The Indian-based collective Raqs Media has selected works from the historical art collection of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna which they then set against current positions, such that Bosch, Dürer, Schiele are combined, for example, with contemporary works by Lakshmana Rao Kotturu, Farideh Lashai,and Lavanya Mani. The canonized order of a Eurocentric art collection is thus moved from its fixed state, offering a different, decolonial angle on the works presented.
