The Geopolitics of Infrastructure, curated by Nav Haq, brings together artists who consider the enchantment and power relations of infrastructure. It also considers the possibilities of artistic imagination in conceptualising new and alternative infrastructural models.

Infrastructure is big ideas. It finds its purpose in facilitating the flows, exchanges and support structures that shape our lives, livelihoods and civilisations. The classical elements – earth, wind, water, fire – are exploited in a context of overlapping jurisdictions, rapid urbanisation and the restructuring of labour. All of this exposing the landscape to complex geopolitics. The exhibition The Geopolitics of Infrastructure presents the work of a generation of artists providing such contemporary perspectives on the particular topicality of infrastructure in the trans-national geopolitical context.

Four Acts of Recovery  is the result of Rajani winning the Han Nefkens Foundation – South Asian Video Art Production Grant 2023, in collaboration with in collaboration with Prameya Art Foundation, Delhi, India; Nottingham Contemporary, UK; Ishara Art Foundation, Dubai, UAE; Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA), Belgium and Para Site (Hong Kong).
