Notes

With an ample editorial team, the Sarai Readers are dense publications, perhaps reflecting the ample views of its editors. From New Delhi to Rotterdam to Australia to the world; from the “new media subculture” to the “art subculture” to street media activism; from Indian and Western academies to the voices of Cybermohalla or the voices of Delhi workshop participants to artists all around the globe. All traveling through the public domain of the Internet, the screens of our machines. And bookstores and libraries.

An exemplary publication of the thoughts, complexities and historical imbrications of contingent historical junctures, in the Sarai Readers the street is always present, or if wished, subaltern histories. Through the density of it all--the wars, the struggles, the encroachments on our freedoms, the violence, the different historical processes--a firm belief on what’s possible overflows, and is enacted, through the pages of all the readers.

Free and downloadable from their website. For the Sarai Readers.
