It is rather uncanny that Afterglow, the seventh edition of the Yokohama Triennale, Japan, curated by Raqs Media Collective, seems like a doomsday prophecy, not unlike the current Covid-19 pandemic scenario. Afterglow was one of the few major art events to take place this year after a spate of cancelled exhibitions, a challenging feat of co-ordination between India-based Artist Directors – Monica Narula, Shuddhabrata Sengupta and Jeebesh Bagchi who form the Raqs Media Collective – and artists across the world and an on-site team in Japan. The exhibition sprawled over three venues – Yokohama Museum of Art, PLOT 48 and NYK Maritime Museum – and included works by 67 artists from all over the world. The exhibition went on for 80 days from the 17th of July to the 11th of October, and could be experienced in person as well as online.
