Kameelah Janan Rasheed (b. 1985, East Palo Alto, CA) grapples with the poetics, politics, and pleasures of the unfinished and uncontained. She is invested in Black storytelling technologies that invite us to consider ways of [un]learning that are interdisciplinary, interspecies, and interstellar. Engaging primarily with text, Rasheed works across different substrates and compositional fields. She works on the page, on walls, and in public spaces to create associative arrangements of letters, words, and shapes that invite an embodied and iterative reading process. She is the author of two artist books, An Alphabetical Accumulation of Approximate Observations (Endless Editions, 2019) and No New Theories (Printed Matter, 2019). www.kameelahr.com
