Kameelah Janan Rasheed is a radical self-publisher, and pamphleteer based in Brooklyn. Through large-scale banners in public space, to lecture performances, and Xeroxed "collages", Rasheed investigates the construction of Blackness through intertextual compositions that speak to the need to rip it up – be it American history, or class structure – and start again. Her work is characterized by a zine-like cut and paste aesthetic in which the artist alters or appropriates reference and textbooks to upend, if not "unlearn" dominant cultural narratives, particularly those which reinforce white supremacy Rasheed is one of the leading explorers searching for new forms of representation that counter the cannon by articulating, both formally and methodologically, how identity is not a fixed essential quality, but is instead the product of a fluid non-linear process. Kameelah is committed to developing a visual language for this important scholarship – which is aimed not only at unlearning biased tales, but is also focused on listening to alternative stories, told by other, traditionally marginalized voices, so as to learn more about the world.
