Artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Curator Sofie Krogh Christensen, and Christina Landbrecht from Schering Stiftung in conversation with KW Studio about the exhibition 'Kameelah Janan Rasheed – in the coherence, we weep ', on view 14 September 2023 – 7 January 2024 at KW Institute for Contemporary Art. Rasheed focuses her work on the materiality and legibility of text, writing, and language, as well as the potential of intermedial translation. Her practice is informed by a multitude of ideas and theories from science, literature, philosophy, religion, and critical theory, between which no epistemological hierarchies exist. The questioning of these and her own embodied knowledge becomes the force that drives Rasheed and her work. In her practice, the Brooklyn-based artist and learner collects references and maps them out like in the layout of a book. She regards letters as characters with histories, desires, and interiority, and integrates these into her writings, annotates them, montages them, and attaches them to walls. By doing so, Rasheed bridges the gap between politics and poetry, trying to find connections and points of disintegration.
