My name is Kameelah Janan Rasheed. I am a learner and death doula in training. This is my website!
I study language and power:
death, (dis)obedience, discrepancy, and deception
I make:
language-saturated installations, film/video (poems?), handheld physical and digital text objects to be read, performance-adjacent improvisational artist talks, archival collections, scores/prompts for humans, software, human-made objects, and plants (or, playthings), occult fiction stories and loglines, (intergenerational) learning environments, stand-up comedy sets, wayward translations, (unrecorded) infodump lectures about special interests, devotional kits, walking paths, theremin sound works, and photographs
