Kameelah Janan Rasheed: The Edge of Legibility

Kameelah Janan Rasheed: The Edge of Legibility 2022 Directed by Carrie Hawks

Immersed in books since childhood, acclaimed text-based artist Kameelah Janan Rasheed is fascinated by the written word and its power to both define and destabilize how we understand the world. With a close-up style mirroring Kameelah’s own preoccupation with the fragmentary and barely legible, this film explores the artist’s expansive ideas and miniaturist process in her Brooklyn home studio.
