Description
Rasheed’s book brings together key elements of this exhibition: language and knowledge. Her collages comprise texts, tweets, and other forms of social media. “In this book, Rasheed freely assembles her own writing, autocorrect algorithms, and Oulipian poems … alongside visuals drawn from her personal image archive, pop culture, zoological journals, quranic verses, and other sources. ... At the heart of No New Theories is an expansive interview between Rasheed and Jessica Lynne ... The conversation [is] constructed through a layering process … with annotations, citations, and excerpted texts from writers Samuel R. Delany, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Emily Dickinson, and others.” From Printed Matter.
