Her research-based and process-oriented practice rooted in Black feminist theory revolves around archives, specifically the gaps and blanks in public archives and collections. Her works, which intertwine documentary and fiction and are presented in a wide range of mediums, examine the present of an everlasting colonial past. Kazeem-Kamiński’s first artistic monograph a past without closure will be published by Sternberg Press in 2023.
