About this Event
Adapted from Kahlil Joseph's renowned video art installation, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions is a distinctive cinematic experience that mirrors the sonic textures of a record album, weaving fiction and history in an immersive journey where the fictionalized figures of W. E. B Du Bois and Marcus Garvey join artists, musicians, Joseph's family, and even Twitter chats, in a vision for black consciousness. Committed to the portrayal of Black brilliance in all its chaotic, symphonic permutations, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions gives what co-screenwriter Saidiya Hartman describes as “the everyday anarchy of Black lives.”
