I’ll be on a panel with Kahlil Joseph, director of BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions at the Denver premiere of his remarkable science-fictional sonic mirror on May 29, 2026, at the MCA Denver Holiday Theater. Grab your tickets and join us for an evening of film and dialogue that moves between history, narrative, and media - inviting new ways of seeing and understanding Black experience.
Biennial of the Americas, MATTER, MCA Denver, and Sundance Film Festival are partnering together for a special screening of BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions at the MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater.
Adapted from Kahlil Joseph’s renowned video installation, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions is a cinematic work that mirrors the sonic textures of an album - interweaving fiction and history through cultural figures, artists, and digital voices in a vision of Black consciousness.
The evening includes a social hour, bookstore pop-up, and a post-film conversation featuring Lisa Kennedy, Shari Frilot, Julian Bleecker, Rick Griffith, and Kahlil Joseph.
