I’ll be on a panel at the Denver premiere of BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions on May 29, 2026, at the MCA Denver Holiday Theater.

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.

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.

MATTER Seminar Subscribers, Biennial Culture Club, and MCA Denver members receive discounted $10 tickets.

Panel participants include:

• Lisa Kennedy, Village Voice Film Critic and contributor to Variety and The New York Times
• Shari Frilot, Senior Programmer and Chief Curator, New Frontier, Sundance Film Festival
• Julian Bleecker, Designer, Speculative Engineer, and Founder, Near Future Laboratory
• Kahlil Joseph, filmmaker, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions
