BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions

Kailua Cinemas

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.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by @ThePōpoloProject.

This is the only screening in Hawai’i.


Advance tickets only. No tickets available at Kailua Cinemas.

KAHLIL JOESEPH is an acclaimed artist and filmmaker known for his visionary approach to story-telling through film and video installations. His work challenges conventional linear narratives, using sound and music as materials to evoke lyricism and complexity.

A hallmark of Joseph’s practice is his ability to create works that bridge art and community. His most ambitious and ongoing project is BLKNWS, a conceptual artwork and business that redefines how Black culture is experienced and communicated. Conceived as a continuous, curated broadcast, BLKNWS merges news clips, social media content, and cultural artifacts into a dynamic stream that reflects the richness of Black life. 

Joseph’s work has been featured in major exhibitions worldwide, including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement in Geneva, and the Frye Art Museum in Seattle. His celebrated short film “Fly Paper” premiered at his solo exhibition “Shadow Play” at New York’s New Museum in 2017 and was later showcased internationally in Berlin, London, and Los Angeles.
