Institute of Contemporary Arts
BLKNWS: Terms and Conditions, dir. Kahlil Joseph, USA 2025, 113 min.


Book tickets

Using both W.E.B. DuBois’ Encyclopedia Africana (the scholar’s chronicle of African-American life) and Joseph’s own family history as jumping off points, BLKNWS defies any easy classification. In some scenes, the film is essayistic, employing clips and memes as a history lesson. In others, it’s Afrofuturist, following a speculative Biennale cruise. Joseph’s unique voice and filmmaking style make this an utterly compelling watch.
