Conceived as a cinematic experience that mirrors the sonic textures of a record album, BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions is adapted from Kahlil Joseph’s renowned video art installation. The film’s unique soundscape is mastered in stereo, with featured guest artists interwoven across its 21 tracks, each adding their distinct perspective. Drawing inspiration from W.E.B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, Saidiya Hartman, and others, the film juxtaposes their ideas with samples from YouTube, social media, film, television, and journalism. BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions blends fictional and historical characters into an immersive story spanning 247 years across land and sea.
