BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions
Hosted by Africadelic. The screening is introduced by Maurice San-A-Jong, founder of Narratives of the Colonized, whose work examines colonial histories, African and Caribbean independence movements and the lasting influence of colonial narratives on contemporary society.
Reimagining Black history, memory and the stories that shape our understanding of the world.
In BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions, acclaimed artist and filmmaker Khalil Joseph takes us on a visually immersive journey through Black history, culture and consciousness. At its centre is The Resonance Field, a monumental project by fictional West African scholar Funmilayo Akechukwu, which draws a journalist into an exploration of the Atlantic Ocean, challenging conventional ideas of time, memory and identity.
Inspired in part by W.E.B. Du Bois’s vision for an Encyclopedia Africana, Joseph brings historical figures, contemporary artists and everyday expressions of Black life into a layered cinematic conversation across the diaspora. Blurring documentary, fiction and visual art, the film challenges who controls history and how Black narratives are remembered, represented and passed on.
