Kahlil Joseph: Adam D. Kamil Guest Lecture

The UC San Diego Department of Visual Arts ranks among the world’s leading art schools. Founded on the principle that the production, critical analysis and history of art are inter-related activities, we offer undergraduate and graduate programs in both art practice and art history. Our students have the opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in the sciences, engineering, literature, music, philosophy, ethnic studies and all the vast initiatives and resources of the greater university.

Kahlil Joseph is a Los Angeles–based filmmaker and visual artist whose work moves fluidly between cinema, contemporary art, and music. Known for his pioneering practice of “conceptual journalism,” he creates immersive, non-linear narratives that challenge traditional ideas of time, authorship, and the moving image. He is the creator of BLKNWS and the feature film BLKNWS: Terms &amp; Conditions, which expands his exploration of Black cultural production, memory, and global exchange. Joseph’s work has been exhibited at major institutions including the Venice Biennale, Tate Modern, and the New Museum. He co-founded the Underground Museum with his late brother, artist Noah Davis, as a space for radical community engagement with art. A partner in the editorial company Parallax, Joseph has also directed acclaimed short-form work across music and film. His practice continues to redefine the boundaries between art, media, and lived experience.<a href="https://visarts.ucsd.edu/news-events/20260514_kahliljoseph.html" title="https://visarts.ucsd.edu/news-events/20260514_kahliljoseph.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Visit Event Website</a>
