The Institute of Black Imagination is pleased to share a small holiday offering. We’re extending limited access to BLKNEWS, the moving-image work by Khalil Joseph—an experience that asks us to consider how Black life is seen, remembered, and carried forward. This form invites a brief reflection on Black media as memory—and its urgency in this moment. Note: Must reside in NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles or London. Two tickets per city. Selected participants will be notified on the morning of December 25, 2025.

Whether in the built environment, urban planning, or social domain, the world we find ourselves in has been designed. By whom? For whom? In a world not designed with us in mind, Black people have continually hacked, remixed, and jerry-rigged the spaces, objects, and ideas that we confront. The Institute is a learning framework, designed to foster critical discourse around the exclusionary nature of design, particularly in the built environment. It originated in 2018 as a library. A library built around an acquisition of over 1,900 books from the personal archives of the great multi-hyphenate artist Geoffrey Holder. In 2020, the Institute developed a podcast to incorporate Black and Brown voices around the broader concept of design thinking. However, the podcast transcends any one discipline, with each contributor forming a constellation in the galaxy of the Black Imagination.
