LinkLinks Washington Post Express: The second annual By The People festival aims to be bigger, better and barge-ier By Editor On Jun 12, 2019 Last updated Jun 12, 2019 25 Share Starting Saturday, a very unusual broadcast will stream live to TVs at a downtown hotel and a Union Market event space. A mashup of music and videos — including talks by black intellectuals, news footage and home videos — “BLKNWS” aims to capture the full complexity of African American life and culture and to counter dominant media narratives. The piece, by artist and filmmaker Kahlil Joseph, who has directed music videos for Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé, is just one example of the world-class art landing in unusual places around D.C. for this year’s By the People festival. 25 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
