Artist Bio

His work is held by museums and private collectors across the world.

businesses and civic centers throughout Los Angeles. BLKNWS was originally incubated at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University through roundtable discussions with faculty, staff, and
students as part of a 2018-2019 Presidential Residency on the Future of Arts.

and in 2016 he was nominated for an Emmy award for his co-direction of Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade.
Joseph currently serves as the artistic director of The Underground Museum, a pioneering independent art museum, exhibition space and community hub in Los Angeles that he co-founded with his sister-in-law, Karon Davis, and his late brother, the visionary artist an curator Noah Davis.
