This essay discusses the exhibition Double Conscience (Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, March 20th – August 16th 2015) which features the film m.A.A.d City (2015) by filmmaker Kahlil Joseph. In its current state, the essay considers the moment Joseph (and jointly rapper, Kendrick Lamar) are working in - historically, politically, visually, and artistically. Contextualizing the film amidst other works by LA based filmmakers such as Charles Burnett and Ulysses Jenkins, the essay aims to grapple with the black cinematic aesthetic coined by Manthia Diawara to show the many stakes of Joseph's filmmaking today. That is, Joseph’s work in m.A.A.d City captures a misé en scene that extends beyond the obvious dualism present in Double Conscience, providing an introspective, nuanced lens for which to examine South Central, Los Angeles as a cultural space and place of multiplicity. I was granted private access to the film by MOCA LA and have used it as a primary source in writing this paper.
