## Caption

The recent rotation of artworks in our Arts of Global Africa gallery includes a stunning photograph “O' my body, make of me always a man who questions!” by artist and filmmaker Shikeith (shikeith). Come see it up close! 

Shikeith draws from his personal experience and interest in hauntology, Christianity, and spiritual traditions from the African diaspora to point to the social pressures and stereotypes that trouble black people’s psyche, particularly Black men. In his own words this photograph captures, “a moment towards ridding Black men of the terrible histories that still haunt our psyches today.”
