Para poder sobrevivir en Estados Unidos, la cultura negra ha tenido que tornarse ilegible a las miradas indiscretas, es decir a la mirada de los blanco, utilizando el arte como herramienta de subversión y autoexpresión cuyas claves de acceso nos resultan desconocidas. Desde la emancipación, hoy en día es innegable que el Black Art ha sido una fuerza de resistencia, independencia e innovación, que ha catapultando la cultura afroamericana a alturas globales tanto en música, estilo, habla y danza.

"When I first started making photographs, it was the idea of creating spaces where Black men could tap into the emotional tonalities of their being that have been restricted into one dimensional spaces by way of patriarchal definitions of masculinity,” Shikeith says. “I hadn’t really had the full language back then but I knew that it was related to the psychological expression of Black manhood, which encapsulates the full range of emotions and histories we’re entangled in."

Proveniente del norte de Filadelfia, el artista interdisciplinario y
cineasta Shikeith utiliza la imagen para crear nuevos paradigmas de la
experiencia masculina negra queer en un mundo que fetichiza y
deshumaniza simultáneamente la masculinidad negra. Ocupando un espacio a
la vez abierto y encubierto, Shikeith traduce la energía del deseo como
lo sagrado hecho carne, creando imágenes tremendamente potentes.
