Shikeith at TILT Institute for the Contemporary Image

Solo Exhibition:People Who Die Bad Don't Stay in the Ground
A solo exhibition of works by Shikeith, People Who Die Bad Don’t Stay in the Ground will be on view at the TILT Institute for the Contemporary Image from September 11 through November 22, 2025.
 
Inspired by a resonant line from Toni Morrison’s seminal novel Beloved, People Who Die Bad Don’t Stay in the Ground, delves deeply into visual artist Shikeith’s ongoing investigation of the hauntological encounters and lived realities of Black men and boys. Through a rich and varied multidisciplinary practice encompassing photography, video, and installation, the exhibition chronicles the enduring legacy of historical traumas and their persistent reverberations across successive generations, actively resisting attempts at erasure and historical amnesia.
