One of These Black Boys is a 212-page artist book on a series of paintings and installation art by Tariku Shiferaw, published in 2025 by Frank. The publication consists of three main texts and over 100 images of artworks, making it a comprehensive overview of this critically acclaimed body of work. The texts include a Foreword by Hannah Giorgis Yohannes, an essay by Dr. Ayanna Dozier, and a conversation between Tariku Shiferaw and artist Tomashi Jackson. Each text offers a deeper insight into Shiferaw's art-making practice. These dialogues open up a larger conversation on what it means to leave a mark in the world - both as an artist and as a human being.
