This drawing was created for a poster produced by the Walker Art Center to promote the exhibition What’s Behind the X?, curated by Michelle Coffey, founder of WATAC (Walker Art Teen Arts Council). The exhibition explored youth perspectives and creative expression at a time when the Walker was deepening its engagement with emerging artists and community voices. The project overlaps with artist Seitu Jones’s tenure at the Walker, offering a broader context of mentorship and institutional collaboration. This early work by Mkali reflects his growing involvement in cultural institutions while remaining rooted in community-driven, politically aware aesthetics.
