Awol Erizku: X is composed of new and recent works, including photographs, sculptures, works on paper, film, archival material, and a decades-spanning soundtrack. Together, they collectively convey the artist’s view of Malcolm X as a metaphorical prism of faith, masculinity, and transformation, and a key figure connecting the United States and Africa. Join the artist in conservation with Walter O. Evans, art collector and co-founder of SCAD Museum of Art’s Walter and Linda Evans Collection of African American Art; Najha Zigbi-Johnson, a writer, cultural organizer, and editor of Mapping Malcolm; and Daniel S. Palmer, exhibition curator and chief curator of the SCAD Museum of Art.
