Kaws ‘The Promise’

Written by: Rashawn K. Merchant

To coincide with the unveiling of his sculpture in the Dadu Gardens in Qatar, Brian Donnely (better known as “Kaws”), released a new vinyl figure and poster set. This vinyl edition is known as ‘The Promise.’ It features two of Kaws’ famous mouse COMPANION designs, with one adult version passing a globe to a minor child-like version. The original sculpture is featured in the Dadu Gardens at the Qatar Children’s Museum during this year’s 2022 World Cup. 

The message of this installation and vinyl set is simple. Adults are responsible for safely and responsibly passing the world on to the youth. Children are our future, and we should “promise” to deliver them a world where they can live. The vinyl toys were released on November 22nd and come in black, grey, and brown.
