Yusuf is from the township of Bweyogerere in the Wakiso District of Southern Uganda. Located in the hills of what some would call a suburb of Kampala is popularly known as the Home of Ugandan Soccer, and is situated along the travel route to and from Kenya.
Growing up in a place known for its natural beauty, Yusuf found inspiration in the world around him. Magnetized by the allure of subjectivity provided by nature and the daily routines that reflected life — specifically the feelings & stories of people in society; he felt compelled to interpret the tenor of these narratives as an untold discourse. I was able to spend a day with the artist and document him creating art and hear his incredible journey and stories.
