Two weeks ago, at the New Wave exhibition at One Off Contemporary Art Gallery, a quiet young artist stood out. With a gentle demeanour, rugged hair, and a soft voice, Yusuf Mirumbe captured attention not through theatrics, but through his art that is minimalistic, and emotionally charged, telling aching stories from the streets. His brush spoke volumes.
A few years into his painting journey, Yusuf already paints like a seasoned hand. His journey began not at an art school, but at Alfajiri Street Kids Art Gallery, an initiative that empowers children and youth from the streets through the transformative power of art.
