Yusuf Durudola

My art develops from my ability to infuse different art forms into my performance art, thus projecting issues that surround human existence. It also explores issues of environmental pollution, echo system, socio-political imbalance, festivities, culture and sensitisation. My practice seeks to engage and spur human minds to consciousness.
