Damian's Art Gallery I Xenophobia

Azuri Muhuli, a 24 year old Congolese refuge, has been living in South Africa for 16 years and has been both a victim of and a witness to attacks on immigrants in Durban. 

He was at school when he realised that he could communicate with other learners through drawing even if he could not speak their languages. “This is when I realised that art is a universal language that can be understood by anyone and everyone. My friends all adored my drawings and would pay me to draw their favourite wrestling superstars.”

He said his drawings tell stories of the working class. “I challenge social issues such as gender-based violence, racism, corruption, especially in Africa, slavery, racism, human trafficking and xenophobia,” he said
