Yusuf Dubois Abdul Lateef is a visual artist and educator residing in Toledo, Ohio. His work explores ways in which fundamental principles of art hold spiritual implications and points of connection as tools for community building. His studio practice is intuitively driven as he believes his work is a type of "soul speak", communicating the performative nature of art making and the activation of gratitude. Lateef employs paint, performance, digital art and object making, preferring to use found items.
