Deng Maker Deng Mathiang is very gifted South Sudanese fine art artist based in Kenya. For years, he has been drawing random photos of public speakers that he picked from social media. Deng has lived in East Africa as a refugee, and he never wanted to progress due to lack of materials. This is the inspirational story of Deng Maker with an exclusive interview by SBS Dinka’s stringer Deng Goch Ayiik.
