Every human being is an artist, said the late German art theorist and pedagogue Joseph Beuys. Handed a canvas, brushes and acrylic paints while sipping wine with soft music in the background, I found myself proving him right at an event dubbed Art & Wine at Olive Restaurant in Dar es Salaam.

The organiser, Leticia Waduma, worked with Collin Edwin, a full time artist who was an instructor for the participants.
