souls, every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out. navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the latest sculley. and i'm a visual artist living and working in johannesburg. and this is my city, the, [000:00:00;00] the nelson mondale. i lived in this, the largest city in south africa. but your honest book is now home to a thriving and died odyssey. while i look at

the, when i was growing up, was considered a very serious profession. and this place that we in right now, august house that has all of these contemporary arts of studios, and it was completely unknown to me. the sense graduating i have made prints, making and painting my art forms. it has been rewarding to create pieces that have been featured in major exhibitions in europe and south africa. the i'm going to introduce you to some job of items that are revolutionizing the way we see african contemporary art on this continent. this got coming up in this episode

of dw use oxy africa. we made street arches the bones much not will celebrate strong african women. pains a blessing, who bending shows us is edgy paintings made from recycled materials and ancient mythology is the inspiration for scouts in 90 button tumble. it'd be so modal but tells us how she creates a unique metrics photo collages. and we will see how job a line you may need, help the young photographers find their own personal subject matches. this is model name, a vibrant cultural district in the industry. model name is to to would that means place of lights. and level neg is the domain of the bones and much box for the bones the streets. his kansas defines a shy about his office, a boy, but the strong woman and his family encouraged him to the city and eventually

create his super sized public onto x box. are you going to take me on a tour of summerville? i can't do it as go. yeah. yeah. so i'm about to show you. so my work and mobile name and stuff i've done in recent years. and the progression from homicide doing culture, them to bonds. like this on their campus scale. uh. maybe. yeah. these are, these are probably the storytelling. nice or saying i'm part of the narrative that i mention, you pushing, and for the fact that the 2 women, acosta and so rich you with heritage in college and tradition. and you know, you have a lot of controls. i try to paint it straight onto this. yeah, to, i mean straight onto we did so the pod print, pod painted. so i painted the portraits and design the background patton's been printed. those then painted the porch. it's amazing. you want to show me something else? yes, just start on the corner,

the master the i love this head piece. yeah, this is sort of a crown type of thing. this way, it even makes me want to grow my hair out. the thing is thinking about how strong the mind of a woman is. um, that's why this like lettering and just like different stories, the narrative of the background in energy, everything importing, being a woman and being strong. and i'm unapologetic about it on a way to the next to it. the bonus takes me through a new cultural precinct called jew city. all goes sideways. but that's the only thing that's got to work every day. like for us advertise data, i'm down 2020 or on june. so to barnes, why did you choose st overseas east?

i would say to be over the visual language. for that. i believe that it's 50 everybody odd spaces sometimes can be a bit intimidating that even though these speaking to a wide variety of people, that people can't go into spaces which is in a way of life only for they need the wow. yeah, exactly that. and all the stories that i talked with is like they are really typical every days these everyday people over that page. um, so i feel like people can relate to much more and um they can see that part of it. and also the effect that they get to see the whole process dissolves in like in the creative process. i like part of a lot of it. yeah, i get to ask about it. they get to engage and, and they get to interact with. it's amazing. so the bones, i'm gonna have to see you a little bit later. cool. take you a to see you later. the,

the bones, materials are inspired by photograph. in johannesburg has been home to a number of great documentary photographers, including the legendary david gold plan. the gold let spend time in the community of to close, and he main told photographer job loudly, meaning that many has gone on to create photographic with about people over coming they traumatic past the double line. it gives clauses on saturday mornings at the local high school in the to cause a township 19 for 2 copies, everything like that. and we need to understand like in the background, save it for the day. if she's at home home home could be any way we have to be

pissed on. so like i said, we're not just taking you taking photographs, that's the crating of that meta to like. busy the project, so it's only about taking photographs, but it's dealing with this problems that they faced on the database. so my main aim is to, to coronado, the use of photography, how, how photography was used. i ended up a touring of the times and also just to expose the young ones to photography. so i'm here to learn more about photography and i had a dream. and then you just gave me those camera. and i was like, i'll just take this camera so ever since i'm on the journey, i can see a good picture. me double lani isn't always in the classroom. he currently has an exhibition at the prestigious goodman

gallery. this exhibition consists of photographs that he took in 2021 in the shop full community. the shuffle of massacre took place on the 21st of march, 1960 south of johannes, the under apartheid laws. black people had their freedom of movement, restricted, and were forced to carry past books. residents marched to the police station to protest, but as far things open, fire approximately 250 people were injured and 69 died. in this project, i calibrate it with the community. oh this of us. is that with a 1960, how do i directly affect it by the shopping shooting? i remember the 1st time when i did the portrays, already said this options with them to improve, and that's the way then some,

you know, the hope chest, the chop to them, memories of the things that, for example, this bec, that was there, the formula to find it fast, so this became improved that the for this past or doubled on the also photographed objects belonging to community activism like this for the gays that belong to a woman who mobilized resistance and shoppable in the days of a pa date they used to hide the documents the meetings and the minutes and disappear. and one day the police came and turned a house upside down and but when they go to just peters, they took it and just threw that way. and that's how she she, she could save it no way. most of them, they've never spoke about this to anyone and the level that we engaged in. so the conversation becomes a very important part of the project and the start opening up, you know, that would show that this is me. which for me,

it was great for them to retain some sense given the photographs. so what do we do is that we edit them to do so i also invited them to the opening, you know, and i mean, the response was very, very positive. so i mean my, my less more to say was those tvs we have this job? i am who i am because of you double, i need to how many is a photographer and close dialogue with his chosen protagonists. the, i'm not all to meet an options who use this photo is in a very different way. the things are having me healthy so peaceful sources, all kinds of images from the colonial era, which he then recombines to create new kinds of african narrative. in this way,

she is reclaiming african history. my odd sort of identity of spirituality, of course, developing african things black, you know, what is your inspiration? so i do a lot of research and so i came across as mr. ology. and i was just like, so interested in it and i was like, why don't i just put this in my work. so that's why i started doing a lot of cuts in case like animal collages, which just cut the case. just wanted to use my hand. basically wanted to get your hands to and i just paid the so the odds just sort of gave me that gateway to life. going to a little bit more about myself. so if you chose narratives with jewels the contributions of story telling you was in her family, my arts all by arranging your own narrative. yeah. could you be strategically made to forget so much about on his jo? sure. so sure. i really like this,

what he's saying is actually based on the body of work that just finished quote for it was about the municipal vendors on top of a hill that's basically what i'd like. has us monitor. yeah. yeah. yeah. and it just showcase boy alone gets his way to we don't know where he's waiting for, but i actually did like a short sell them on it. in the animated short film boy, so peaceful finds the manual in a nighttime course. it's a magical was created from paper, cut out, that feels like a modern day fable. a visa. thank you so much for allowing me in c o. in showing me i. it is been an amazing day. thanks. the i'm so excited by it's a piece of interpretation of african odds. apparently it's ok museum has an

exhibition kind of bridging the gap between contemporary effort and not an african artifact the i and push it. and i and the advocate of convictions, curious to move you, i think, you know, the value of a conviction like this aesthetic office piece of stuff, but unity to use africa as they fall to the point. that's a reference point. and they create pursuits or the search, the same creative work that has been done throughout the ages. and this work still continues. and i think that's what it offers. it offers everybody, you know, relates, i think, office then the ability to point to something that shows the creativity of african people to turn in this episode of di w's odyssey. i forget

we are visiting johannes bates. odyssey this is victoria yacht, a cultural space which is strongly connected to the street life around it. visitors can walk right in and get to see studios of a number of autism is a here we uh. okay. so excited to meet you a, what is it taking place in group? and the students are at a studio to see is woods that has been a hit in europe and new york, the placing focuses on disrupting colonial narratives, south africa. so placing it in your studio, i see print making, i see painting, i see sculptural work, what is your preferred medium painting give bit to these other mediums, for instance of this comp trust, i scale it to

a nice my way excited cleaning my painting to life to live and therefore man, oh yes, i want to. so you the cow head are asking for means like as expressing myself in a way i used my one body and a close to my on my so to move around and expressed a such an idea of those ideas are festival minutes coming from the page. there's a tendency of having so many details, but little odd to the law side. so this little outrage, they are the ones that assist me via to pay, did or not know that media and is because to stop child before means beads. let's she so nice thing i've realized recently you've incorporated things like tissue paper and gift wrapping into your work. can you tell us a bit more about what prompted this change. these are sort of people. that's why the, in an envelope, in south africa, priest and antea potted activist, michael actually was seriously injured in

a late to fall back in 1992. his don't have hands now, and it's going to have the one i'm looking at the materials itself that me throw that travels a lot to know across the globe to deliver different east and to take you didn't include. but i did see with my way to can make a lot of sense because part of my wake from the file, it looks so beautiful. but when you come close that window seats you, it's not beautiful as i do now. it's time for placing an i to do some kind of full collaboration of kids to you. let's see what we can do together. i think all the pains, fund cycles i'll pay and that forms the face to face use of this triangle. it is better to love pink. i don't know. why do you know that it's side of that one? didn't envision pink,

but it's like how to modern invention. i think what an old the it was during the time of the previous life brotherhood, the pink and purple and light blue ball came an actual color allowed to select placing please on file list. say no, it isn't dead cell my work. i know you on business. what else do you like uh it is clearly original. you'll come, you'll come and see when they're ready when that's when it's done all weekend but or each other they can hear the needs of tell you. oh my the oh wow. it actually makes it really good to give them so nice. some other color. oh wow. nice me. i like 3 of say, i know it was i really serious, big fall rooms in terms of control. yeah, it looks like a t is that that is not legal. so never a never ending with it. and i

really don't think in my lifetime. no, unfortunately it's not like kids. not even. but what, what do we think? what do you think for the i love it. the image is the color, the energy, the color is the bob. you know, this is me, you know, i, i think i'm with that didn't invite you is the. yeah, yeah. the my time with placing has inspired me to visit keys off mile. it is a popular cultural and creative use the nation for many young people. it is also has to the search a gallery, an ever audrey gallery, where i exhibit much of my own with the stooges. and i think it's because they symbolize so many things to me. it has all these contradictions within itself. it's this thing that kind of looks so silly and

stupid use it. it's called p t d and ostrich. i kind of sometimes use it to symbolize the fact that people like to know things that they shouldn't. so within violations of africa, gender based violence, which is a massive problem. yeah. and ostrich is always trying to ignore something by pushing it said into the sand, being around them and in south africa is a very complicated thing. our racial identity is deeply ingrained in rates in violence and oppression. and i think within my work and within my own, i didn't see i'm trying to find a perfect middle ground where i can feel hard against things. it's happened to us, but also be open enough to figure out what it means in a modern world to be a brown woman in south africa. and my wish fee is to fizzle. i'd rather die out in a dry and bang bin, fizzle out the next stop on out dw oxy africa, jenny,

is the johannesburg district. chippy star. this is the west coast bronze foundry. the and this is the, with an artist and scope to non deep on top of the . so what i do share because i don't have the facilities in my own studio. i create and costs all my friends. what type of themes do you explore within the work that you do? yeah, the things that i work with are the connection between animals and humans, or how in mythology, within different civilizations, animals and humans, either live alongside each other or marriage into one another, some point 5 thing versus protecting. so quite a sort of broad spectrum of things,

but always thinking around the kind of binary or the lines that exist between what seems to be opposite. so my preferred median is inks and crayons and print making. what made you decide on scouts and what is it about sculpture that attracts you to a 12 are thinking a very 3 dimensional way of kind of become bored with one medium in ok. so i move between performance photography painting, chris making because i think one of these medians onto different questions. how does scale play a role in your practice? the interesting thing about sculpture specifically is that how one encounters with it being installation or just the single scope a fixed how they read it, you know, so i think just within my practice, in general i've used scale as something that either draws you in all kind of makes you a number skate a time,

so it's kind of loose between those 2 feelings for me. what is it about bronze that attracts you so much? is a historical space around how bronze has worked with the, the in europe, or even in africa with the old friends. the cost is of the need. and i think for me, there's something around how the material immortalize is the person being, you know, that is really amazing. there is a shiny elementary, but also adult element to how you use patina. really helps and shift put the material dimension looks like at certain points. so i liked the facility and it's but also how it's it's been used in different civilizations to more to last people and animals in, in very specific ways. it's so nice when the cooling body comes on, not as the day goes to an end, d, w, use odd c, i forget it brings me back to the in the city and august house

the i've always found drawing to be a good way to process my i've been inspired by the dictation of all the different artists i've made, each in their own unique form of expression. how did this signals to old south africans that we can have a voice? no matches who we are. way we come from

the found back in my building and i'm about to meet up with the volumes because he is going to help me leave my permanent mark on the streets of joe. that the headphones a good bit. jeremy back starts with. when does it gets done? so it might as well get on this one is a very nice spot. what i want you to teach me actually to save you some race and company. you just me, i guess, and i have to tell you it's kind of as while. yeah, it'll just be one line of people nowadays random all comes out. okay. so

basically in the restored oh my gosh. i never saw it was this difficult. i accidentally feel like you should finish the automatic the to them. i approve of this the wrong interpretation of a lady's 40 piece of legs because that's of creativity is all about collaboration. this is indeed w's r. c. i forget, bringing you to hand is the most vibrant odd. see the,
