look at that. when i was growing up because it was considered a very serious profession, and this place that we in right now august, the house that has all of these contemporary odds 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 resolution icing. the way we see african contemporary art on this continent. this go, coming up in this episode of d. w's. ok, see africa?

we made street arches the bones much not the mural celebrate straw. the african women pains a placing angle bending shows us is ag paintings made from recycled materials and ancient mythology is the inspiration for skelton 90 by the tumble. it'd be so modal but tells us how she creates an enigmatic photo collages. and we will see how job lanita i mean, need, helps young photographers find their own personal subject matches. this is model name a vibrant cultural district in the industry. model name is a suit you would, that means place of lights. and level neg is the domain of the bones, much that for the bones the streets, his kansas. the bones of shy about his aunt as a boy. but the strong woman in his family encouraged him to the city and eventually create his super sized public onto legs. so the box, are you gonna take me on

a tour of summerville? okay, let's do it. let's 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 how i started doing culture damned bonds like this. so i look at this scale. uh, maybe. yeah. these are, these are probably the storytelling. nice or saying i'm part of the narrative benefits you pushing and for the fact that the 2 women are closer and so rich you, it's heritage and culture and tradition. and you know, you have a lot of controls. i try to paint it straight onto this. yeah. to opinion straight on to we did so the pod print, pod painted, so i painted the portraits and design the background. patents have been painted. those then painted the porch. it's amazing. oh, you want to show me something else? yes. just start on the corner. the

man i love this head piece. yeah, this is sort of a crown. so for thing this works, it even makes me want to grow my handout. basically speaking about how strong the mind for women is um that's why this like measuring and just like different stories, the narrative of the background in any g, everything. i am forwarding, being a woman and being strong, and i'm unapologetic about it's on the way to the next to it. the bonus takes me through a new cultural precinct called jew city all go sideways and that's the thing that's got to work every day. like, how do i type data? i'm done. 2020 or on june. so the bones, why did you choose st overseas? i would say to be over the visual language. for that,

i believe that it's 50 everybody odd spaces on tends to be a bit intimidating that even though they speak into 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 also the story that i taught with things like they are related to everyday, everyday people for that i page um, so i feel like people can relate to much more and um they can see that and part of it. and also the fact that they get to see the whole process dissolves them like in the creative process. i like part of a lot of it. yeah, i get to ask, abided to get to engage and live, and they get to interact with. it's amazing. so the bones, i'm gonna have to see you a little bit later later see later the, the bones,

materials are inspired by photographs and johannes. but it has been him to a number of great documentary photographers, including the legendary david gold plan, the gold that spend time in the community have to close. and he main told photographer job, allowing the meaning that many has gone on to create photographic with about people over the coming day. dramatic task. the job elani gives clauses on saturday mornings at the local. i can see a good picture. 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 shuffle community. the shuffle 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 pos books. residents marched to the police station to protest, but as far as these opened fire, approximately 250 people were injured. and 69 died in this project, calibrated with the community. oh, this of us 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 object with them to improve and that's the some, you know,

the object that trap to them memories of the things that, for example, this bec, that was there, the formula to find it fast with this and you can prove that the father has passed or doubled on the also photographed objects belonging to community activism. like this for the days that belonged to a woman who mobilized resistance and chavo in the days of a pa date they used to hide the documents, the meetings, and the minutes and disappeared. and one day the police came and turned a house upside down and but when they go to dispute, they took it and just throw it away. 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 off, you know, that would show that this is me, which for me it was great for them to retain themselves even to photographs. so

what do we do is that we edit them to do. so i always say invited them to the opening, you know, and i mean the response was very, very positive. so i mean my, my life more to say was those human beings will help his job and i am who i am because a few trouble i need many is a photographer and close dialogue with his chosen protagonists. the, i'm now to meet an option to use this photo is in a very different way as the thanks for having me healthy so peaceful sources. all kinds of images from the colonial era which even recombines to create new kinds of african narrative. in this way,

she is reclaiming african history. my also about identity, the spirituality, of course, developing african things lack. what is your inspiration? so i do a lot of research and so i came across as much 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 dirty. and i just paid the so that just sort of gave me that gateway to life. going a little bit more about myself. so people's narrative would choose upon traditions of story telling was in her family my art sort of outage in your own narrative. yeah. could you be strategically made to forget so much about and his jo choose so true. i really like this thing is actually based on the body

of life that just finished cold for it was just about the minute tool vendors on top of a hill. that's basically what i have access to. yeah. yeah. and it just showcase boy alone, i guess is way too. we don't know where she's waiting for, but i actually did like a short sell them on it. in the animated show, cool boy. so peaceful finds the mind it tool in and nighttime cars. 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 into a world and showing me odd. it is been an amazing day. thanks. the i'm so excited by the soul of interpretation of african odds. apparently it's odd

museum has an exhibition kind of bridging the gap between contemporary effort and not an african artifact. the i n n i n, the advocates collections curious to move you. i think, you know, the value of a conviction like this instead of the office piece of stuff, but unity to use africa as they sponsored points as a reference point. and they create the suit or the search. it's been 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 of the ability to point to something that shows the creativity of african people to us kind of in this episode of di w's,

r c. i forget we are visiting johannes biggs 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 visiting place in japan and the students are at a studio to see his work that has been a hit in europe. and new york placing focuses on disrupting colonial narratives, south africa. so placing it in your studio, i see print making, i see painting, sculptural work. what is your preferred medium painting? give that to these other mediums for instance of this golf child? skeletal. nice my way excited cleaning my painting to life to live

performance. oh yes, i want to so you the cow head. oh yeah. before means, like as expressing myself in a way i used my one body and a close to my around myself, to move around and express the such an idea of those ideas of that 15 minutes coming from the page. there's a tendency of having so many details a little odd to the last side. so this new outrage, they are the ones that assist me via to pay, did or not know that media and is because to stop. so therefore means vigorous an issue. so those things i've realized recently, even though for age of things like tissue paper and gift dropping into your work, can you tell us a bit more about what prompted this change. these are sort of people that was in an envelope. in south africa, priest and antioch potted active as michael actually was seriously injured in

a late diploma in 1992, his don't have hands now and it's going to be one hide. looking at the materials itself that me throw that travels a lot to know across the globe, defense of gifts and to take you to an incorporated my way to can make a lot of sense because also my wake from the file. it looks so beautiful. but when you come close that window seats you, it's not beautiful as id. now it's time for placing an i to do some colorful collaboration of kids to you. let's see what you can do together. i think all the pains find cycles. and that forms the face to face use of this title. it is better to love people don't know why do you know that it's side of it? why didn't invention pink?

my the, it's like how to model invention like things like that in old doesn't. uh, 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 our style list say no, it isn't dead cell my work. i know you as is for this. do you like uh it is clearly original. feel comfortable coming to see the window and that's when it's done all weekend, but reach on a can. it's the yeah. the need of to you. oh my the oh wow. it actually looks really good to get back to. so nice. so my, the color. oh, nice nice. i like 3 of say, i know it was i really see speak for rooms in terms of the control. yeah, it looks like a t is that that is not the ending of the never ending. well it and

i really don't think in my lifetime. no, unfortunately, no, i kids not even but what? so i do 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 was placing has inspired me to visit keys off mile. it is a popular cultural and creative estimation for many young people. it is also has to the search a gallery and over audrey gallery, where i exhibit much of my own way 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, it's tuesday, the se, it,

it's called p t d p. an ostrich. i kind of sometimes use it to symbolize the fact that people like to know things that they shouldn't. so within violence of africa, gender based violence, which is a massive problem yet. and australia is always trying to ignore something by pushing it said into the sand. being abroad, luminance of africa is a very complicated thing. our racial identity is deeply ingrained in right in violence, in oppression. and i think was in my work and was in my own. i didn't see i'm trying to find a perfect middle ground where i can feel hard against things that'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 wisp is to fizzle. i drive the dalton and john bang bin, fizzle out the

next stop on out dw oxy africa, jenny, is the johannesburg district chippy style? this is the west coast bronze foundry. the and this is the, with a just and scout 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 cost for 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 this ology within different civilizations, animals and humans is a live alongside each other on marriage into one another, some point $52.00 versus projecting. so quite a sort of broad spectrum of things,

the noise thinking around the kind of binary was a line that exists between what seemed to be opposite. so my preferred median is inks and crayons and print making. what made you decide on sculpture and what is it about sculpture that attracts you to a 2 of our thinking, a very 3 dimensional way of kind of become bored with one medium in. okay, so i move between performance photography painting making because i think one of these medians onto different questions. how does scale play a. busy role in your practice, the interesting thing about sculpture specifically is that how one encounters with it being installation or just the single sculpture a fixed how they read it, you know, so i think just did in my practice in general of use scale as something that either draws you in or 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 bryan's that attracts you so much? says the historical space around how bronze has worked with a be in europe or even in africa with the old friends cost is i've been in 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 a dial 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. so nice when the cooling body comes on, not as the day goes to an end, v w's odyssey africa brings me back to the in the city. and august house,

the i've always found drawing to be a good way to process the evidence by, by the dedication 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 matter who we are when we come from

the sun back in modeling, and i'm about to meet up with the volumes because he's gonna help me leave my permanent mock on the streets of joe, that the, a bombs. or are you good to tell me back as thoughts when is it is done so you might have to get on this one is a very nice spot for i want you to teach reaction to the use of race and company. you just me, i guess, and i teach i use it's kind of as while. yeah, that'll just be one line of people nowadays. random all comes out. okay. so

basically in the resort, oh my gosh. i never thought 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 20 piece of legs because that's of creativity is all about collaboration. this is indeed w's r. c. i forget bringing you johanna is the most vibrant, odd. see the,
