face humanity. our planet. and on our series planet berlin how a man born in turkey wound up running one of the german capitals premier jazz clubs . but 1st off the venice piano is often called the olympics of the art world it's where people go to see the best of the best from around the globe also the weirdest we're. this year's top prize goes to the lithuanian pavilion for this installation called the sun and the sea it's about climate change but the piano is also expanding inside well beyond europe more than ever before non-western artists are telling their own stories. and interviews scott rocks for is here to tell us more about that scot welcome to the show so for its 120 year history of the venice biennale it has basically been a celebration of western art it's not been very diverse how are they going to

change that yeah i mean it's a big big issue i mean one of the artists with black artists a few black artists who were at the b. and all of this year called it a sea of whiteness and i think that is accurate. but and this real problem because the idea of the bee and ali is that countries come and present their ideas of themselves through their artists show what how they see themselves as a nation and so if you're not there if you're not represented it's sort of like going to the art world you don't really exist but this year it's a little bit better of the trying to address the issue of diversity and they put a focus on non-western artists and on the western countries particularly african countries though this year there are still just 8 african countries with the billions of the band all of which is not just a great interest to start it's a start it's a start and there are some interesting ones i mean gonna for the 1st time has it's all 1000000000 at the b. analysis for the very 1st time they're able to present their image of themselves

and their culture in the way they would like it to be seen so well let's have a look. the opening of dawn as 1st ever pavilion at this year's b.l.o. was a cause for celebration and national pride the country nearly 60 years old was eager to present its homegrown artists to the world the country's 1st lady came to the you know gratian as did top british architect david addington who has been and roots and to design the pavilion. this president wants to ensure about the so central to the development of a country central to tourism central to the soft part of the country and communicating to the world the kind of incredible benevolence of a country and its people so that's why we're here and also a small pavilion but a very large video making a very large statement. i g.'s designed plays on guy named building traditions creating a intimate space for the sensitive portraits by painter lynette. and

for photos by felicia gunness 1st professional female photographer she started taking pictures at the age of 14 and captured political developments and got a witch in 1957 was one of the 1st african countries to gain independence from britain that narrative informs gone as 1st pavilion which is entitled dawn of freedom and such a powerful statement we have read you know what does that freedom mean what did it mean that in 957 when he climbed the pan then what does it mean now how you know how is that freedom grow. what does it mean for us to be free. since artists from different generations address these questions each in their own way. john video installation was commissioned especially for the pavilion it's

about migration climate change. and threatened environments. after the bee and all of the works will be displayed in gone as capital city across to be accompanied by a series of debates around the gone to freedom project. as ohio well coming to venice you know with the well heeled crowd and doing something like this the relevance and what resonance that they actually have within the country and not just. in the kind of sound lab people you know maybe tend to lag kind of ways but in communities across the country so this is very much a part of this process. it's pretty inspiring stuff scott i'm just wondering how is it gonna say going at this differently to european countries it's interesting it's actually kind of refreshing because the sort of image of the r. and the country that comes of gone as 1000000000 is very upbeat very positive it

shows how credible creative inspiring the country is all the european pavilions focus on the on the negative they're very depressing but very sort of downbeat maybe gonna will get there eventually maybe they'll get depressed that there are but the moment it looks like there are much more inspiring than a lot of stuff to give you what will give them some time saved to catch up to know who else caught your eye and be on all the other all of the interesting sort of marginal voices maybe would say what was really interesting was from south africa south africa photographer and activist nelly wholly a she does a series of self portraits which show herself in various african dress and it's a way of sort of subverting stereotypes of africa and african women and she told us that using these images this way as a way of taking back control of her own story and another own image is another just course it's not always and beautiful beautiful photography one other one that really caught my eye was from brazil and it was look at the dance scene a sort of alternative dance scene in northeastern brazil called swing guera and

this is a really compelling i mean i know you're into dance i'm also a very very. now artists and entrepreneurs from around the world have completely researched this city berlin and our ongoing series planet berlin we've been meeting the business owners who add their international flair to the german capital today we're meeting turkish born jazz club owner said i'll start on. a different band takes the stage most ny city. the berlin jazz club is known for

its intimate atmosphere there's room for only around $200.00. 80 train is an institution in the german capital and sit outside on has run the jazz club since 1997. he's proud that some of the biggest names in jazz have performed here like american pianist herbie hancock for example. musicians like herbie hancock and marcus miller who performed here do it as a one off thing. they do it to support this club. that was the idea behind it at the time. they were once young and unknown to where did they get their start where did they hone their craft. in clumps. german jazz trumpeter till donna is a regular at

a train his career began here and he's still good friends with sadat going to stop spy whenever he can. just the opposite just as a something special a breed unto themselves. because if they're no good they just appear right away and no one talks about the president's been doing this well over 20 years so he must have been doing something right. because he must. say downside on came to berlin when he was 12 but he only fell in love with jazz much later on a trip to his homeland turkey. now he's put down roots in berlin district where many artists and musicians live. down ensures that the musicians feel at home a train both on stage and off. he also looks after his guests making sure

s. with a photo repertory about workers at brazil's set up a lot a gold mine the images show the people like ants mining the or by hand driven by the global greed for gold. has captured misery in the world like few others he's visited crisis regions such as ethiopia he bore witness to starvation civil war and the plight of people fleeing for their lives he's gone to places where atrocities have occurred including the former yugoslavia he went to refugee camps in bosnia to show muslim families who escaped ethnic cleansing in 2014 salgado his photos and biography made it to the silver screen in a documentary by german director and friend. me as well especially fascinated me was that he knows so much about any situation he's getting into. and that he gets into it so deeply. that he's not a tourist not a visitor this is not someone who just drops in. he remains in the situation

for weeks and months. and he knows the people and that's why he's earned the right to tell their story. condemned to death. in the film salgado says that at some point he couldn't stand witnessing the pain of others anymore his soul became sick. in an attempt to heal in 2004 so gado started the genesis project he spent 8 years travelling around the world photographing landscapes indigenous peoples and wildlife he focused not on suffering but on learning from nature. my hope is that. we just saw we've had this incredible information that will have to be this incredible conscious fog of the optical illusion that we must to protect the spots that this pictures we've been not archaeology we be just
