6:14 am
then you know we get. no fish is into the unconscious and discovers the state of the world magnificent but where should we go now after all this strangeness welcome we expect at the judgment of alien. wanted to do something completely different with her head hidden the artist representing germany can't talk right now and has her own spokeswoman. marking. the artist's real name is no touch of sather head here she was born in iran and is now a professor in the brain and this is a work of anti representation she simplified her name. to constrain what is the
6:15 am
measure of conformity the artist wanted to confront the challenge of curating the german trevelyan in venice and the optimal form for doing this is integration the optimized for it if. that's hard as you to help man is not a pseudonym plus an adaptation. so i don't see what. the artist produced videos for the be another depict or journeys to migrant processing centers in germany or centers have been called anchor centers anchor here is a euphemism for arrival decision return. to center service holding camps until people are deported or choose to go back to their countries of origin voluntarily. in pulliam in italy the artist visited the spot where migrant harvest helpers were killed in a road accident hugh. not just as you don't have them and also i chose the task as

you to happen man because she inspires me very much with her significance mcnish seen the way she works with different all it forms different forms of knowledge and has successful transitions between music installations and the different sensual impressions that are in polish it come. like at the french her value in here to the front entrance is closed. but inside there are rocks and a dam that reaches to the ceiling it's powerful but permeable. it's a bad spot and right sample dabs hold back water and the accumulation of pressure forms energy. in an arch against the pressure that they are expecting but if the pressure is too high or miscalculated and they burst. it's a simple image to illustrate some german people's fear of being inundated with
6:17 am
migrants. it doesn't seem as if this wall will hold for very long the other side reveals the simplicity of the installation. the structure is made of wood and cardboard with screech from the speakers the soundtrack of protests. message clearly received time to move on. to spaces that meant to be for all races you know for all tribes for all communities to speak the truth because it's much to me that. this statement could well be the most high for this year's be and. the dominance of the west is over and that is to us from the global south especially from asia and africa are represented this year. never
6:18 am
before. impossible to miss magnificent self portraits by the south african photographer and activist. who exposed various roles. her gaze is seeking. questioning. demanding. we don't have my church presentation at museums around the world so i think that it's about time between. your asia specifically the spaces and also to take ownership of our voices to take ownership of our plec i kaif's we write our own narrative is visual narratives are very important and also for us to say that we are proud of who we are as black people. proud and joyful

this was one of the great emotional moments of this he has been on a surf on ghana celebrated its 1st national pavilion in venice an exhibition that is 120 years old the country's 1st lady came to the inauguration as a top british architect today with a j. that's canadian roots and who designed the pavilion. as president wants to ensure that the gods are central to the development of a country central to tourism so total soft part of the country and communicating to the world because of incredible benevolence of a country and its people so that's why we're here and not a small pavilion but a very large privilege making a very large statement. i just designed plays on canadian building traditions creating an intimate space for the sensitive portraits by painter the net your dog watching.
6:20 am
answer 1st is by felicity up on this 1st professional female photographer she started taking pictures at the age of 14 and captured the political developments in ghana which in $157.00 was one of the 1st african countries to gain independence from britain and that narrative informs goannas 1st pavilion which is untitled gun of freedom. and such a powerful statement we have read you know what does that freedom mean what did it mean that in 1000 fifties that when he got on the pan then what does it mean now how you know how has that freedom grown or not granted what does it mean for us to be free. 6 artists from different generations offer their viewpoints on these questions. john a conference video installation was commissioned especially it's about migration climate change and trust environments. the works will be displayed in gone
6:21 am
as capital city opera after the begin on the island will be accompanied by a series of debates around the gonna freedom project. it's all very well coming to venice you know with the well heeled crowd and doing something like this but what the relevance of what resonance that they actually have within the country not just in our ground i mean and in the kind of sounds where people you know maybe east west galleries but in communities across the country this is very much part of this process. thousands of kilometers running between ghana and india but only a few meters separate that type of indians the world's biggest democracy is being represented in venice for only the 2nd time the government set the theme the pavilion pays tribute to a national icon mahatma gandhi this year is the 150th anniversary of his. but.
6:22 am
every time every time some places understand we do look up to gandhi so the idea was to really look at these artists and how they're lewd to all very subtly you walk him through his ideas and pronounce values of either p.s. nonviolence passive resistance many milken's option ecological concerns and so on. in 1039 mahatma gandhi wrote his 1st letter to as of hitler addressing him as dear friend. just as color it has decided to project the original manuscript onto a smokescreen than a failed attempt to prevent a war 5 weeks before germany marched into poland remains very moving today. the center of the work is really the viewer who 1st reads the message in 1st person because it as is their friend friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity and i think it's a moment
6:23 am
a reflection of your own position and how you made it in the world for your own gestures and actions. for sure container cook county to gandhi is a point of reference she explores violence in public space sexual violence india is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women. the artist's works are wearable. so this is are more for protection for the female body but the mccann ism is such that when you're wearing it you can move too easily you know the hands move in a particular way the head moves in a particular way so you're trapped the body is trapped in a way is so i'm talking of what the things the notion of protection and the motion of being trapped. what does it mean to be a woman in a patriarchal society the artist herself or the arm of i have performances to do this in the middle of mumbai was courageous.

it's getting loud here in the brazilian pavilion. partly fictional documentary that follows the rehearsals for us when garrick competition this subculture combines folklore of pop and vogue it's a scene that attracts that involves the l.g. b.t.i. community and young people from the outskirts of brazil's big cities. there are poor people from the favelas a socially speaking people who have very well less access to things of. a white or more privileged class colonial class of people in the north east have
6:25 am
access to so there's a feeling of. collectivity and they space where they get together they recognise each other they understand that they belong to a certain form of x. this is and and that is mainly for me a very very beautiful form of resistance despite the public power i mean the estates of power. moreas fighting for self-assertion. there is no hierarchy regarding gender abuse the models just an incredible amount of energy. was good. this has been a knowledge eels with some pretty serious topics but also in a very left field and colorful way. shoghi and fairy and this could be chewbacca seen from inside. and here she
