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 southern or heady and she was born in iran and is now a professor in britain and this is a work of anti representation she simplified her name. deconstructing what is it with this 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 of the up demand of form deficit into cuts. that's hard as you to have a man is not a pseudonym plus an adaptation. so i don't see what. the artist produced videos for the be another but depict are journeys to migrant processing centers in germany centers have been called anchor centers anchor here is a euphemism for rival decision rick. burn. centers service holding camps until

spot and cross all dams hold back water and the accumulation of pressure forms energy. daily in an arch against the pressure that they are expecting but if the pressure is too high or miscalculate his best. it's a simple image to illustrate some german people's fear of being inundated with 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 whistle sounds screech from the speakers the soundtrack of protests. message clearly received time to move on. these spaces are

meant to be for all races you know for all tribes for all communities that dare to speak the truth because it's my shelley that. this statement could well be the motor for this year's b. and. the dominance of the west is over in venice 2 artists from the global south especially from asia and africa are represented this year as never 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 much presentation at museums around the

world so i think that it's about time it's we and. your asia specifically the spaces and also to take ownership of our voices to take ownership of our plec archives we write our own narrative is visual narratives are really important and also for us to say that's we are proud of as black people. proud and joyful this was one of the great emotional moments of those he has been on the so far ghana celebrated its 1st national pavilion in venice an exhibition that has 120 years old the country's 1st lady came to the inauguration as a top british architect today with a j that's going in roots and who designed the trevelyan. this president wants to ensure that the gods are central to the development of a country central to tourism so total soft. 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 to really make it very large state with. just designed plays on good main building traditions creating an intimate space for the sensitive portraits by painter the net your dog and watching. the. bunch of photos by felicity upon government's 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 ghana's 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 nic if it is that what he got in the pan and what does it mean now how

you know how does that freedom grow or not grab. what does it mean for us to be free. 6 artists from different generations offer their viewpoints on these questions. join a conference video installation was commissioned especially it's about migration climate change and trust and environments. the works will be displayed in ghana's capital city across after the beginning and 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 relevance and what resonance that they actually have within the country not just in our ground i mean and in the kind of sadness where people you know maybe estatic large galleries but in communities across the. this

is very much part of this press asked. thousands of kilometers line between ghana and india but only a few meters separate that type of aliens. the world's biggest democracy is being represented in venice for only the 2nd time the government at the theme of the pavilion pays tribute to a national icon mahatma gandhi this year is the 150th anniversary of his birth. every time measured times of places of despair we do look up to gandhi so the idea was to really look at these artists and how their lewd to all very subtly walk him through his ideas and pronounce values of either p.s. nonviolence passive or the minimal consumption ecological concerns and so on. in 1039 mahatma gandhi wrote his 1st letter to as of hitler addressing him as dear friend. just as khaled has decided to protect the original manuscript onto

a smokescreen gandhi's 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 a reflection of your own position and how you might see in the world your own gestures and actions. container kulkarni 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 our moment for protection for the female body but the mechanism is such that when you are 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 in the body is trapped in a way so i'm talking of both the things the notion of protection and the motion of being trapped. what does it mean to be a woman in a patriarchal society be our sister self or the i am a 5 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 and pop i'm focusing it's a scene of the tracks 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 very less access to things that. a white or more privileged class colonial class of people in the north east have access to so there's a feeling of. collectivity and they space where they get together they recognize each other they understand that they belong to a certain form of existence and that is mainly for me a very very beautiful form of resistance despite the public power i mean the state the power. moreas fighting for self-assertion. there is no hierarchy regarding gender abuse models just as. incredible amount of energy.

this is be analogy with some pretty serious topics but also in a very left field and colorful way. shaggy and fairy this could be chewbacca seen from inside. and here she comes. out. and out of nailed it also known as shoppy short for shoplifter alias. the breakthrough had to villian leads from the darkness to the end of the rainbow. into the sky. the material hair extensions from china as cheap and as many as possible. it's like a place they can't just nest and be embraced by almost
