try to get all of that come straight from the heart to see you but when there is no more delusional. from you for the right to their final resting place the russians g.w. documentary. this is the news africa coming up on the program. with a message to the world south african skull top to lead is using his work to remind all of us to protect the environment or face the consequences. because we have to see. the world this. you know if. it is the country. stay with us to hear from the artist himself. also coming out it's 20 years since eric was somebody from i could say our guinea amazed at the

sydney olympics being a theme as the slowest olympic swimmer. i . you're welcome to the program why are we facing so many natural disasters how auctions on the environment contributed to the questions difficult to answer but not for 78 year old south african poet and sculptor. he's using his extraordinary sculptures makes with some spirituality to help protect the environment his artwork made from animal bones is meant to encourage society to fight against actions that damage nature and the environment. this is not unusual and it also has some. yes it's

a 78 year old south african sculptor professor and poet peter cantu really created $45.00. he called the exhibition i was really a mess isn't any in the local language translated into english this means return to the sauce for the to sing 7 never seemed more urgent. or we have to prepare ourselves for more kind of pandemics simply because we have disrespected nature we have grounded nature with plastic always sleeps everything and not carry so the whole issues of cleave the issues of. the other ones that are really led us to where we are now and yet as an african people our poll reps and everything else tells us about how we must. cully. the artist has been working for more than 40 years use material he scavenge is fun

scrape yet off with bare bones as he's done over the last 3 years by creating this coronavirus restrictions mean the public has not yet been able to see the artworks but every sculpture can be viewed virtually together with supplementary audio that truly recorded specially for each piece. what this exhibition has done it's challenge what curating is because for a long time we all think with creating has been traditional has been going to space and seen art to its citrus and particular these brains had to challenge the art and the art industry even how we speak of art and how art speaks to us critic and tool is an expert on african indigenous knowledge systems. 'd

down the bones. in order to divine the stage of the nation in this state of the universe this beautiful environment this did to her own mental health as to what exactly happened let's for every visitor to decide by himself whether looking at the sky only. physically during a planned 2 of the exhibition through several cells african museums scheduled for 2021. years artist to lead joins us from johannesburg south africa and thanks for your time so your artwork is warning humans to return to the source or be faced with more pandemics now that sounds a bit scary what and how do you mean. and what i mean is there we need to reach serious human beings treat. whoever we reported to nature or with our hunting. in numerous 'd in

keeping them honest in the leave work for industry in the meanwhile for in a vocalist so you know that we really are and can create really serious. imbalance. you imagine yourself. killing animals and using them your many years bones for your artwork how do you get hold of your bones so what happens is that i meet every year here. in my restaurant. riches when the bones have been eaten there's no flesh remaining then you can then go to the it in nature is there in asking or tell you whichever of those. you know was this yes then the next the what you have to do is to come up with a parable incense or 2 or the ancestors in order to

a piece of gear the spirits are there any months that you are taking and explain it only to those spirits what you are going to use those. bones for in order to present them again protect them against their. gaze to miss a fiery in a torah zeal in order to handle to attain that ideal that those particular animals themselves would have loved about that sounds are quite deep but how exactly is your artwork helping people to take proper care of the environment. so what happened is that a little bit for bones had we sent didn't p.h.s. all the of them. that people rather this be a retrial in summer that is thinking 18 of the. brissie. units in land on. or in

a also in land our lead in. the yvonne childish as in pua you know. is will look a model in all our you know musicians and think us and call if we give them each a a no these that pulls them out really extra them and they compose forums and you can post songs and if you can imagine then 63 sons and colonists. forecasting on the environment from the people that the people are low in la you can look at it if you misstatement you know and it seems now you mention how africa has lost its way from ecological balance how did that happen. it would have been that i mean colonialism. is all about day in the process you know gaining you know the resources of converting people to think play them so that people forget now in our cultures it's better for them to be better for us to be you know you

know to be controlled so what happens therefore is that. we give the full quote in who we are it becomes so much other people's alethia where you have to go in a trade bomb you don't count the umbilical cord you wait until red or a beautiful quote drops in a way drops you plant a tree to link the child in a to leave the child with the environment where they are and then to pick up the totem and for it is there's the master of the how you know and also the lumber in a snake so what is it with leadership with any mothers any relationship with a chat you know their balance. is a certainty ok if my mate is there. therefore i would have to protect the hey you know no one it's where do i take it. if yours is a sheep literally to protect the sheep so there are those countries there's.

everything is protected to a neurological balance ok now you're almost 18 yes what's your motivation to keep going strong. i want to vision for clean air in the songs of veteran who was a lot. i love you too i love this at least. but i have political meet me that is when i was brought up there were older people who to me adopted lead a mentor me and help me to be who i am i am motivated because they are going to see down me and mentor and number of other people who has the intellect they do even those who don't think that they do so either get handed to the lead they do so that there or thought it's a hippie creative you know world ok it began to me scots are from johannesburg south africa many thanks for your time.

now was of you may remember him cause he gave all he could on the public loves him about 20 years ago erica for material guinea swam the 100 meter freestyle during the sydney olympics after the competitors have been disqualified for a false start he had to swim the entire distance alone in that gigantic ball he really struggled to get to the last 15 metres done but that sharing of the public spread him on he finally touched the end of the pool after one minute 52 seconds and $72.00 hundreds of a 2nd that's more than twice the time of the gold medalist that and him the credit of being the slowest olympic swimmer on the nickname eric. while his style remains a little bit different to other professional swimmers and his training conditions aren't any better than 2 years ago he still inspired by the olympic spirit.

was a money shot to world theme as a result of his achievement 20 years later he's been reflecting on his unlikely stardom in sydney. since after finishing the swim on a personal level i really felt grateful i got to feel like i had at least represented my country and i had completed the 100 metres that was something i had never achieved before. i believe that in life when you have a goal to do something you have to keep pushing yourself to do it you have to keep going to keep fighting because sutcliffe i said effort this is how you get what you want. moral of the story is to never give up and that's where we draw the curtains on this show thanks for sharing your time with us you can visit our website dot com slash africa stories. on facebook and twitter we need you with more

welcome to arts and culture german artist joe hart says he's completed the last major project of his life and if that's true it is a pretty grand farewell the 88 year old whose works rank among the most valuable in contemporary art donated a new set of abstract stained glass windows to germany's oldest abbey. it's a monumental gift of in estimable value light shines through an original work by care hard to ishtar abstract art gothic church architecture but it's not a biblical scene which is depicted. i think it's incredibly important we don't give in to the temptation to depict god as an old man with a bushy beard and white hair. when gary hart was asked to create the

windows he agreed immediately. the artist was not present at the opening but let it be known he is very happy with the result the artwork is based on an abstract painting from 1990 which richter processed digitally. split it up on the computer and mirrored it then mirrored the image over and over again here in the middle we have the progression he used as a model for the total i have been. told i could be. turning into glass is a process of translation from canvas into a very special material the windows were created here in the studios of the whole class or have found 3 in munich various techniques were used

details from the canvas version have. very different effect. because we have lights a canvas image isn't backlit with glass you have a situation with different lighting conditions morning afternoon evening with the sun shining through. ready designed a church window in 2007 he made one for the cologne cathedral now there's a counterpart in total despite the fact that richter actually left the church. as this promise of eternity being present for centuries in a church it's a different appeal than having pictures in a museum. germany's oldest abbey in the small village of total is now also a place of pilgrimage for lovers. and from one of the best

known names in art to an artist whose real name remains unknown and it looks like for once banksy is anonymity is working against him the european union's trademark office has thrown out banks his application to register this mural of a protester throwing flowers they said if the artist wants to stop merchandisers from copying his motif he'll have to use copyright law like other artists banks he's avoided copyright lawsuits because they would require him to reveal his identity he's even said copyright is for losers. because in 1000 pandemic and the economic crunch are forcing fashion houses to get even more creative burberry has already switched some of its production from trench coats to protective medical wear and now for the london fashion week the british label took to the countryside trading in their traditional runway for forest trails and an

online audience designer ricardo to shoot live streams in st where heavy spring summer collection and a show choreographed by acclaimed performance artist. and another designer at london fashion week isn't doing any kind of runway at all not even a hike through the woods but gareth pugh is showing his new collection at christie's auction house it's a multimedia exhibition combining fashion music and film she has been called an architect and sculptor of fashion even before we meet a fashion here he is in his own words. you'd like to see challenge that with things that don't we don't necessarily like to see down the soviets in the us so the stakes so it's kind of like. doing

something in a in a in an that for months then just to stand it fashion show which i sometimes equate to a tennis match of open and it's you know we need to evolve from nothing basically with the connection with we've been a very small collection it's 13 looks that we've had with 13 different trucks kind of like a visual album. so so yeah i mean it was it was super nice to be back at the stage after the down and i realized you know working from home doesn't quite cut it so being back at the studio and happens and focus on this really important i made a little model and i started making this model in the studio just before we cause the studio down after the lockdown. well it was. it was structural. tile voted it's no animal you know that the

genesis of the idea was to create something slaughters on a pint you know we will look in bach at the mystics all we have made and i'm not just talking about one thing in particular brought think the time of reckoning for everybody where you're looking bach to walk has gone before and you're looking forwards to a time when those wrongs can be made right. this year it's been so incredibly tumultuous there's been so many things going on whether it's a protest in hong kong whether it's been monuments been torn down whether it's a pandemic it's an election year in america it's just it feels like the plates of the earth kind of shifting and nobody really knows where it's going to end so yeah this project i guess is a reaction to having enough going on around us and it's hope so they are going to leave people with a sense of hope and optimism. because we all need to bed. now
