a main character who is black the movie soul deals with the big topics of life and death. just honestly it's the story of a music teacher whose soul is separated from his body. so far as your. picks are hired its 1st black director and consulted with numerous african-american organizations to make sure the portrayal felt real and not stereotyped so is the 4th ever american animated film with black leads. better late than never well another under represented group is getting its dues older women spanish street artist. paints real people he knows his hero ends it calls them super grandmas. and they have super powers are carried by the way like mary poppins. or juggle with war and heavy pumpkins grandma's

superheroes. these murals are the work of spanish artist shows about your concept here based on real grandmas from the countryside in his artwork joseph combines fantasy and reality one of them about so now that. i'm fascinated by these women by their extraordinary strength and their ability to bring it can keep together family i also have a personal relationship with each of them i get to know them before and during the payment process and every new subject i get to learn about another person's life that it's fascinating on the more they're going to be in the know as me that. may. impede as this artist name goes grandma's from his native clichy north question spank these women had to work hard to provide for their families. and i look at me

and i miss our. telling stories and that's also what i want to do one song both an artist and a narrator at the same time. is about alonzo because one of his news is she does a little deletion town veron and is the protagonist of his latest art project. hello what are you doing up there. oh my god. it's mary i really like it a lot. i'm better looking in the mural than in real life is really. the. this a balance it all began from work at an early age she was 15 or mother died and she had to take care of 5 siblings she worked in the fields all her life. i was always busy doing something when you're working in the fields you still need

to keep an eye on household chores if only there had been a gas heater are washing dishes but they didn't exist back then. isabel transfer is the 16th grandmother to have been painted by joseph and he created his 1st large scale superhero grandma back in 2016 this mural on town of junior glacier shows how to be expert. and it. is a strong performer. as photos of these murals travelled the world became an inspiration for younger generations who started sharing photos of themselves on social media just as the grandma's. going. back in there and he was a bought in piece and your host can reach up to 50 metres in height and take about 6 weeks to complete before he starts working on a new project he 1st gets to know the grandma and her family.

where's my boat if you know what i think these murals are one of them are going to be because they give recognition to all these women who have worked so hard their entire lives on the to this day and they haven't really been they have now as you know yes we're going to run out of at the end and now that i'm all of this near oh ok the whole family is just so proud for you i mean yeah. really after having met the protagonist of a painting several times you know it was about m.p. source by doing a photo shoot she's grandma's equipped with a superpower that matches her life story and they're all painted in comic stop. and out the on the generation going in the seventy's and eighty's let me grew up with science fiction and comics so it's really fun times elements from those 4 nights and combine it with the grandmas this. even young children can immediately spot what superpower is grandma possesses but i'm out of gaza but all that know.

now more and more towns is asking joseph in peace to come and pay $1.00 of his large scale murals there of the superhero grandmamma's. one of the biggest surprises of 2020 has been how many older people have gotten active on social media even on the video platform take tuck which used to be just for teenagers. i'm going. to go right even though 82 year old actor anthony hopkins has been getting down on to talk showing off his moves and painting and he's not alone she loves another celebrity also outside target age group of 13 to $24.00 but she is called so and so the trend . and you're hungry to go to is the head of social media for d.w.i.

culture and lifestyle department. what is it about take talk that made it these social media trying to 2020 yes david i think it actually has a lot to do with cope with and the lockdown because we had all these people family stuck in that home with a lot of time on their hands and you know anti-family is a start at making talk and even going viral on the app and you know i mean the taguba still is the bad we saw that you know there's no age limit to take tough and you run kind of find this space and i think that's because of the books on facebook and so on we watch you know videos from people we follow sebago collins get a lot of us but don't take talk it doesn't work that way you know anybody can go by around and you know the grandma sitting in her living room she has only 10 followers maybe on to talk about she has a great idea makes a great video and form you know she can get 10000000 views if you say this all happened so quickly with tech talk this year and now suddenly even serious

broadcasters like d. w. have ticked our channels you actually started 1st to talk to and all berlin fresh and within just a few months you've got millions of views over $50000.00 subscribers followers what's the secret what does it take to make it on tech talk well basically with bone and fresh we want to show people a fresh cool look european college and lifestyle and one of the things that did surprise us we actually sparked a lot of debates so we had these people. you know discussing and debating i know article talks in the comments section and sharing their life and their views and that was like really wonderful to see so i think i also learnt the tick-tock use that it's very different from the instagram user they ask a lot of critical questions really they would always ask us with your number from what's your source and so i feel like there's this huge hunger for information on the app and you know the secret of course you do have to keep up with viral sounds

viral challenges and then you know you have to put in your own spin on it and sort of a culture is to carving an impact on the arts or it has a huge impact on the arts i mean you know we saw that even museums are starting their own technical college and really quite successful and then we have to like really struggling young artists who normally you know what get their songs out and suddenly they go viral have a hit on tick tock and record labels start offering their them like these $1000000.00 record deals so record companies are even scouting on tick-tock for talent and but also like you said you know drake j. lo big performers are also using to talk to talk to push their songs up in their child so that really tells the world and their works because people it is my understanding right that people don't want to dance to these songs and the more people who dance to the songs the more the song goes around yeah so we had this like everybody's hearing now fleetwood mac the green song and why is that's

a public popular right now it's from the seventy's it hit the charts again because that was actually a tick tock challenge saw lots of us starting started to make their own videos to the solid and so it got pushed back them in the charts so when i told my radio on i always go like yep that's the tick tock sound that's the tick tock phone so for many many songs we hear are started on tick tock so not only do things things are so different now you hear this song i want to talk 1st and then on the radio you're going to it's a weird world removing and then some words. thank you and speaking of tick talk and music there's some music news to end our show the song dance monkey it by australian singer tones and i was a huge take stock hit now it's the 1st song by a woman to get more than 2000000000 hits on spotify here she is in disguise in the music video for me ana and me both thanks for watching thea next time.
