a loop station sultana was soon able to recreate the sound of a full band without one person show approach they released their 1st album flow state in 2018 followed by concerts around the world. my and my life was to play as many instruments as possibly can and there's nothing special about it anyone is completely capable of it if you are hungry to get it. over the years tash sultana has further developed musically and loves their artistic autonomy resulting sound is a collector defying the usual categories. i am not a genre best artist i just i just like me as
10:48 pm
a person i just am me and i just do me and that's just what i do in a musical sense as well is whatever comes into my brain it's just a collection of slack where. tash sultana also rejects gender labels identifying as neither male nor female for them being non-binary means not seeing the world in black and white but recognizing all its diversity and complexity and the bracing the freedom that comes with that i can't control what others want to think and feel i can't and you can as well because if we start caring about what other people think in what other people feel and where they put us less you just get sorry it's just such an anything going all the time i just make my art and i. there's an international tour planned for 2021 but as with so much these days it's

10:50 pm
a beautiful if unlikely spot for a museum. the museum is well placed here in tashkent to tell the story of jewish german immigrants but unfortunately it now has to move a fact the curator is herself a german speaking immigrant thank you. for the early 1930 s. on increasing numbers of jews fleeing nazi persecution left germany and headed for the promised land for the newcomers soon found they were an wanted. man had against and they were ridiculed and laughed at their behavior their punctuality their neatness it was all very strange and yet code was an insult and seemed for probably referred to the newcomers habit of wearing inappropriate suits those who could drop their possessions with them like auto maya one of the founders of the city of nahariya who fled germany to find himself in this hot rocky landscape wearing a suit jacket is what then that nicholas word yes probably came from the short
10:51 pm
jackets that the german jews wore the the polish and eastern european jews were long kaftans and much longer coats. i mean. most arrivals to the area were assigned a corrugated metal hut to live in this one used to be number 2 vitamin street hooty off work has kept the heart in its original form the new life here was a tough one especially for those more used to working with their heads and their hands. see how long. they also got a piece of land and sometimes some chickens dr flits wife who was also a lawyer said to me once that when he got his chickens he didn't know which end the eggs came out of or any of the 4 meaning. the newcomers presence soon began to have an impact on the wider community german art and design became popular setting the tone for the young israeli society. the stockman people had
10:52 pm
never seen graphic design like this the style is very very german words. the heck is also did well when it came to business and science but good and hina could only be quoted in private here the language of the nazi perpetrators was frowned upon let me have somebody speak i was always told for example you should only speak german quietly you don't want people to know you speak it. this friction meant that many ecus were not able to assimilate. the ethic in the 1st generation didn't really find their way it didn't work out for them they just stayed within their own culture and they were proud of both of the. effect hopes to move the museum to the city of haifa it's a tall order and she's still looking for sponsors but he echoes never give up. now the use of gold leaf in paintings decorative arts and architecture dates back thousands of years but it's becoming increasingly harder to find hand between gold
10:53 pm
leaf in today's day and age and that's because it's a fading craft for example in venice in 1700 there were 300 so-called gold beaches today however there's just one family dedicated to this ancient tradition. much of what glitters here is indeed gold. for centuries venice has flaunted its wealth with this precious metal. now there are very few workshops left that work gold by hand. one of the world's last gold beating shops is run by the medical officer family under the name madill bathtub but a lot of. the purest $24.00 carat gold is melted at more than $1000.00 degrees celcius and cast as a small bar which by itself has a value of about $6000.00 euro so. ludicrous
10:54 pm
still a little gold bar is about 120 grams depending on the thickness required at the gold leaf we can make 80026000 pieces from a thing you know for your. first the gold is passed several times through a rolling mill which presses it thinner each time. it's rolled into a long ribbon heated over and over and put through the mill again. this word of. the colors nice and yellow you know the gold is pure. jungle the hue tends towards a reddish you know it's an alloy. it might then contain silver or a little copper or the d.v.d. . when the gold ribbon is several metres long it's cut into lengths folded and cut again into little squares sort of minute out so lays these between

sheets of parchment to separate them during the beating. a packet consists of 331st they're beaten with a machine and then quartered once more and then they're worked with a hammer when i may so they offer to muck about with obama. the final step is the hammering this is how gold leaf was made in venice a 1000 years ago at that time there were no machines to help with the heavy work. grease them or their hammer ways to kilos almost nothing worse than what this one weighs 4 kilos so it's a bit heavier but for me that's nothing at kilos well this one's pretty heavy. the hammering produces thousands of these gossamer leaves a single leaf weighs barely as much as a human hair does the specialized handicraft is in danger of dying out there is
10:56 pm
still a demand for. art restorer and builder and he's about to my song uses a great deal of my audio about her but a lot of gold leaf in her workshop. it takes a steady hand of the right conditions to work with this delicate material even a gentle breeze could ruin everything yet the handmade leaf is still less fragile than industrially produced gold leaf. the angel atop st mark's company layer is among the works restored using gold leaf from audio data but a lot thanks to an age old handicraft queen of the adriatic shines on. finally will play out today with a song from the legendary brazilian musician gere bet those is who with the photographer gado is supporting a reforestation project to plant 1000000 trees in his country every year good luck to them this is a song called reflow rest stop in support of the efforts. by
