and we visit the last surviving family business in venice making gold leaf. bots we begin with the australian musician a multi instrumentalist with a bag full of talent who came to the world's attention value to time superstar the 1st single jungle having gone to nearly 100000000 clicks on you choose tasha's non-binary and wants to be referred to as they however are not to be confused it's just one person producing this music and playing all the instruments. i. i. i. i. am a living room out into the wide world tash whole town a song jungle is a viral hit. i write that song when i was fresh out

of high school i was 18 years old. cash full time is videos of busking in downtown melbourne and bedroom performances have been watched by millions of people. in the fact that it's turned into this big. thing where it's like a korea and it's proper and it's real it's just not because i wanted to do was just. music has always been a vital part of the 25 year old's life. i just came out as a crazy. my parents would say that i would just pick up anything in the search of an instrument so tonic got their 1st guitar at the age of 30 from their grandfather then school they used a fake id to. perform in the bars and clubs in melbourne using

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 wife used 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

a person i just am made 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 whole town are 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 caught and you can as well because if we start caring about what other people think and what other people feel and where they put us like you just get sorry it's just such a heavy feeling 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 not

clear whether that will happen. let's be honest it's looking pretty grim and. it's looking a little bit di our little secret but you know what if i can't get in there i can't get in and work i'll be ready and when i go into or again i will never ever say that i want to harm. ever. so for now tash sultan i will keep making music while waiting for a return to normality. when the state of israel was created back in may 1948 it welcomed jews from all over the world including german speaking jews 1st they were parts not so well received but gradually integrated into society their bringing their own skills and culture today these are celebrated in the german speaking jewelry heritage museum also known colloquially as the yak is newsy . the mountainous landscape of galilee makes for

a beautiful if unlikely spot for a museum. the museum is well placed here in tatton to tell the story of jewish german immigrants but unfortunately it now has to move off fact the curator is herself a german speaking immigrant. from the early 1930 s. on increasing numbers of jews flee nazi persecution left germany and headed for the promised land but the newcomers soon found they were unwanted by men have to get and for 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 a probably referred to the newcomers habit of wearing inappropriate suits those who could drop their possessions with them like otto 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 make this word. and yes probably came from the

short jackets that the german jews wore on the polish and the eastern european jews were long kaftans and much longer coats. most arrivals to the area were assigned a corrugated metal hut to live in this one used to be number 2 vitamins st. he offered 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 than their hands. see how long stick land because 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 family in. the newcomers present soon began to have an impact on the wider community german art and design became popular setting the tone for the young israeli society. people had

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 couldn't hina could only be coded in private here the language of the nazi perpetrators was frowned upon and had mutambara 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 actors 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. booty 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 ops in architecture dates back thousands of years but it's becoming increasingly harder to find hand between gold

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 pieces today however as 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 beaten shops is run by the minute after so family under the name audio data 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 euros. a

lot of crystal a little gold bar is about 120 grams depending on the thickness required of the gold leaf we can make 80026000 pieces from it and you know for your. first the gold is passed several times through a rolling mill which press isn't thinner each time. it's rolled into a long ribbon heated over and over. and put through the mill again. the colors nice and yellow you know the gold is pure. 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. there. when the gold ribbon is several metres long it's cut into lengths folded and cut again into little squares south america out so lays these between

sheets of parchment to separate them during the beating. a packet consists of $330.00 loops the 1st they're beaten with a machine and then quartered once more and then there worked with a hammer the wood on they 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. griscom of this hammer ways to kilos almost nothing this one weighs 4 kilos so it's a bit heavier but for me that's nothing at 8 kilos well this one's pretty heavy. for 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

still a demand for it. art restorer and builder and he's about to my song uses a great deal of my audio about that but a lot of gold leaf in her workshop. it takes a steady hand at 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 musicianship bet those who with the photographer. know is supporting a reforestation project to plant 1000000 trees in his country every year good luck to them this is a song called riffle or rest stop in support of the efforts. by
