you. how israeli artists growing in height and the dresses and gender roles and you know what. have you yet come and 16 modelling and made the money to. diversity is also becoming a big deal in the fashion business on the catwalk strict sizes and pro potions to still prevail but the inclusion of models with diverse gender identities is in stereotypes out for instance 80 goldstein a model with down syndrome is often booked for photo shoots agencies with a focus on the versity a shaking of the industry they have a da is a great example. british talent agency specializes in diverse models with disabilities alternative appearances and trans non-binary. it wants to increase the visibility of these models in the media and

to the world of fashion. that would be goal is to see like 20 percent of all. commercial she is all you know using somebody who has a disability not just in front of the hammer but behind the camera or the creative you know this is a true representation of society. launched the agency with her sister in law laura johns in 2017 they were disappointed by the lack of diversity in the industry today has a roster of over 500 talents in london new york and los angeles. that . goal was to see a baby with a disability or not be packaging and. we didn't think that was going to be achievable and my idea was going to be.

in 2020 goldstein featured in a gucci beauty campaign her picture garnered almost 900000 likes on instagram making it the france most popular instagram post ever. the sought after 19 year old model has down syndrome. i think. of. me. a whole. lot because but. everything. else he knows she's a role model for other people with disabilities. they can't pay me more dora may. they could be closer and. she that. represents

a whole host of different models. it was important to me that i signed with. interest and cared about representing diversity. representing us and allowing us to be authentic i would say the media is very much like. they jump on to a trend right now is a trend. so we'll see how long it lasts we will say because obviously as a lifelong conditions whatever we have lacked the car remember lots of little boys and girls. you know they need to see this for their own upbringing and their own mental health. agency has made a name for itself with many major brands now hiring its models. zoe

proctor hopes her agency will help promote greater diversity and awareness in the world. the more we do the greater impact that will have changing people's opinions. you know i think we've still got a long way to go i mean we still feel at the bottom of the mountain go we go. but progress is being made one photo shoot at a time because diversity is divine. but like all big cities has its good and of course best sights the city can be dirty and friendly but one positive thing you can definitely say is it has always been the perfect place for those. bit different people can generally be who they are you strangely artist heifetz has also had that experience not having to decide between being a man or woman is

a freedom that can always be taken for granted. roee victoria is an israeli artist who lives and works of berlin. born in 197842 year old opposes pigeonholing. people want to put you in a while. and i can understand i think also in my brain i wish to you know to wake up one morning and to say yes i am a woman or yes i am a man it never happened to me it is a fight it is a battle but at the same time i think one of my goal is also to celebrate. artworks often depict old women. whose bodies and faces have been rendered invisible by society. her picture is highlighted a certain tension between the body and soul.

of the body and the way you feel the tension between the identity and the body itself it's something that i feel inside of me also it's about questions about the gender i. am and also feel about my body and. when i look at this those women those women i feel that there is a lot of tension between dan and the way they feel. growing who studied art in boston in jerusalem knows this tension well. large part of her life she's been willing questions of self identity. i just heard that something is missing i don't know what it is so i don't think

that i hate it. i just i didn't know my buddy. some points. age of 30. that i need to explore i need to go into this journey of. thought she was hesitant to express her female side until she moved to berlin and 2012 here through expressive artworks finally received critical acclaim and it was here to truly victoria haifa's begin to shore sell for between as a. kind of a mystery as for gender fluidity since their twenty's of the last century it's a new edition city that. makes me feel more safe to try. so it was a kind of intuitions the same year that i will be able to do it here. roy began hormone transition therapy but chose not to undergo sex reassignment surgery.

adopting the middle name victoria. fluid. wearing dresses has made through the targets inferrable and physical abuse a grim reality many trans people know too well. while we are transitioning we are very also very visible. it's not so easy to be visible and at the same time to transition. so we are very much exposed to violence on the street it's also. growing soon came to recognize the privileges she would enjoyed as a male artist as a gender fluid person just because more difficult. artworks are currently on display at berlin's full as museum a 4th of the exhibition intimacy. once founded to document the amounts of authority struggle and art of the museum today focuses on the day for.

city of sexual identity and concepts of gender. were always artwork with the soldiers on her relationship with her own body. their real battle that i have about the trance it's with myself and with my party and. always try to reflect in my own drawings because also. those big papers and the reason and those papers it's in a way for me to confront my body from the paper it's like creating a kind of a dance with myself where the drawing by and out understanding yourself. question is related to self identity in general.

and it's what makes them so powerful. because. our photos in today's show is diversity and that also stands for cultural diversity and right before the show my hand was turned into a work off the practice of. originates from indian and asian regions and dates back as far as ancient egypt they were traditionally used for celebrations and rites of passage these days the peasants are also simply painted on for their. one hand the artist and london would like to see become something for everyone. and the tattoos with a modern twist. the art of painting bodies with head of pain just goes back to

antiquity today it's become a veritable fashion trend. pavane donjon runs london's had a bar where anyone can get their body to. tell me it's all about empowering it's all about the experience to express yourself no matter what your background is no matter what your personality is you know some people like big lavish designs some people like very small designs discreet designs and i think it's an expression of yourself and that's what we're all here for we're here to enjoy all sorts of cultures the world is smaller now have the tattoos are created using a paste made from a certain plant typical head of patterns and designs are painted onto the skin with this dye which stains the skin and slowly fades after about 10 days. so when it is on means a lot for me because growing up we used to have designs especially on at weddings

for us it holds true significance for specious occasions but for me while i was growing up i thought it would be amazing to share this with everyone and not just have it for weddings so my name has always been to make it accessible for everybody but not everyone welcomes this some say westerners wearing tattoos are engaging in cultural appropriation knowing little to nothing about the roots of this art. for me i feel like if someone's wearing a head and they're wearing it with sincerity and they really enjoying wearing it then there's absolutely not nothing wrong i feel like if someone was going to wear it just to ridicule it they wouldn't go through the house over and on the skin for 10 days so that obviously appreciative they obviously love it and that makes me feel good. haha don giles indian parents in. britain in 1970 she is london born and raised. britain has a vibrant indian community. britain's largest ethnic minority.

that was so busy full of women full of strong. treatments that one available. i was always fascinated by this. and thought that would be amazing to offer to everybody. had the tattoos originated in north africa the arab. world. so years ago to be used to cool down the skin so they used to. make the place ads with the hands and the palms of the feet and used to cool you down but over the years it became decorative. so. stars like and us. helped popularize. the 990.

many celebrities have hired. to get similarly unique tattoos. the 36 year old whose bar is least in london department store is revolutionizing this art form. with new colors offers do it yourself for home use and even makes neon henna designs. even though this fancy effect wears off after 24 hours. so i think the traditional ways be they're always. considered a modern brand but my roots lie with the tradition that's where it came from an honor. so i think as long as the tradition is always on it and people know where it came from. and where its origins are from then there's no harm in bringing it to

the future. whether traditional or more modern hannah designs this glorious art is definitely an expression of cultural diversity. women who can come a them against that is not a new topic but unfortunately made do still exist for example in the world of trauma me among hundreds of star shifts in germany there are just 14 who are women one of them come let's find out more about her and her all women scene and what they have to say about gender diversity and that business. restaurant on 3 women collaborating to turn out a top flight experiences starred chef come as the kitchen and across as a pastry chef and culture of germany's national cooking team and celine so you go

deputy shift. the look shop and restaurant in cologne western germany after who is one of the few women to break every last glass ceiling in german gastronomically circles it's been 5 years since the now 32 year old beauty accomplice earned her 1st mitchell and star and became germany's youngest ever starred chef. it has nothing to do with being a man or a woman but with ability strength and being your own person. of germany's total $310.00 starships only 14 women. cooking is still very much a male to mean is that it's because women naturally have children and then put their jobs or career on the backburner for a while i. think i think lots of talented women simply decide they want a normal life with a partner and children. and it's very difficult to put it all together.

the older you get and the farther you get in your career or you'd like to go the less likely you are to stick it through also with gus trani. different so you can't put your faith in women. in charge of desserts for the look is an across the job is a dream come true for her but she still wonders if it wouldn't be better if she took over running her parents' farm. it's a really difficult question for me. i know that i want a family life and also that i don't want to be working in the kitchen anymore when it comes so that raises the question of how i can bring everything together because on the one hand this is my thing this is what i really enjoy doing where i can let my creativity run free. here on the other hand i do think it'd be hard to combine it all. working atmosphere in the kitchen can also be challenging.

their general tone isn't always friendly even if it's nothing personal but purely work related i've always been lucky in that regard i've never worked in a kitchen where it got really bad. but kitchens like that do exist and i know of some where girls in particular often don't have a very nice day at work in their kitchens. so both these 3 women take care to keep the tone civil institutions of to one another's needs your compensation so you have been friends since their training and they like to try. with an across soul in 2019 a conference brought a clinical interview world turned. new she worked in kitchens all around the globe i was very pleased to see that especially in asia you find many many women in the kitchen sometimes it was really 5050 men and women or in a restaurant there might even be more women than men that's something very special

and it made me happy to see her experiences made a deep impression. on familiar spices under gradients have inspired her to create new dishes under new cookbook even to do to pictures the top shelf picked a woman photographer melanie power as a mother to a little daughter melanie to has to balance family and profession on a daily basis because i'm only a range of the dish and it works as it stands and a man might have less playful arrangements more rough if you will. so i'm glad you leo's plates aren't like that. but can you really taste the difference between a dish prepared by a woman and one fixed by a man. no there are men who can cook fantastic and enchanting dishes just as there are women who do but i do think you can make out a feminine touch in the dishes. i've heard myself that are cuisine tends to be

pretty feminine i. put she's not out to dispense with men in order to completely with this man when you tell them off afterwards it's over and forgotten it but women might take it to heart they take things more personally that's why and even balance of men in women is the best solution for a larger team but. our team will soon be welcoming the new addition once again a woman. asked a somali should be in charge of wind. so now from m a the main to female domain flamenco dancing for a long time it was soley women's art with its body hugging roughly dresses and flowery hair ornaments the musicians were male the dancers female but that's changing money when young from spain lives for flamenco he she wants to challenge the shop division between male and female. flamenco is

femininity in its purest form that's how standish dancer and choreographer manuel lin yun sees it even if the 7 flamenco dresses in his current show. are worn by men. you know. what i mean to me dance is a language with no boundaries. one that follows my feelings underneath it was me to express myself. to me it's an honest language and we wanted the. money well in the back exultant freedom of movement and expression he and his mail on sampled break down the strict gender roles of traditional flamenco. he wrote and choreographed the show himself he deals with the dancers childhood and the way he as a boy dancing in woman's clothes was ostracized. so

you're going to see that when i was little everyone made fun of me i felt as if i wasn't living up to the role that society expected of me so i locked myself away in my room. which was there in this little room to thank you for my imagination free range i mean very i could dress up the new free in ways to put in it to me as a man outside the world. oh manuel when young is widely regarded as one of the world's best flamenco dancers on stage today. even before his training people are formed with some of the country's foremost ensembles flamenco originated in spain's under lucio community in the 19th century it's characterized by flamboyant figure hugging dresses the dance also counts as an integral part of the end allusion identity even so well. the neon sees

no need for it to be bound to tradition. you know going to one of the going to fleming. i think the positive aspects from uncle has to offer are its diversity and varying perspectives. it can be traditional classical or often gart that's how it ought to be. because every interpreter every dance or male or female you know has to only starting point and viewpoint is you got a. month well in yawn explores himself through flamenco and constantly finds new interpretations in his ballet they are thought of or offers dance in 2018 he conjured up dream worlds on stage like a magician and spirited the audience away on a journey through his subconscious. he's gained acclaim for deliberately breaking with gender roles and provoking audiences

and critics alike. so look at it of course it's critical. that realized that you still have a long way to go before society accepts that every individual has their own identity and a static that some people already do because there's still a long way ahead. booky don't matter when i come you know that meant. it and i hope that one day people don't say we're dressing up anymore but the for simply putting on dresses with the. and that was all from our special on diversity you'll find more information plus our latest video draw on our web page where you could become the owner of this d.w. backpack with goodies thanks for watching and see you next time i like and.
