these places in a row for smashing records to. step into a century. treasure map for modern globe trotters to discover some of the record breaking the site. also in book form. to move here traditional gender roles are being turned upside down. how and why is something you'll find out in this edition of your own max welcome to the show today our focus is on diversity and here's what else we have in store for you. how israeli art is growing hyphenates addresses gender roles in their own work

. and how spot the new york company had seen hold their own 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 any goldstein a model with down syndrome is often booked for photo shoots agencies with a focus on the versity a shaking up of the industry they have a d. 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 the times 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 get all the creatives you know this is a true representation of society. zoe procter and 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 i'm not the packaging and. we didn't think that was going to be achievable and my idea was going to be.

in 2020 ellie 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 or your me home. because but. everything. ellie knows she's a role model for other people with disabilities. they can't pay me more door right may also they could be closer and. she that. represents a whole host of different models.

it was important to me that they 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. are they jump on to a trans so right now is a trend. so we'll see how long it lasts. because obviously there's a life long conditions whatever we have lacked the car remember those lots of little boys and girls. you know they need to see this for their own upbringing and their own mental health. the 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 the greater impact that will have changing people's opinions. but 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 but has always been the perfect place for those. big different people can generally be who they are israeli 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 isn't this really an artist who lives and works of berlin. born in 1978 the 42 year old opposes pigeonholing. people want to put you in one spot. and i can understand. 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. the. release 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 is something that i feel inside of me also it's a question about the gender i. also feel about my body and. when i look at those women those women i feel there is a lot of tension between dan and the way they feel. who studied art in boston in jerusalem knows this tension well. for a large part of her life she's been willing questions of self identity. i just something is missing i don't know what it is so i don't think that i hate it . i just i didn't. some point. the age of

30. that i need to explore i need to go into this journey of. what she was hesitant to express or female slid into she moved to berlin and 2012 here for expressive artworks finally received critical acclaim and it was here to the truly victoria haifa's begin to sure sell for between as. a kind of a new story for gender fluidity since 20 years 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. really began hormone transition therapy but chose not to undergo sex reassignment surgery. adopting the middle name victoria. as gender fluid. wearing dresses

has made through the target of feral 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 straight. road we soon came to recognise the privileges she would enjoy it as a male artiste as a gender flute person it has become more difficult. artworks are currently on display at berlin's museum as part of the exhibition intimacy. once founded to document the amounts of kotori struggle and art of the museum today focuses on the day for. city of sexual identity and concepts of gender.

roles are to work with the envious one centers on her relationship with. her about the trance it's with myself and i. always try to reflect. because also. big papers are. in a way for me to confront. paper it's like creating a kind of a dance with myself drawing by understanding myself. the. question.

is what makes them powerful. and today's show is diversity and that also stands for cultural diversity and right before the show my hand was turned into. the practice of how i got 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 hen artists and london would like to see become something for everyone. and i chatted with a modern twist. the art of painting bodies with hanna paste goes back to antiquity today it's become a veritable fashion trend. pavane donjon runs london's head of bar where anyone

can get their body painted. 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 heather tattoos are created using a paste made from a certain plant typical head of patterns and designs are painted on to 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 aim has always been to make it accessible for everybody but not everyone welcomes this some say westerners wearing head of 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 hassle of wearing it on the skin for 10 days so that obviously appreciated they obviously love it and that makes me feel good. haha don giles indian parents immigrated to britain in the 1970 s. she is london born and raised. britain has a vibrant indian community. it's britain's largest ethnic minority.

so. it was so busy full of women full of strong women and. also to head. off treatments that one available. i was always fascinated by. i just really hope turned to the hannah. and thought that would be amazing to offer to everybody. hannah tattoos originated in north africa the arab. world. so years instead she's ago it used to be used to cool down the skin so they used to crush the make it into the place add with water and put it on the hands and the palms of the feet and used to cool you down but over the years it became decorative. because it's so full of. pop stars like us icon madonna helped popularize had tattoos since the 1990 s. . many celebrities have hired. to get similarly unique tattoos.

the 36 year old whose bars they used in london department store is revolutionizing this art form. she experiments with new colors offers do it yourself for home use and even makes neon had a design. 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 and. so i think as long as the tradition is always on 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 to. additional or more modern hannah designs this glorious art is

definitely an expression of cultural diversity. women who conquer made them against that is not a new topic but unfortunately many of the mainstream do still exist for example in the world of gastronomy among hundreds of starships 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. restaurants in 3 women collaborating to turn out top flight experiences star chef yulia coming up heads to kitchen on the cross is a pastry chef and captain of germany's national cooking team and celine so you go as deputy chef. the look up and restaurant in cologne western germany.

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 julia comp 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 are women. cooking is still very much a male to mean it's the now it's because women naturally have children and then put their jobs or career on the backburner for a while i. think a lot 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. even so you really can't put your faith in women. in church of deserts 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. the 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 these 3 women take care to keep the tone civil and steer tent of to one another's needs your comp and celine so you go have been friends since their training and they like to travel with an across soul in 2019 a compound product upon a color reworked or. troubling 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 a new cookbook if it's due 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. but she's not out to dispense with men on her team completely

with this man when you tell them off afterwards it's over and forgotten but women might take it to heart they take things more personally that's why and even balance of men and women is the best solution for a larger team and the best of. our team will soon be welcoming the new addition once again a woman. asked disarmingly should be in charge of wine. so now from a may of the main to female domain flamenco dancing for a long time it was soley women with its body hugging roughly dresses and flowery hair ornaments the musicians were male the dancers female but that's changing 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 spanish dancer and choreographer manuel lin yun sees it even if the 7 flamenco dresses in his current show viva are worn by men. i mean to me dance is a language with no boundaries. one that follows my feelings underneath it was meant to express himself. 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 male ensemble 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 and 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 referring not 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 rein i mean very i could dress up and i'm free in ways that the don't need to me is a mind inside the world. oh money well being young is widely regarded as one of the world's best flamenco dancers on stage today. even before his training he performed 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 current in fact so it ought to be a joke. because every interpreter if you don't survive male or female has to only starting point and viewpoint is you've got a. month well young explores himself through flamenco and constantly finds new interpretations in his bile a day out daughter or authors 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. as i look at it of course it's critical.

that she realized that we 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. bookie dumb ass and 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 you. and that was all from our special on diversity you'll find more information plus our latest viewer 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. the
