the show today our focus is on diversity and here's what else we have in store for you. how israeli artists growing up high on the crescent gender roles in the work. and how spot you have come and have seen their own animated dominating. 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 up of the industry they have a d.d. is a great example. british talent agency specializes in diverse models with disabilities alternative appearances and trans non-binary.
8:32 am
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 or the creatives 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. a . goal was to see a baby with a disability or not be packaging and. we didn't think that was going to be
8:33 am
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 home. because. everything. ellie knows she's a role model for other people with disabilities. they can't pay me more door may also they could be closer
8:34 am
and. that. represents a whole host of different models. is 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 trans so right now is a trend. so we'll see how long it lasts we will say because obviously this is a lifelong conditions whatever we have lacked the quote remember this 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
8:35 am
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 on changing people's opinions. i think we've still got a long way to go i mean we still feel at the bottom of the mountain going on. but progress is being made one photo shoot at a time because diversity is divine. but like all big cities has its goods and of course best sights the city can be dirty and i'm friendly one positive thing you can definitely say is has always been the perfect place for those. bit different people can generally be who they are israeli artist. has also had that experience and not having to decide between being
8:36 am
a man or woman is a freedom that can be taken for granted. growing if you torii hunter 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 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. are pictures of
8:37 am
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 a question about the gender identity and also. about my body in general. 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. who studied art in boston and jerusalem knows this tension well. for a large part of her life she's been ruling questions of self identity. her. i just heard that something is missing i didn't know what it is so i
8:38 am
think that i. just i didn't know. in some points. age of 30. that i need to explore i need to go into this journey of exploration what she was hesitant to express or female slid into she moved to britain in 2012 here through expressive artworks finally received critical acclaim and it was here to the truly victoria haifa's begin to sure sell for the tree as a. kind of a mystery as for gender fluidity since their twenty's of the last century it's a new this is a city that. makes me feel more safe to try. so it was a kind of intuitions that i knew that i i will be able to do it here. really began
8:39 am
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 fearful and physical abuse a grim reality many trans people not to run. while we are transitioning we are very also very visible and 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. really soon came to recognise the privileges she would enjoy it as a male artist as a gender food person just because more difficult. ravi's art. works are currently on display at a. museum as part of the exhibition intimacy. founded
8:40 am
to document tory struggle on the arts of the museum today focuses on the 1st city of sexual identity and concepts of gender. role his artwork. centers on her relationship with her own body. and. it's with myself and i. always try to reflect in my own drawings because also. big papers and. papers it's. front. paper it's like creating a kind of a dance with myself where the drawing by that.
8:41 am
question. in general. is what makes them so powerful. and today's show is diversity and that also stands for cultural diversity and right before the show my hand was turned into a work of art the practices of had not settling originates from indian and asian regions and 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 artists in london would like to see the camp. something for everyone. on the tattoos with a modern twist. the art of painting bodies with head of paints goes back to
8:42 am
antiquity today it's become a veritable fashion trend. pavane donjon runs london's head of bar where anyone can get their body painted. for me it's all about empowering it's all about the expanding able 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 on to the skin with this dye which stains the skin and slowly fades after about 10 days. so when a design means
8:43 am
a lot for me because growing up we used to hand in designs especially on at weddings for us it holds true significance for a species 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 hannah 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 it obviously appreciated they obviously love it and that makes me feel good. indian parents immigrated to britain in 1970 she is london born and raised. britain has
8:44 am
a vibrant indian community. britain's largest ethnic minority. some. strong. one. i was fascinated by. and thought that would be amazing to everybody. originated in north africa the arab . world. so years and sentry's ago it used to be used to cool down the skin so they used to crush up believes make it into the pace add with water and put it in the hands and the palms of the feet and used to cool you down but over the years it became decorative. just. so full of makeup.
8:45 am
stars like and us icon madonna helped popularize hannah tattoos since the 1990 s. . many celebrities have hired pavane to get similarly unique tattoos. the 36 year old whose bar is based in london selfridges department store is revolutionizing this art form. experiments with new colors offers do it yourself hannah sets for home use and even makes neon hana designs. even though this fancy effect wears off after 24 hours. so i think of the traditional ways be there always. we are 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
8:46 am
. 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 may that is not a new topic but unfortunately made do still exist for example in the world of me among hundreds of starships in germany there are just 14 women one of them. let's find out more about her. and how all women seen and what they have to say about gender diversity and that business. one restaurant and 3 women collaborating to turn out top flight experiences starred chef yulia company heads the kitchen and across is a pastry chef and culture of germany's national cooking team and celine seiko is
8:47 am
deputy sheriff. the looks of an restaurant in cologne western germany of the 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 yulee 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. and jet of germany's total $310.00 starred chefs only 14 are women. cooking is still very much a male to mean it's the 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
8:48 am
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 me. even so you really have come to put your faith in women. in charge of deserts for the locks open 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. gives 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
8:49 am
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 company selene so you go have been friends since their training and they like to travel with an across soul and 2019 come from products a clinical interview world her. new she worth 2 kitchens all around the globe so 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
8:50 am
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 greedy and have inspired her to create new dishes under a new cookbook even stoop to pictures the top should have picked a woman photographer melanie bauer as a mother to a little daughter melanie too has to balance family and profession on a daily basis. usually 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
8:51 am
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 a man who is a 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 in women is the best solution for a larger team and the best of. her team will soon be welcoming the new addition once again the woman. has to some really should be in charge of wind. so now from a may of the main to a female domain flamenco dancing for a long time it was solely women with its body hugging roughly dresses and flowery hair on a man's the musicians were male the dancers female but that's changing from
8:52 am
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 of the photos we feel under louis want to express himself. to me it's an honest language and we want it to. 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
8:53 am
as a boy dancing in women'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. like this was there in this little room to thank you for my imagination free rein i mean very i could dress up and i do freely and will use it for denoted to me as a mind outside of 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 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
8:54 am
a 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 gart in fact so it ought to be. a part of because every interpreter every don'ts are male or female has to only starting point and viewpoint is you got the. money well in yon explores himself through flamenco and constantly finds new interpretations in his ballet be outthought 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.
8:55 am
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 he's 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 but there's still a long way ahead. bookie damascene 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 either. and that was all from our special on diversity you'll find more information plus our latest video draw on our web page way you could become the owner of this d.w.
