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. different people can generally be who they are israeli artist. has also had that experience and not having to decide between being a man or woman is a freedom that can't always be taken for granted. growing victoria. is really an artist who lives and works in berlin. born in 1978 the 42 year old opposes pigeonholing. people want to put you
2:08 am
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 5. 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. or pictures hi-lo to 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 about questions about the gender identity and also. about my body in general. when i look at those women. there is
2:09 am
a lot of tension between them and the way they feel. who studied art in boston and jerusalem knows this tension will. large part of her life she's been willing questions of self identity. her. i just heard that something is missing i didn't know what it is so i 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. what she was hesitant to express or female side into she moved to berlin in 2012 here through expressive artworks finally received critical acclaim and it was here
2:10 am
to retro you tory haifa's begin to sure self as the land has a kind of mystery it's 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 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 variable and physical abuse a grim reality many trans people know too well. while we are transitioning we are very also very visible and it's not so easy to be visible
2:11 am
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 recognize the privilege of she would enjoy it as a male not just as a gender food person just because more difficult. robberies aren't. works are currently on display at. museum as part of the exhibition intimacy. founded to document the tory struggle and art of getting. today focuses on the diversity of sexual identity and concepts of gender. artwork the envious one centers on her relationship with her own body. i have the trance it's with myself and i.
2:12 am
always try to reflect. because also. big papers and. papers it's in a way of. paper it's like creating a kind of a dance with myself where the drawing by understanding the. 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. the practice of.
2:13 am
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. one hand an artist in london would like to see the camp. something for everyone. tattoos with a modern twist. the art of painting bodies with head of pain 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. for me it's all about empowering it's all about the ex being 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
2:14 am
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 and means a lot for me because growing up we used to have designs especially on at weddings for us it holds true significance for special 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 everyone welcomes this some say westerners wearing hannah tattoos are engaging in cultural appropriation knowing little to nothing about the roots of this art.
2:15 am
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 appreciative 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 a vibrant indian community. britain's largest ethnic minority. so. it was so busy full of women full of strong. treatments that one available. i was fascinated by.
2:16 am
and thought that would be amazing to offer to everybody. originated in north africa the arab. world. is. to be used to cool down the so they used to. make the place ads with the hands and the palms of the feet and. then over the years it became decorative. pop stars and us. helped popularize had tattoos since the 1990 s. . many celebrities have hired. to get similarly unique tattoos. the 36 year old. in london's department store is revolutionizing this art form. experiments with new colors offers do it yourself for home use
2:17 am
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 a way to all of us 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 conquer made that is not a new topic but unfortunately made do still exist for example in the world of

trauma me 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. restaurant the 3 women collaborating to turn out top flight experiences starred chef comic heads the kitchen on the cross is a pastry chef and culture of germany's national cooking team and. its deputy sheriff. to look sharp and restaurant in cologne western germany of whom it is one of the few women to break every last glass ceiling in germany gastronomically circles it's been 5 years since the no 32 year old. earned her 1st mitchell and star and became germany's youngest ever starred chef. it has nothing to do with
2:19 am
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 is he now it's because women naturally have children and then put their jobs or career on the backburner for a while i. don't 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 trying any. different so using a coach puts your faith in women. in charge of deserts for the lock up and is an across the job is a dream come true for her but she still wonders if it wouldn't be better if she
2:20 am
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
2:21 am
tone civil and the attentive to one another's needs your compensation so you go have been friends since their training and they like to travel with an across several and 2019 using a compound burked a kind of cooling or reworked or. for one year she worked through 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 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 if it's due 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 look at the i'm usually
2:22 am
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 purge 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. put she's not out to dispense with men in order to completely with the man who is the 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. her team will soon be welcoming the new addition
2:23 am
once again a woman. to some really should be in charge of wine. so now from a may of the main to a female domain flamenco dancing for a long time it was soley women with its body hugging roughly dresses and flowery hair on amends 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 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 that. i mean to me dance is a language with no boundaries. one that follows my feelings underneath it was me to
2:24 am
express himself. to me it's an honest language for them well and we wanted the. money well in the un viva 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 the 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 but 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 and i were free in ways that the new to me
2:25 am
has a mind inside 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 but figure hugging dresses the dance also counts as an integral part of the end allusion identity even so well. 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 that's how it ought to be. because every interpreter every don'ts are male or
2:26 am
female has to only starting points and viewpoint is you got it. money well explores himself through flamenco and constantly finds new interpretations in his ballet they are thought of 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. a sad look out of it if course it's great to get proof. that the safe realised that you still have a long way to go before society accepts that every individual has to own identity and a static that some people already do because there's still a long way ahead. when i come you know what i meant.
2:27 am
