come monumental novel. the tower is one of our 100 german must read a compelling tale of the eastern experience. that one the german book prize. now of 40 i to i am has big plans for the african art scene. again, a and writer, filmmaker and art historian has initiated multiple projects to showcase the diversity of african art or from an online pan, african cultural, encyclopaedia of arts and culture to her own. they do novel, which has just appeared here in germany. she's changing the narrative of how a vast continent perceives itself. none of a for you is on the moon. we caught up with the expert for african art at the you art center in dartmouth, where she is planning and exhibition of contemporary art from ghana. i'm from one part of that well, which are cultural expressions and ways of seeing what

a certain expense impressed. and i think my mission in a way is to bring these back to the forefront and show that value again. so that we have the fullness of being moved between culture. she was born in germany, but today's grand daughter is a guinea and king lives across her story as migration provide at the background for her debut novel that the god child child. very much still the colonial hang up. you know, parents said to us, especially when you grew up in europe and abroad, you know, you always have to be better than them in order to be taken half seriously. you have to speak better, you have to be more intelligent. you have to work hard. it's very much, you know, we have to still fight and prove ourselves to be equal. in the novel, she is my own,

the only black girl in 1974 player has being perceived as different is a defining experience. her father is a doctor, her mother, a princess who challenges preconceptions with an immense pride in her origins. you know, we're always preparing to go home. europe was always a short stop. it was never the end goal. so no, that wasn't the sense that europe was bad at all. it was always like home is where we belong. that's why we're going. we've come here to get an education so that we can go home and, you know, make it better, make a life event. at 1st maya has no concept of homeland. she shuttles between locations, do sport london a convent school in noise. she learns the codes at the european world until one day . her cousin cojo arrives and sparks her enthusiasm for the history, traditions, and spiritual rituals of gunner. they decide to rewrite the book of their ancestors . nate was also a metaphor for that which had been lost. and i know that

a lot of my generation felt this gap between us are grandparents, gaps of knowledge, gaps, knowing how to do things. you know, that happened dances that parents can do which out dance is that speak that we just don't know. the novel follows the rhythms of the canadian drums that some of the ancestor stories into the present. it also depict, gone as colonial past, the stolen art treasures, the loss of identity. maya comes to see herself as a part of the country that has to recovery, sold, and go its own way. like her alter ego, i. e mm. as reclaiming the history of her country using heart for years, she's been bringing it into the everyday lives of good names with a mobile museums project. i think the colonial have made and cellphone for to it's kind of play this space within history. and what i'm trying to do in a way to say,

well, actually of as all of this multiplicity, there's all this, well, there's all this witness in evolution, in our cultural evolution. and we don't have to keep reducing it to the cap. so she uses art for transformation outside, gone to in 2019, she curated the countries 1st ever pavilion at the venice p. m. alec a major triumph that she fought hard for and even tougher process is towards the restitution of artifacts stolen during the colonial era. on behalf of the canadian culture ministry, she's involved in dialogue with european museum. i was a lot of questions that came up around recitation. that beginning was we give them back the object will they know how to look after them? which apart from, you know, the obvious insult and racism, implied in that question on the surface. you know, this whole kind of civilizing colonizing mindset is still completely

prevalent. even in those museum directors that are willing to have conversations with us, that they need to speak to us. and until this is shifted it's for me, it's a bit of an mc, jess. there are a multitude of historical wrongs to put right before you even novel says that god, children do exactly that is travelling through time and hearing the whisperings of the universe in the other culture news, damien hirst, and also the blur of the contemporary art world is best known for his provocative pieces featuring dead animals in formaldehyde from way back in the 90s. but a new exhibition in paris offers an unexpected explosion of joy and color with his cherry blossom series. it's seen as a natural progression of his earlier spot painting work and

a homage to 19th century impressionism and point. he lives him over show features 30 worked from a larger theories that took in 3 years to complete. and signals are returned to paint her says his vision only got bolder, with repeated pandemic delays. and a collection of paintings by american pop arts, pioneer andy warhol is on show into iran for the 1st time. i conic portraits of mick jagger, marilyn monroe, and jackie kennedy and aversion of war hole famous candy 2 cans are in the spotlight to the delight of visitors. the paintings have been lying dormant in the store room of the museum of contemporary art into iran since the islamic revolution in 1979. and now to the work of photographers, zach fun, bill yawn, who grew up in south africa, where he graduated top of his class at the national college of photography event, emigrated to europe, and spent some time as

a commercial photographer before his urge to get a fresh look at nature made him see read the my name is zach somebody young and i'm a saga. i'm currently working on my modernizing mesa series, which is photographed and in for the photographer, uses the techniques to create a real image world like this one. the violent turns pain can rate changing the natural environment almost into some kind of alien territory. and subtle greens from the trees become more dominant. let's put out some more projects on 1000000000 is out hunting for subjects. he grew up in south africa, but he's lived in switzerland for many years now. in 2009, he conducted his 1st experiments with infrared photography and has concentrated on the technique ever since. in color photography,

we capture the visual spectrum that is blue, green and red. in infrared, we capture near infrared light as well, chlorophyll in plants absorb the visual spectrum to use this for, for different pieces. and the cell walls and the other hand reflow to me for a life. and this reflected energy creates ease of it pings hundreds, does that sound yawn has exhibited this works around the world? currently, his infrared photos are on display and sophomore, and many of them were taken here in the area. after he made the move from south africa to europe in 2004, he started working as a commercial and fashioned photographer. now he's got clients the world over

but his own creative projects are where his heart, the search for motif, the nature is an experience in itself, wasn't hostile, it's population all born in cities and all these people are no longer in sync with nature, but rather than like phones and devices, i want to attract these cities well, and subconsciously reminds them of the real nature. i will be walking in the mountains and a view like this will prevent us south to me and i'll be without words. i cannot live without this, and i don't see us having a future without nature. some people may dream of going to mars, but all it takes to do the other worldly beauty of a red planet right here is a slight color shift. ah ah. oh, finally, anyone wanting to gain

a better understanding of the former communist east germany is well advised to read over 10 comes novel, the tower that's in raised. and in south eastern germany, it recreates the atmosphere of the late phase of the country. so just before the fall of the berlin wall and the book, one several prizes and was also adapted for a tv film. but as we purists like to say, nothing quite nails. it like the original. what would you do if you saw a police officer beating and kicking your mother? what if you were held back and forth to watch her down as a teenage boy, when he sees his mother attack for protesting against the east german regime. it's october 1989 to 3 weeks before the fall of the berlin wall. but no one knows yet the communism is about to crop. kristen is the tragic hero, an author over telecoms novel, the tower. it's about 3 generations in

a family of intellectuals who despise both communist east germany, where they live and the capitalist west. they're the type of smug elite who aren't even supposed to exist in the cells called workers paradise. they live a life torn between resistance and resignation, and it's especially hard on the youngest of them. because tends uncle warned him not even to fall in love with me. they kiss you and they betray you both in the same breath. it doesn't have to be like that, but sometimes it is. and you can't take any more risk. it's about time you started to learn that in this country you can't behave like a little child. that's countries, not the place to be young. no author has ever described east germany. so free of illusions. if the last glance at the grand allies that many people relied on to make sense of, there was a tower with overtake, comes, break through his 1000 page breakthrough at one him,

the german ah and enthusiastic recommendation. there are so many good books for that. never ending summer reading low stand with that all the rest from us here in berlin until next time and cheers. just because the what secrets lie behind these was discovered new adventures in 360 degree and explore the fascinating world heritage site. he w world heritage 3 pm now to own or not to well, what about a sharing economy?

change in thinking is changing the economy to create something new economics magazine and germany on d w. the names have become casual artifacts thanks to n s t technology. some self, a huge sums of money artists like to create new young cat feel that's only fair and learn that later. one thing is clear means that he to state but what makes a good successful mean? that's our topic on ship today. the bernie sanders and the battle bill in edward hopper painting or on the iron throne form game of phones. the photo of the american democrats wearing cells and

admittance was taking a job by ends in your ration it delighted. countless internet users who use the image in your context. thus, the sanders mittens mean was born. but what exactly is a mean? when we hear mean, most of us probably think about funny picture that gets a different meaning when you change the caption. but these image macros are just one type of mean. a video can be a mean piece of text can be a mean. it's something that as remixed and recycled and copied. so something that is disseminated over and over again, and as it's disseminated, it also says the ologist, it deals, gallup is writing, her ph. d on internet means he describes them as units of culture that work as templates. you can change their meaning by changing the caption and have endless varieties of the same means,

like pictures that compare celebrities outfits too hot. yes. for this video, where a man is busy, ethically introduce his rather quiet girlfriend. my birthday i get to contribute to my girlfriend with amazing which other internet users edit it into hostage situation. and because it's my birthday i get to introduce you to my girlfriend who is my one. today's also my birthday and because of my birth date mark is you don't want to do this thing. i get the letter go, i mean have become an important online communication tool. they can reaffirm community membership and are a great way to quickly and widely spread information. more commentary means they're successful because they're easy to disseminate their cheap to make almost every one other smartphone. almost everyone uses an instant messenger app and very easy to decode. most of the time,

sometimes they can be extremely difficult to the code as well. adding inventive captions to movies still is one template that works across the world. another is responding with a reaction ship a. and while some topics appeals to the global mean communities like overly demanding parents, there are also regional differences. i think the way names are used in different places usually is dependent on how tightly controlled the internet as in that place. so in countries where there is more internet censorship, you might have you might have more dangerous means, so to speak. these dangerous means are often political and in countries with repressive regimes, people have been sent to jail for sharing names. in china,

the government took offense to comparisons between sheet and ping and when you pool images of the children's book character with temporarily blocked and the cowardly be become a public enemy. so means on just online dogs. some help us understand world politics. when the given container ship got stuck in the suez canal in 2021, it prompted a flood of new name. many incorporated scenes from movies or television series, others to parallel to personal problems like an overflowing email inbox or procrastination. before the section had the kind of symbol of the fragility of world trade, as it showed how dependent the global economy is not free passage through this to this canal. hundreds of ships were unable to get through. and on twitter maps showing alternative routes for the positions of ships waiting to pass through, got

a lot of attention. even the communist philosopher calls marks with quoted the sample shows how useful needs can be and helping us understand complex systems . many people started sharing. yes. and it was funny boats, boats stuck in canal joke and then it turned into okay, where is this boat? where is this canal? wow. is does all world trade depend on this one tiny can now why are we doing this? are also a great way for making light of heavy feelings, such as helplessness, like an india, which has been hard hit by covert 9 teams where the 2nd lockdown was recently extended user shirt numerous. somewhere i'm going back to bad. others on not having enough, i'll call it and still others on the list in your family. to means help

people communicate in the difficult situation. means can be a form of a test, a protest, and a creative outlet for difficult emotions. and by, it's hard to assess how influential political means really are. they are playing a role in political debates, and they're becoming more valuable, like the global hit yon kat and is rainbow trail. we asked the means, create chris stories about the story behind the pop top cat, an animated cat with a pop type body. and cat was one of the most viewed youtube videos of 2011, and the chip was a huge viral, his creator chris torres explains the tumble origins. i was doing a charity drive for the american red cross way back in 2011. and i was in the chat room with a lot of people just drawing stuff for charity. and i just, you know, i finished it. i got like a 100 bucks, as a donation for it. then that night i decided to actually pixilated. and then i just

posted on twitter opposed to the wrong tumbler. and i just kinda like called with a de leon cat went viral even more so after someone added playful japanese music towards me, the bit of money for merchandise. but he's real profit came 10 years later when he sold a non fungible token or nf c non fundable tokens. i like an authenticity certificate for digital works. young cad was one of the 1st means sold as an entity in february . chris dollars auction it off on the theory block chain, rabbit sulfur, a high prize in the block chains crypto currency etha. i was just wanting to test the waters but the 1st one i but the 1st, the cat that i put was the original. i re master it and i put it up there and that's the one that sold for $300.00 ether, which is the value right now. one, well, i'm not sure what it is right now, but last night was 1000018 husband or something like that. to add a dozens of new friends in the cat universe like

a mexican me on cats or the crypto currency inspired me and he's told thanks to in his piece of pay and hearing mean create as i'm now also earning serious money. like with a mean overly attach girlfriend. disaster girl or grumpy kit, which have all been sold us and a piece. if you ever don't understand the mean, you can check out the website. no. your mean dot com is like it. we can p d, f o means, which is helpful because many have several layers of meaning. here's an example. your video line is the line again and it can't pass over 15000000 clicks. what's the secret success? let's have a look at that. the guy is a finished song from 1928. he was rearranged in 1995 by the court said noise to the sun entered the meanwhile through youtube in 2006,

a russian viewer combined with assurance from a japanese animation, creating the lease which went viral buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy. but he was so successful that another version sung by an animated donkey to follow that was mostly sold as is shown for mobile phones back when that was still that thing the good again heard this song on the radio in late 2018. soon after, keep upload it his own version of the point that to you to the cat was an added until 2020. what's the story behind the cat? in april 2020, i take user posted a video of their cat net head, bopping telic tronic music. it quickly became a popular a mean template where the vibe and had is combined with short captions or some of

them at the moment you worked with them. and then when i got to pick it up and when vibe and cat was added to guard against poco version. in november 2022, drumming became a new mean template or not added trump dancing biden's. and of course, the can you or enough this song even makes me want to day that is the little bit or enough feel. yeah. so that's how it came about. and i think it's great boldly and there are loads of persians, several of which have been mixed with other famous me the an amazing story. music, especially pop songs, a great me material. check this out. the, the most famous music mean today's is probably rick astley,

$987.00 hit. never going to give you up the if your own line a line back 20055. take time. it's hard not to come across this song for a single there's even the term rick rolling, which means to send someone a promising looking link that actually leads to the music video. that was another popular music means, draws on canadian musician drake, and it hit hotline blank to gesture symbolising approval and rejection. have become templates or means expressing personal opinions will use to come and there's even a drake hotline, blank mean generator where you need there are also political music mean

like this mash up of this is america by childish gambino and congratulations myself alone this movie and this is america and congratulations were combined to form a me. it was frequently used on tick tock to comment on protests in the us. to me means our form of truly global communication. there are a great way for us to connect and exchange views. and as everything from nonsense job means to serious political commentary, do you also use them? but do means mean to you and do you have a favorite? that is no on youtube or d, w dot com. i for now and take the in the
