ah, with those who we are, your is actually on fire for mines. ah, a spectacular swarm. hundreds of birds flit through the sky and perfect synchrony. we speak to a photographer of starling murmur, ations, later in the show. and with that, a warm welcome to today's edition of your max with me, your host, hannah. hm. well here's what else we've got coming up in glasgow. scotland there.

riverside museum is considered a landmark of modern architecture and a chunk of cheese in a cup of coffee. it's a bizarre tradition in northern sweden. but 1st, around 25000 people with ukranian passports are ukranian roots live here in berlin . that number is rapidly increasing. now, due to the war with thousands of ukrainian refugees arriving in the german capital every day. of course they're all anxious about family and loved ones back home. so as victoria search in ski, a berlin based photographer, with ukranian roots, she's traveled there frequently over the past years and captured the country in a way that now ceases to exist. ah, victoria sorta chin ski strolls through a berlin park, but her thoughts are in ukraine where she was born and still has family and friends

. her father has made it out of keith, but she still hasn't heard from her relatives and mario, paul, in days. they don't know if they're still alive and sir. yeah, it says that, i mean, we just hope that somehow they managed to survive in this incredibly horrible situation. and because they have no electricity, no water, no food. victoria sorta chince key has been living and working in berlin as a successful photographer, since 2013 her family left. what was then still the soviet union when she was 11 years old. she lived in israel, canada, and the u. s. but her work often recalls memories of ukraine. her long running project lands of no return presents one example. for almost 10 years, she chronicled the gradual disappearance of traditional ukrainian villages and

their people. her grandparents lived in one such village near keith. she remembers her many happy visits as a little girl. ah, i want to commemorate the last remains, but not in the most kind of saddest way. but more to show the beauty of this place as the beauty of this people. now, it'll probably be in even in much worse conditions, of course, because if they were not taken care of, then what will happen now for her latest project pull taba land. victoria sorta chance key once again, travel to ukraine. to her. the city of pull tava is a very special, almost mythical place, a kind of microcosm, peopled with creative and unique individuals. some of her photos were on display and berlin's hard east gallery until late february. the gallery specializes in art from ukraine. galleries. cornelius schmidt meyer is

planning the next exhibition to include works by victoria sorta chikavsky schmidt. maya herself spent a few years in ukraine. right after the war broke out. she and her business partner started a foundation to support ukrainian artists and bring artworks out of the country and run against unfounded. we wanted to start working right away to help the artist is that they could go on expressing themselves and working if they can visit us. there are some artists who said they're no longer able to right now. and they simply don't have the energy or the strength of tom in berlin's sure. in a back district. the odessa mom, a restaurant, serves up ukrainian cuisine every day since the war began. the proprietors natalia alexander gl dierdre, have been cooking, not only for their patrons, but for about 20 volunteers who are helping ukrainian refugees. and of course for the refugees themselves, wendy, when the ukrainian refugees arrive, we serve them for free, at least

a ball of bosch or sl younger. so we donate bowls of soup and his loop of if you spend ukrainian cuisine is comfort food to victorious or a chikavsky as well. forced and blenny give her a feeling of home, especially now during this time of crisis. she's happy to see so many people willing to help. i have a lot of friends also whoa, you know, feed their apartments or rooms and go to pick up a people from the border. so yeah, it's very touching for me and i am. it's very nice to see that people are so united in this a terrible situation. victoria sorta chikavsky is also doing what she can to help with her art to. she's planning her next photo project for ukraine. i would like to photograph how the conte will come out from this crisis. how it will be rebuilt again, and i would like to focus on the younger generation. my hope is to capture her,

this period of the ukrainian people who are very strong in my mind and for capable of bringing this concert back to life. she's already got a title for her project, ukraine's the after life we hope for the best. now let's move to italy to understand the true art of pizza making. you have to be born in the lot of pizza makers, at least that's what some italian say. but abraham sonia from burkina, faso, runs one of the most successful pizzeria is in the country. it wasn't easy for him in the beginning, but he persevered with his passion for pizza. ah, abraham sun yeah, had a dream. he strove to bake the perfect pizza for captcha and pizza to go.

and he has been carrying out his dream for 3 years now. he's been up pizza baker and runs his own people. serious company rang sonya then without looking at my name is anybody here? sonya? i'm 30 years old from burkina faso as soon oh no one believed in my project at 1st . what was that though? but i finally made my dream come true, i didn't, i saw no, and my joint was even named one of the top 50. take away pizzeria in italy. besedia thus bought vitalia. his restaurant is right next to the main square of the northern italian city of 10 til best always something going on in the little take away pizzeria. the pulse serves customers himself to that funny enough pizza isn't a quiet taste for him, philip, is that any thing or if it's at 1st i didn't like pizza and stuff? well, i just didn't enjoy the taste. i thought i thought it was new to me because i'm from burkina faso and pizza wasn't a thing there yet. i met with time. he took

a liking to it. sonya put zucchini blossoms, basle, cream or pistachios on the pizza base. to make his cool may take away creations. and he comes up with a new type every week. to justin all the cause i like odd combinations. fanatical is specially with intense flavors, little a role model. and the colors will that remind me of africa thought about africa. when in for him, sonia came to italy as a 12 year old. he was the only black child in his class. and when he opened his pizzeria in 2018, he hardly had any customers. at 1st. many people was skeptical of a black pizza baker. only once he had tie at white employees, did his business take off this good afternoon at abi, i see this discrimination often angered me in fountain morning. but when you get up

in the morning to do something you enjoy, you can do anything you put your mind to that well, cause i could. yeah. because your work doesn't feel like a burden or something. yeah. and it's just wonderful is a evolution august. the father and customers gradually born to him and they love his pizzas. in the meantime, his now famous pizzeria is even featured in many travel guide. his secret recipe is sour dough made with top quality flour. he lets it rise for at least 24 hours, making his keats's extra aromatic and easy on the stomach. he even has his own special baking method, then also present or not appeal could to that. we make our pizza twice a foot duda. first, we do just a dough consent on then, and toppings, and bake it all again, apostrophe like a, and you end up with an extra crunchy dough that's fluffy and light at the same time with it. you can really see it here, only these nice air bubbles that form during baking. if you could. i. i know he

tried pizzas from all over italy to figure out what he liked best. abraham. sonya uses only high quality ingredients in his take away pizzas. and yet he still keeps the starting price of $2.00 euro isn't $0.50. the slice, his pizzeria has become one of the most popular in the city and has a reputation even outside of 10 to many of his lunch time. customers are rec in us with care, boy, every one likes his pizzas, and they've got great ingredients. honey. moon removed, but you can tell, he puts his heart into his pizzas, who quoted, so said victor, ever authentic and mate with love abraham. sonya also helps others with pizza donations with pizza. so space and customers pay for an extra pizza, so that a person in need can pick it up nato. some don't as write

a personal message on the receipt to the initiative is a real hit on line with people expressing their thanks. annoyed. yeah, we give people their pizza along with the receipt and a little hello from the donor. not on it puts a smile on their face at the battle. in the past 2 years, customers have already donated about 2000 euros worth of pizza. and now other bars and restaurants in 22 are embracing it for him. sonya's idea when you think of glasgow, i bet you probably think of wind and rain. fair enough, but i'm here to tell you as someone from scotland, but the city has more to offer. it actually has some of the most impressive architecture on the continent. we visited a landmark of modern architecture there, the riverside museum designed by the late iraqi british star architect. that ha ha deed

ah, oh, my name's george thompson. i'm the museum manager at that ever say museum in glasgow . please let me tell you the facts about the spouting since 2011. this sight of a former shipyard on the banks of the river, clyde has been home to the new transport museum of scotland, largest city. ah, that ever se museum shows all the history of glasgow bus was transport history on the own test she the ship bowden. the museum building was designed by the iraqi british star architect zahid, who passed away in 20161 of the challenges for sa, how was to create space to increase objects from 1000 to oversee thousands. thus is a reason why it's so hard to say this wove cows that are still i used to stock

as many cows as possible within the museum. the oldest car and the collection dates back to 18. $97.00 to protect the valuable exhibits the large glass fronts are specially coated to minimize sun exposure, and the room temperature is always kept at around 20 degrees celsius. another challenge was, or how was to create a bonus with a self supported science. you can see the flow cones and the museum moto, the idea for this was so we can move launcher objects that owns many, such large objects like double decker buses, and street cars can be found in the riverside museum. the building which is over 20 meters high, even fits a full size steam. locomotive is open in museum of 2011. we found $1300000.00 visitors per year versus a sale as it thus is the most popular display in it, of

a se museum as the old victorian street. so what we said to us, we could, we could images from an shops and glasgow and empty, created the street scene when fust open about and some people apprehensive because there was all off for the old bowden. but once people get in and see no objects is seen how many objects it and, and all the new displays that was very well received over. so the numbers increased in 2013. the riverside museum also received official recognition when it was given the european museum forums museum of the year, a war that ever se museum is very poor. killing blaskowitz fairly well visits. very proud of that. of a said museum, a very happy that people come back table chain like in the jagged construction is meant to symbolize a giant wave that connects the city and the river. the roof alone consists of 24000 zinc panels. the striking building certainly leaves an impression fantastic inside

as well. the ceiling goes, i'm wonderful. i do like it because it's as definitely dufferin compared to lots of elder of odms along the glasgow skylight. the river side is a masterpiece of modern architecture that takes its visitors for a deep dive into the history of the city of glasgow. like a lot of people, i'm quite particular about my coffee. i like a flat white with milk, of course. others prefer black, some with vanilla or carmel, or with a biscuit. but way up in the north of europe, people put something much more unusual in their coffee. we went to lapland to discover the roots of this ancient, and a bit peculiar tradition. the dried reindeer meat and cheese dunked in coffee is maybe one of lap lands most peculiar colon,

every tradition ah, what when i smell it, i smell the coffee of course, but when i tasted of a wish flavor and a little bit creamy from the cheese and then we have the, we have the ranger meet, where the fat it's a little bit salt him and smoke and the fat is just filled of flavor for more than 30 years. ever go naughty, has lived in york mock the center of the sammy culture in sweden. she researches the culinary traditions of the sammy's. the indigenous people of scandinavia have always lived here close to the arctic circle where the temperature often falls below minus 20 degrees celsius. for the people here in the north, it's also always been an to things. it's about keeping warm and it's to get energy

. so of course, sweet things were not easy to to find. but you could always milk of the radio and also the tradition of drying the ranger meet is very, very long and very old. and that it's also, it's, it's good just to have it dry it. but when you put it in the coffee, you get the heat and you get the energy. this is where the coffee cheese is made. in view that m, the farm has about 80 for a swedish breed of mountain cattle that has been threatened with extinction due to its low milk yield for the past couple of years. agricultural specialist gabriella linden has been working with the cows here. the media kit said more fat than in normal comic and it's a special protein which is called cat backus in which makes it very good. she's out of it and it's, i mean that's a tradition also to make this sick cafe,

also the coffee cheese from these say these kaos and this is their own sack me the little of the production starts off like it would with any other cheese. however, the special thing about the coffee cheese is that instead of maturing on the shelves, it's baked in the oven and sometimes even smoked. usually the coffee cheese only has a thickness between one and 3 centimeters. here some 8 red kilos of coffee cheese are produced on a yearly basis. i know when people from other countries have taste the day, they say this is not the cheese. but if it's, if, if a cheese foot as very they from, from others this taste like fresh and creamy milk and little bit sweet, i will say. and then it has, they said when we are chewing on it, like it. and that's where we are very important if you not to hear this noise in

your teeth, it's not coffee cheese. ah, yeah. it's time for a coffee break or a feca, as the sweet say, the average swedish person drinks a lot of coffee more than 3 cups a day. and in the cold of lapland, coffee is best enjoyed and the chris bare freshly brewed over an open fire. as we have this long winter long, sometimes cold and dark windows, as soon as that sky is so clear and that sand the try night we want to be outside. and of course coffee is the most important thing. you don't have that has a much to eat, but coffee, it's very important. call stay and she is a tradition for us. it's like gear and the taste of my childhood. i think about my grandmother and the ground father when i, when i eat her the coffee traditionally the saw me have also enjoyed reindeer meet with their coffee,

easy to carry. the dried meat was always a staple for the nomads. but in the extreme cold, it would sometimes freeze, making it hard to eat without 1st softening it with a warm beverage. when you put the reindeer meat in it and the reindeer meat which is dried and sold the, it gets a little bit of salt, the flavor to the coffee. but then it also gets warm. and when we are cold outside, which we are a lot, many times in the year, it's so nice to have the warm it. so the coffee cheese and reindeer me. a special tradition from the icy cold region of northern europe. ah, don't knock it till you try it. no bird watching is something that my family is rather passionate about. and i can remember my grandfather showing me whooping masses of birds darting through the sky. starling murmur, ations. they're called that way because of the sound of hundreds of wings beating

in the sky. the starlings usually flock at sunset or dusk and are widespread across europe. a danish photographer is dedicated to capturing these fascinating formations. ah, oh, you wait for a week or 2 weeks, nothing happens. but then within a few seconds, everything changes. and suddenly the sky explodes. it is one of the most exciting things i've ever experienced in my life. my name is son, so okay, i'm a danish photographer and my photograph starting memory. sions. as i'm very fascinated by the shapes that make in the sky. when the magic usually happens when the flock of stylish is attacked by birds of prey.

that's a defense mechanism. they create these very organic shapes like these black waves going through the flock. and actually it happened so quickly that you don't even realize sometimes what you've seen this st friesland historic, a known as freeze. yeah, in the northern netherlands saran, sel can travel to from denmark to create his without his series titled back son. i've worked in 6 different countries so far and so i have, i do a lot of research to find out where the birds are. all i can do is research and turn up and then hope for the best i've been out probably 120 days in the last 4 years and i probably have between 5 and 10 very good nights

i so starting memory, since when i was a little kid, my parents took me to the west coast of that mac when i was 10. that was an image that never left me really. and then i did portraits for 25 years and the eyes. suddenly it came to me that i wanted to like go back to, to see though stallings and try to photograph him. ah, but they're in some kind of still takes port traits to. he's photographed. sounds like amy winehouse, a dan the white stripes and be in portraiture has really been my specialty and a something that i've been pretty obsessed with. i've completed 5 different books of portraits of mainly of famous people. the new product,

black son that i've been doing now for a while, is there a difference? it's nature and it's, it's very humbling in the way the heart museum of contemporary art in the danish city of handling dedicated at big exhibitions in his fam, towns in 2021. i haven't moved one single bird and photoshop in this project. i. it's nature and it's nature at its most surreal. these magic moments occur by themselves in nature. who originally saran sol kept plan to spend a week with the stunning, but he has kept a tick now for over all years. every picture is totally different. i have not in 4 years experienced the same motive twice, so that gives me

a great incentive to keep going and that i'm far from done with this project. i think i will keep going for a few more years. that's all for today, but do you go to our website? we're giving away pieces from d, w. 's, uncensored collection, the war and ukraine is also an information war. that's why the label on the sweat shirts and cotton bags has tips on how to access blocked media from around the world. no matter what country you're in for me and the whole team here, thanks for watching and take good care. a with
