a search of the extraordinary we are the specialists over lifestyle, europe, bureau, mac, in 60 minutes on d, w. a . what people have to say matters to us. for me. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend upon d, w. those kinds of phase of space as one of africa nods is art gallery and has been synonymous with pushing boundaries. an odds and design, the evarado reads yet to read the pros, but location to bring you as because been in fashion, food, and divide we find out how the traditions are on the co has become the

monica of a young woman and one. we also traveled to london since then how and i fear and design brightens up public spaces. i'm. i ended up, it's a and this is that through megs oh ah, ah. the prize and colorful congo material comprises of anything from illustrations to abstract patterns originating from east africa. the fabric is culturally significant and was often given to women on this occasion. fashion design, i read must be got as a model that kind of telling a compelling story through her. she creation i just look at nature, nature, never. can i be yellow? can i grow a bit taller?

you know, so it's just like the universe decides in nature. doreen machine guy is one of the most recognizable residents of the island of zanzibar profession. brand of the same name is inspired by for healy culture and the sights and sounds of this beautiful island that she calls home loans and some to day i will buy a sample. i love them maybe tomorrow or the day after. i can come and pick the rest . i decided to set the chic in the hottest stone towns and because number one, its whole number to its american ford of different cultures. and this is definitely the way i really draw my inspiration from either from local people or even tourists who visits on beautiful island than to buy the land of many contrasts. old and the new traditional and modern coexist side by side and nonchalant hominy. this wonderful island is the perfect backdrop,

the doings vibrant and colorful designs. i always look for those 3 things, history, culture and heritage. and you will see that in our designs, that we use the very famous fabric known as conga congo designs always uses the mode of communication in the past. and even today, you would see that, you know, the congress, as you saw, that you know, some of them are quite fast, you know, and some of them have words of encouragement. for example, the congo that i was actually working on today has something to say about, like, you know, it's talking about hoping that this will becomes peaceful. so it's really sometimes about the moment we present africa to the world by assuring that we stayed true to the textile and its origin and weight comes from. so for example, you see in our design we kept the wording of the congress and it brings back,

brings the conversation where wherever i go, because 1st of all is for healy. and people ask me, why do have these words and i tell them what it means in our culture, in that is used as a mode of communication, especially for women. because in some parts of my society, women can be very vocal. so when you have a message on the congo, it's a way of maybe telling something to your neighbor or your husband or to your mother in law. torino designs fair as signature island feel. they are light breezy and a wash with color and print. they paid bold homage to her african roots. i can tell the story of zanzibar in fashion so you would see that sometimes we would incorporate some hand work that is very popular here. you'd find it maybe on the fisherman boss kit. and i also take color with me,

but it also take the congo print with me and express it where it's on the born and raised in time veneer. doreen michigan lead to spend time in switzerland, studying and working. she is now part of a going home bound african diaspora actually started from switzerland where i used to work in private banking. and i was involved together with in a team that was into luxury good. so was already exposed to the design in the west, and we went to milan. i had the chance to meet at that time, the creative directors of good, she, you know, and all the sessions in okay, let's try and fold this very quick and see what it looks like. because i always like to wear my clothes, like i just stay with short sleeves. it's very hot in volleyball court. the patent mixing part of an expected colors is the most effective part of design effect is to

me it's fun and simple, but i can understand that to others is complicated. i would really like to percival inspire more and more people to be very bold and go out there and do what they want. whether is fashion or are. but we would like to make sure that we have a wider footage in the continent. and of course, also around the world, re imagining spaces and turning them into playful, provocative. aquatic sash is what you get. you, laurie specializes in, inspired by his childhood stories and nigeria andrews. we caught up with him to take a look at his recent legs. this colorful installation is called implants. we trust the work of british nigerian designer inca laurie can be found in london's mayfair district. he laurie had a mission but wanted to throw in chris that was

a safe space place of let reflection meditation using plants and green greenery. so come here, sit down for the conversation, reflect, read whatever you want to do, but just been around in our green space the london and loves working with bright, vibrant colors, his installation called happy street in southwest london, brighton's of a gloomy space under her railway bridge he wants to bring more positivity to dull urban spaces when i create an installation on misty though it's it, it's my i have ownership at work, but when it goes into for the space that has belonged to in and we're belongs to the people from that in they are able to kind of in a crate their own narrative and you know, the fabric of that were, becomes, of the, one of one of the community. and also it kind of gives those people sensors you know, belonging and was successful proud of their environment. you know,

he's produced countless installations for art galleries and events like this playground for adults during the 2019 con film festival link is always bursting with new ideas. one will not walk in the public work. you know, just us where my like, how is cell and why i love to in most because i get to sort of design and leave it . and then just seen people's reaction to his point. inca, the son of nigerian immigrants launched his design career in 2011 when he reinvented 2nd hand chairs giving them a multi colored make over. much of his work is inspired by the stories and west african fabrics from his childhood attorneys. he is kind of is based around of who i am, i think as a kid of always full. i was living with 2 license, you coaches in a british much urine. and, and i love both coaches, both with coaches. but how do i celebrate? and i think the best way we'll see was to do it through furniture. so take those

narratives to i was kind of, you know, told while i was young and on i love trying to re tell them in my own way. you can kind of jumped up these crockery designs in 2020 during the 1st quarter and a virus locked down. my obsession of colors is definitely send that spin narrative to my mom and dad. i was wondering when my mom, whether she get her inspection, california was oversee from her mom because it's been passed on to, to mom over on his passions. me. hello just yes sir. it's something that's just yeah, it makes me for positive and good positive feelings in the urban jungle, whether by day or night in laurie makes london more colorful. and that is something many appreciate oh, the latest addition to the ever odd reads gallery is this impressive building. so we are close over into the streets of children. oh,

i'm here to amuse is marked to find out more about this wonderful space. ah luck. what odds are disputed? yeah, i and i never knew easiest name to remember talking to you because yeah, exactly. no nursing. well, just to a slightly bigger picture is the way the world works for me as a contemporary art dealer. is that sometimes i chase and sometimes they find me and where i and if it's in some strange place between the 2 and that i've been aware of his work for a long, long time with quite frankly, with to nervous of it. yeah. yeah. his, i can understand why his subject matter sometimes was extraordinarily tough. and i thought that that was probably an area that would be best undertaken,

but of the galleries. but i kinda decided, years ago that no, that wasn't the way it was going to be. he was going to come here. and so finally, towards the end of last year, he said these come to my studio and destro hanging in the studio. ah, and i sat down in front of it as i still do with the 3 here. and i was rated speechless and i said, i get it completely. you need to show in this building, he wanted to show in circuit circuit. this is aisha structure. it's really good for pushing powerful objects concentrates to energy on, on central objects, on big pictures. why fi to this particular one?

i think that ah, not only what we perceive as being a cool, contemporary art and whatnot. art is a, is a window into the soul of any nation or culture. if you look at the ancient greeks, we know how they felt and we know what the aspirations through that ah, it's the same as with the addictions. we know more about the egyptians through the art that they created by far than any other medium and all the way through the renaissance. we know about the tragedies, the fall nations such as the demise of spain as a world power. because of the artist like el greco, the less because we know what it was like to be

a french person in the court of louis the 14th through the arts of the era. art is more than de cool. art is a very clear window into what the people feel about the country, whether it's the sense of confusion with confidence, authentic pleasure, all of the above shows in the us and in all day the contemporary off of south africa. in your opinion, why is it important that space is like this? this is a special building, and we've been careful about the program here. it's not a, it's not a factory where we have short shows and lots of them. expressions on for a long time here, and we try and have it as a distilled collection of what we perceive as being the front rank painters and sculptors of this year. and so the africa

food a great atmosphere and cutting its design, what more could do for one of kenya's new. * spots is doing it all and adding kind of us into the mix and then will it take us on the journey to show everything it's experienced? take a look. this is definitely the place to be welcome. can i, roby kitchen, i located in the heart of kenneth capital in the western neighborhood. this unique space is much more than just one of the must experience. places in kenya is no real big kitchen. it much just some of the best known she could concepts from across the world, into

a thoughtfully curated local and social. what know ruby soup kitchen has done is it has brought international food and drinks to our doorsteps. not only making it accessible, but also creating a love around international and exotic food options. i am unwilling remarks and i will be telling you exactly what the hype is about and why you should be visiting this beautiful state. come into the opening in june 2021. this would market over the variety of trees, both for the eyes and the pilot. welcome gave me your last name. but before i have the food, i have to take us as will be the kitchen style. i am now going to meet pfizer who is the general manager at narrow kitchen and also one of the brains behind the

conference. so let's go the unwelcome i always did you think you are making exactly. yeah. revenue growth? yes. for sure. so far, so good outside the pool or yeah, come to see what's inside. so you were in what is the market section? now overshoot kitchen is the brainchild and project assistance and i will be elliana and lisa and they had a vision to create something here. and i will be, that was an offering to this vibrant, beautiful color for you that we live in, moving in a less formal direction. so that's why we have 7 different seats with market concepts, which of us so service. so in the, in one sense, it's a way to interact with people who are 7, we're not talking to you about how we've tried to of cycle recycle, reuse materials, and what we've created in the face. so this all can be we found it behind and go, ah, and the 1st object here was another story for another day. the margarita company is

an old volkswagen bus hopes, coaches, and all my talk to the local is in an old 1900. 60 leland bus that we food from the industrial side of nairobi, if you see the bars covenant who uses because that is yet another thing that we have tried to do in the creation of nairobi, she could is to make this space and the building more than just food and beverage, but also a platform for the arts. so as you come in, there's a space which is a designated gallery for artist. you can come and hung pictures on things in this building should be able to develop those things or for a space where artists have an opportunity to really read it. official, someone feel hungry up to so much art me to time to go back to chef that we have our very own bit specific bitter body. that means i love that not,

not the normal paper. it's normally comes in over the shift to differentiated from the rest of the paper. how long have you done this? by the way, i've been doing pizza for the last 7 years. so for this bit though, we use our clean out clean course. it's basically point galaxy and do some well that i like this, then we'll do the muscle, the pete that takes a 5 minutes. it would be great. thank you so much. i can't wait to try that for now i'm gonna hit so special tough. all done guys. that i did. oh, i don't think i'd like to. i didn't think i'd like you to,

but i love it. i'd be white by little with you guys. my conclusion for an escape, it's worth a visit, especially to like to explore something the great playwright. that's all, brad said. it is not a mirror how up to society, but the hammer with which the faith, like many of the pieces. yeah. how much this away so south between tradition and the contemporary world through tracking. most of them to pick think the growth strength and transformation of cause. the title of my work is one to 3 block myself . it comes from a game, hide and seek. basically. we to play when read my maternal grandmother's house. my name is called car mass, i'm a sculptor primarily but a multi discipline the limbo born and raised in on it. how much is

a contemporary artist specializing in scouts? she depicts religion, culture and identity through her work. from the big tribe she merges the modern with the traditional and works exclusively through the symbolism of the sacred cow . my name is actually called her law much about my c low birth given name, my mommy who called me call call when i was younger. so the car port kind of stuck to me when i was old, i decided i'm going to go in with the call later on i realize the spelling of the o w. but the problem, because i'm a female and naming myself call even though it had nothing to do with the they're all good to have connotations that are put on the call. nobody could call me back because i was a healthy called in. and the spots on my face didn't matter because cause of body and the size of my family know didn't matter because the big nose. but it was also my question to reclaim the name and have it as my own. so i fully embody call,

and after doing that, my experience and being in the world calling myself call, that kind of fizzled into my eyes making. what stands out for me is this how prominent that is within our practices, within the slaughter family gatherings, bringing people together and the most significant being how the cows, the bridge between the ancestral plane and our through cow matrix was calm. i was trying to situate herself between tradition and the contemporary world . she creates these is listen to that and cultural words you into move combining various fabrics to me. i have been working as an awesome supposedly just under 10 years now. i think it started off as a longing to be more connected to the culture. so i pulled some very nostalgic objects that out from my grandmother's house and things that reminded me of home.

and in essence, reminding me of my culture as well. so we have a thing on me which means god with the with nose. and for me i think that embodies just how powerful the call is within the, within our culture. all my processes are very meditative. and the meditative part starts before the actual sculpting. the putting together the word i use a variety of materials but pacifically, synthetic, ca hides various synthetic fibers in the beginning it was because i felt that i was removed from a cultural space, the being a goal that grew up in the suburbs. it felt as if i couldn't use a real cowhide because i'm maybe not as connected to cause as my cousin who lived in the home. and i think that now this is terry material. so developing into a thing of showing how culture transforms and how it isn't stagnant, even though the potency of it is kept. and the ritual of a discount is

a change that happens that is developing with the time by it's used to be using black and right as a color palate. calling to elevate black from negative color perception to take his rightful place as an affirmative color. in my work i use a lot the other for me speaks to a very gender and part of the call. not only does it represent the old providing this of the car and how it all is giving soon with a woman right to always giving always expected to at some stage. this is a new and recently started learning how to use land i found out during, during this that my grandmother used to make mad using a type of this machine. and somehow it connects me back to my culture and the ways that my grandmother used to do stuff. how the techniques in her works and meditative misses are a means of self contemplation, healing and finding

a sense of belonging. her pieces have rich african history. and each piece tells a great story. recently, how modern and contemporary recreations have attracted the international market. good. i'm at and i rock sculpture park, where i have displayed the specific work was in response of the title, good neighbors. and what the idea of good neighbors is. so what came to me was a memory of my grandmother's house. so with a cow comes back again into the ideal to slaughtering that happens in a function is happening when your neighbors come around and everybody gathers within the same household. so i have this vision of the cow skin hanging on the, on the washing by and at the back of my grandmother's yard. so for me that was almost as if the skin is capturing the images of the whole environment. and each, each watching binder presents

a family and in that way they're presenting labor to each other, call mattias work on the part of the realm of existence. the washing line tend to be quite a public space. there's something interesting and exploring what is a common space versus a private space in the modern day, my work as well as my physical appearance or the dig both tie in together in be its own version of the culture that is still there. but just inspired by culture, but also there within itself. most african cultures continue the expression, cultural beliefs through the odds. african odd has played a significant role in shaping the culture and history of the world. how much is getting her word internationally recognized while staying true to her baby? thank you for joining me as the so case,
