7:03 am
tensions can arise. we visit the artist mohammed, dublin, and egypt, who in spite of government repressions ruins, the caricature museum and we examined the role images played at 1972 munich olympics when a terrorist attack shot the world. but 1st, we meet the ukrainian conductor and asked her what it means to make art during war . ah, one of ukraine's most famous musicians is back in germany. on a linear is in firewood just one year after she became the 1st female conductor to perform here at the esteemed classical music festival. that the wound has since changed. that this is really a tragedy. and i think this tragedy affects everyone,
7:04 am
not only people living in ukraine, but every pass and he stands for you, p and values, democratic values and humanistic values that the democrat dish about the whole my knees dish of out there, state my neck, are my entire family is in ukraine, or of course it affects me to have better off. i worry about my family every day. oregon on mine, the anger hurt again. mm. rushes. war of aggression weighs heavily only knave here and by roach, to suppose to concentrate on her art. while back at home, bombs are falling and people are dying there, sir, but that is all. this also affects us as artists very strongly anymore because at some point she begin to have doubts about art and, and even humanistic values there and, and human istation. and we're helped without that. but let me keeps on despite these doubts, and she points for her beloved homeland in her own way. like shortly after the russian invasion at
7:05 am
a solidarity concert for ukraine in bologna. ah, at the beginning of 2022, the name became the chief conductor and bolona. she's the 1st woman to head, the italian opera house there. her orchestra plays music by ukrainian composer. you reship jenko. it's one of the many concerts for ukraine she is conducted since the war began. ah, this is emma, and i says emotionally, it's extremely difficult unless you look for an explanation it, but for me it's been helpful to remind myself that there were also was and revolutions in the 18th and 19th century on 9th, in the island that garbus could. he go on that i will later on and yet about that there were also all of these great composers who are still relevant to us to day 11
7:06 am
st. and who had the idea of saving people here. it day of saving humana, a height that had been captain. something asana you needs managed to save was her passion project. the ukrainian youth orchestra, founded by her in 2016. i tried dog, unhappy done in 2 days i'd organized as im, called with the youth orchestra foster. at least it was terrible to see how my musicians i had these wonderful young, talented people who we've gathered from all over ukraine into one orchestra. to see these people have always looked me straight in the eyes when playing music. now exposed to this mortality, martin, you directing. and in some cases in life threatening situations is a brutally dad. yet the advise of it least lebrands, but broad. l. d 's his own qualifies. the zoom call was a shock for me and for some were calling from bunkers or basements mine she was offered. some said that they couldn't unpack their violin yet, have been monday because maybe they wouldn't have the 5 minutes to packets away again,
7:07 am
like that. i still need it because every 10 minutes there are sirens and rocky to dogs. in milton gib, sir said n on the academy. oh, luckily, most of the youth orchestra musicians were able to leave the country and continue to receive lessons beneath, also toured with them in europe. one emotional highlight was playing maria city by salt on a mazda from key iv dedicated to the victims of the bombing of the mario pou theater said to contact involving your let my last consent in bolona, i performed beethoven's 9th symphony at should. it was unsettling to reread shala's lyrics act where it says it, all people become brothers, aha, amend. at the end, it says that the shouldn't be tyrants or executioners on hancock against tyrants
7:08 am
and dictators like great artists of the past. osama linny will not give up for 1970 to munich. olympics were supposed to be the happy games, but the terrorist attack on the israeli team turned them into a tragedy capture to broadcast. but the press. what role did the media coverage play more than 30 years after the end of the nazi era? the 1972 olympics and munich was supposed to be an opportunity for the young federal republic of germany to present itself as a modern open and cosmopolitan democracy. germans wanted to show that the nation responsible for the holocaust had changed for the better. no dempsey wouldn't him anger for people in germany were so looking forward to getting some recognition from the world they hoped as if they were really gratified enthusiastic and proud as that's good. oh, the design of the 1972 games was
7:09 am
a clear departure from the marshal. look of the last olympics. germany had hosted in 1936 when soldiers had marched for and saluted hitler, witless favorite director. lenny reference style delivered the desired aesthetics complete with steely strong bodies and heroic poses the 1972 games and to show that was history. the country was proud to welcome thousands of athletes from a 121 countries in the specially built olympia pod ah, poor, he's i. the architecture was meant to symbolize that and especially as it offers a striking contrast to balance olympic stadium. bang berlin, 1936 olympic stadium was an imposing edifice that embodied did not sysmic la mania . this is its airy counterpart built for the 1972
7:10 am
games that babylon. the stadium in munich was even described as a modern tent riff, and as a tent for stack, as that might only be in town for a short time before leaving the city again. i left that file. it was supposed to symbolize lightness and transience in courts by and is tied them bullies yet. the roof appears to float weightlessness over the top. it's transparent and elegant design reflected the game spirit as event. and tom, if you think of the brightly colored seeds and even the flags in green and blue, the whole visual conception of the olympic games vital that will, i'd say this design really captures the image and they wanted to present. i las vegas both permitted a visionary logo park posters and plenty of personal tones that stood in stark contrast to the nazis color schemes. the design of the pictograms was cutting edge and there was the cute little mascot,
7:11 am
but excellent cloudy. the uniforms of the limbic hostesses were from the same color palette, including a modern joyful blue shallow took no props. daughter, a young jewish high school graduate, worked as a hostess to her though of these it, she got this beautiful light blue suit on the young lady's duties involved looking after the guests of cleveland. it was a very nice job and she got to know a lot of people. she was very happy with well for the young people. it was great, a kind of journey out into the world and david and the world was watching. never had so many reporters flocked to a sporting event. it's spectacular days were meant to be seen by everyone. the world was invited to munich and ready to accept germany again including israel. even athletes whose families were victims of the holocaust made their way to munich. for the israeli team, it was a, it was
7:12 am
a hugely symbolic gesture just to go. and i think it was maybe one of the 1st times that a at a sizable israeli sporting contingent had gone to germany to complete and so on. i think the, i think that i think, you know, the germans were very aware of that high, symbolically important. this was and he is, had a alicia falling to see an israeli flag over the olympic stadium in munich after such a relatively short time really was a sensation and his and everything was working. and if at the elephant, any of it was thought restrictive security plan might dampen this euphoria and nothing was supposed to recall german militarism and the police station. no one wanted to hear the experts, warnings, although there was evidence of possible attacks. and so on september 5th, palestinian terrorists were able to enter the olympic village unhindered. the tara group at black september held 11 members if the israeli team hostage in their own
7:13 am
rooms and shot 2 of them for the assailants principal demand, the release of more than $200.00 palestinians, most of whom were imprisoned in israel. negotiations with the german government went no way as the terrorist attempted to fly away with the hostages. the situation escalated into a fierce fire fight. when it was over 5 palestinian terrorists were dead. but so were the 11 israeli athletes, the german policeman. ah, at the memorial service, avery brundage, president of the international olympic committee stated the game buffalo. it was a highly controversial decision. in the end, it was a refusal to bow to terrorism and defense at the olympic ideal as the world looked on. because a 1000000000 view, as in 98 countries were watching live, it was an unprecedented media spectacle. and as
7:14 am
if to negotiating with i me the 12 months, even though it was the start of a new era of multi media there, founded in the 1970s sales of t. v has got a huge boost due to be olympics, as, as you can really see how the sporting events increase sales of color. debbie's especially guided us hop founded of a 4000 reporters, were on site nearly twice as many as in mexico, 4 years before. and they reported live to a world audience morning, noon and night, that set an ideal stage for the attackers, allowing them to forcibly redirect the global spotlight onto the middle east conflict. like an attack, after the attack, the town of september's members said, attacking the vatican or the white house wouldn't have given us the same media attention as the olympic games did. because the press was already on site. they were already there. i live, i'm from around the wild devonne national life stuff by an international audience
7:15 am
was already gathered in front of the t v's. and i was watching at the, and the terrorists and take advantage of that time and found the f as i'm it is. and that's what the games will well underway when the 1st reports of the crisis in the olympic village came trickling out. no one knew what to make of the situation. neither the organizes nor the reporters. from today's perspective, that's really hard to imagine. the games were carrying on in the stadium at the same time as there was this hostage crisis, just hundreds of meters away. there was a dead athlete lying in the, in one of the apartments there emitted a few 100 yards from that, from, from where the games were continue. they had never been a scenario. anything like it in the history of life reporting broadcast is around the world, switched back and forth between the sports events and the hostage crisis. journalist scramble to secure the best spot. but reliable information was still hot
7:16 am
to come by. shallow took no block, found after the media that as a hostess on the olympic side, her daughter could be in danger to se wyatt from dick. she was already gone. when i heard on the radio, how there had been an attack. and they couldn't report any more details. on march 23, it is finished. i cried because that news didn't give you the slightest idea what was going on. and they didn't know of it is something else coming. what's going to happen? that's why. it wasn't until the evening that the call came. shall not his daughter was safe, but for the relatives of these riley athletes, the night man continued. most of the journalists were sports reporters, entirely overwhelmed. they provided running commentary on the events following every step. even the positions of the snipers, we see the footage of the police on the rooftops going closer to their dress like
7:17 am
athlete said case they're seen there. you are. just look at their athletes on the roof. why they would be out on the roof. i don't know, but then at a certain point we realize that the palestinians can see them on television, and that the germans have forgotten to tell the television stations to stop filming . as asked who the terrorists had found out that side as we're getting in position 3, press coverage and reacted to that information. and that's when it dawned on everyone . okay, we have to do something. we can't just sit back and keep rolling our cameras and basically give the terrorists the heads up. yet the journalist remained on the scene of the 1st live act of terrorism to be broadcast around the world. even as a hostage situation progressed into a knee by military, airport members of the media swarmed the area, making it difficult for the special task force to get through. this too took place before rolling cameras around midnight. a government spokesman wrongly announced
7:18 am
that all the terrorists were dead, and all hostages had been rescued. his source, a false report from an international news agency, a mistake that hasn't been explained to this day. 3 hours later, the terrible truth emerges, all 11 israeli hostages had been killed. the massacre left the world stunned, bringing shame and embarrassment to the german authorities involved. so many people ended up dead largely because of the bad handling of it by the german authorities. but this was the tick really tragic because it was in front of the world. you know, the whole world was we was watching this whole were was holding their breath. ah, the trauma of munich still echoes through the collective consciousness. 50 he is on the scars remain. the he is asthma like that. a very brundage quote on the games must go on, be that there is such an images that dominate our collective memory of that event
7:19 am
along. and those are a product of the media does not the of media like this image, a photo of a terrorist on the balcony than they it's, he does that. i'll alice good. if you look at the hollowed out eyes and the very straight lines it is. and that those evoke feelings of deaf orders for drama, the anthea, anchor vida, as fact, even now they reflect the feelings people associate with the attack. it is not. in fact, a boom filmmaker, kevin mcdonald, felt the tragedy of september. the 5th had all the elements of a thriller. these academy award winning documentary is compiled entirely from archive footage. i wonder if you could make a documentary using all real material. real people, though, actually also operated like a thriller, but told a story like a thriller. we're finding so much archive footage everywhere in the world, india, japan,
7:20 am
i think in the film to something like 50 countries present during his meticulous research, mcdonald found countless inconsistencies code his documentary raised some uneasy questions with decision makers in germany. and i done with it done as the minister, i think i have to go to look for what the producers doing. and then i went to the captain of the or use a company there as a do something that didn't do anything. i have not the film shows the disastrous entanglement, but in german politics and mass media at the time. germany trying to show the world that it's changed that you know, you can have a totally pacifists peaceful games where even the, the police officers were dressed in these blue hurry, he kind of welcoming new uniforms. so they didn't look militaristic. and then this event happens. and everyone phrases like a like a rabbit,
7:21 am
caught in the headlights because it's the worst possible thing that can happen. a tragedy. inadvertently facilitated by germany's desire to show the world, it was a democratic and rehabilitated country. from munich, we go to cairo, where we meet an artist who finds inspiration out of the streets who doesn't shy away from being political. and it was just awarded to good to metal cairo, a megacity built from concrete and the dreams of 20000000 people. now, how much of la chronicles life here on paper and canvas, his portraits of people from ordinary residence to the powerful, are depicted with affection and humor. they have a complexity like it find in a graphic novel organ many, even though it okay as sure is are very important. and my work stories are essentially what my arts about tele medicine. what motivates me to paint my own fan
7:22 am
that will knock a sentence of metaphor for a joke. there's always a story behind bob in it. mohammed upland knows to city light the back of his hand. in his studio in downtown cairo, he feels its pulse. he observes the way people move about their lives in 2011 when the masses talked to the streets for pro democracy protest. during the spring, ablow was there to demonstrations, converged a tally of square document by uplift. from a boots on perspective, he depicted the hope of the people as a hidden object to pitch again. and then i'm going to pin i was on top here square . when i painted there, you will, the 2 pictures on display here, or from 2007 before the revolution and from 2011. we've been been in the hotel for me. the revolution was not a surprise, nor was the fact that talk here,
7:23 am
square became the central setting. i was able to predict a been like a prophecy, jagger, the that i'm currently schafer abnormal, correct? not far from tufty a square in of boston street. the good to institute is a key making place for artists for subaru. my im, the institutes library has always been important pillar of her artistic education. she's a former student of mohammed abdulla, and often stops by. for decades, the good to institute in cairo has been a place where art had space to breathe, especially in restrictive times like things. the view from the institute on to tuffy is square, says is motivation for the future. to declare t from in kyle, is this for the greatest people of hi rose. this is an historic and very important place. hoyt, we're very happy that we've managed to create this space on boost tom street. edwin, because these days there are very few venues for performances or places for artists
7:24 am
or civil society groups to gather. hm. dot com. you can go there, rehearse their meet up and be a little bit under the radar into them. ha das sign. it's our way of giving a little something from our side line. it's something that has perhaps sorely needed in egypt. up a moment. this on desk at pope the t. n. a could p. mohammed oblong korea has spent almost 50 years because his always championed and supported emerging artists. the community looks up to him. artists like allah, abdullah, he is currently exhibiting here in the access art space. for this work, his embellished bowls that he used to mix cement with cave paintings. he draws his inspiration from the city streets. keidel have the services you me thing in the cafe is. so we all need to make this connection 1st before you and get on the art spaces or art centers. it's all in rich moments on motivations. we're. we are a, we used to have
7:25 am
a we find the common things between us to file now a 100 kilometers to the west of cairo. on a weiss's, when mohammed abra established the fine art center, he will say founded a museum for caricature elissia. the 1st of its kind in the arab world. egypt has a rich history of political caricature going back to the 1880 bought while they used to be many satirical magazines. this tradition has faded away and they couldn't get their math egg already cartoons, need freedom. but at the moment journalistic freedoms are being curtailed. most newspapers and magazines are owned by the government can home. so that's why it's not the best time for cartoonists right now. it's going to get it. many have stopped working altogether. the content bottle, you have some will,
7:26 am
all of my been smooth every, he had a fine art center hosts a winter academy where artists from all over the world living what together for several weeks in recognition of his multifaceted work, mohammed outlet is one of these. he is recipients of the good to middle, this prestigious german culture price means a great deal to him. his wife, his swiss, and his children grow up in germany, egypt and switzerland. his daughter nura works as his curator and adviser. she's also involved in q in the athletic submission as part of the good metal awards ceremony in via add feel gamma. he's done so much, not just for himself, but for an entire earth community. the bible, i think it's important for him to have his family there we in and i think it's important for us to it's not always easy to be the child of an artist. it's a wonderful moment for us as well to see that it's all been worth while oscar had to buy some emitter, an island in the nile,
