a class and gotten up all the way to hollywood. find out how this modern dance group has more than just entertaining the audience. and later, how to turn a skeptic into our super mall with this delicacy. i understand it's a and this is that re max. oh, oh. the council is states a called a professor is and is taking hold all over the continent. we visit the latest prints data for his new form of art. in the art of cyrus had bureau, discarded technology is given new life. abandoned radios becomes space, age communication devices, or rac things. here bicycles called black members,

are turned into sculptures that could have been left here by an alien civilization . the series of eye glasses called c standards made people who are famous, constructed from trash collected on his travels. there are mash up of different cultural traditions. to me after that is that for future late it's a combination of different culture. different material will differ from like global but to have something new currently. a little more awfully. can they, this new law is you know, it's more awful feature kind or canyon photographer, osborne cerio, reimagined, kenya's, legendary mouth independence fighters as high tech opticians who helped over throw colonialism from a korea afro futurism is about reimagining an african past either stolen or for

god with all the african countries apart from utopia were colonized and people didn't get to settle, see that history to see themselves in the history. or a lot of that history was more to documented or was altered these heroic images to find the mostly negative view of africa seen in western media. this will have issues, but our issues don't have to revolve around over to me from my disease war. the stories that we can tell that sort of given different perspectives, my walkman, elizabeth, bold, gold, feel confident. the message of financial is a b, a boy's perception of africa across the continent in a boucher nigeria, afro futurism is also taking root. a new generation of african artists is looking at their own culture from a new angle, hummel's book artist, a, u. d g ma kinda credits black panther up with god before now has been known to be

probably a 3rd world country. um and then black paint that brings each $2.00 to $4.00 phone at a war to power. that is completely loaded with technology. it was mind blowing africans everywhere with wow, black panther might have brought half ro futurism to the mainstream. but mckinney believes the next wave of storytelling will be homegrown. that way we'll talk about, apropos. chosen, it is alike, up into fixture of 4 fi, think technology science fiction ish, an african natalia just african traditions and african culture. the culture. denise toler, jesus, i'm more or we do not know $24.00 because we are more connected with whether in

comics, movies, music, or design, the art of afro futurism combines tradition with imagination, provision, a brighter future for africa and the world, ah, ah, good temporary african design to practical application, it's our yard is a commercial have and social development projects. this precinct appreciates nature . people modern design and attention to detail transforming what was a derelict industrial space into a trendy functional had. he's a what happens at victoria? ok, it's hard to do it in just a little bit, but i'll do my best. it's. there's actually a lot of layers to victoria, you know we, we have meaningful community engagement skills transfer and for food sustainability . but one of the main things about victoria that we really like to boast about is our gardens. okay, so all of our gardens organic and we produce

a lot of greenville leverage things like that in the community actually coming and are able to buy it from us at obviously hugely reduced prices. so we work with the tenants to make sure that they employ people from the community when they can to give them meaningful employment, gainful employment, and also to transfer skills to them. so besides all of that is also things like we have events that we see that we have on a monthly basis and we have a market that we have on a monthly basis. so it's a huge hybrid kind of thing of community members from the outside. but then also the victorians community that works really closely together. what influenced the decision to face it here? well, the buildings have always been. so basically we, we became involved in 2016 and when i say we the, the company victoria arms with 4 been so the original sort of part of it was it for to be

a community way. people could work with each other and sort of have an understanding that they could create something by working together. tell me a little bit about the support that deter you as if the japan is so that's, it's really important question because people around lorenzo. i mean it's, you know, it's become a quite a depressed area in terms of economic opportunity for people in the area. so we live very closely with some of the n g that we, that we house at victoria yards. they've got a podcast room. they've got very fast internet and so young people can come in and obviously use the internet for research and it, but they do it under the guidance of makers, valleys, to teach them entrepreneurial skills and also boost the ideas that they have and try and make it from you know, theory into practical use. i think one of the biggest challenges with getting people buy in to become tenants here. i think because

a lot of them came here or few people came here in the beginning and looked at what was here for nothing that you see in terms of the gardens of the pathways was here . it was just all you know, eroded soil and everything. so getting people to come in was was interesting. what can people take away when they leave a career yard at the moment when people visit victoria yards they, i think the 1st thing that they will probably be inspired by the gardens because it's a very visual thing that i see. and a lot of people engage with us to say, how can we do that? how can we do that? can you teach us about because she, which is a so ill culture that enriches the soil. some people have said to me, you know, they really like the sense of community that they feel it. people who want to be tenants come here and they like, i can't be here and i'm like, i don't a face at the moment, you know, but we'll put you on the list. we looking at expanding victoria on to the property that we own next door. and that's why we're excited about the development across

the river because to be able to open that up to to everybody else. so yeah, i think people walk away here with the same. so feeling like they've been the community for a few hours. that's important. ah, the st goes another day in africa and that, that done. but what tom landon and his troop, the finest dance goes much deeper than just entertainment. miss the what lies beneath the dance move without don, i don't know why i would be right now. i think it's so important for you to know means you're not new, you're good. somewhere along the line, you will need to show people where you come from. that's what makes you original. that's what will make me different if i'm dancing in africa is the continent that is rich in colleges and traditions and central to this is the vibrant tradition of

dime as in other parts of the world. traditional don's how just storing renown that we can car younger and performer. tom landon had used his talent to few traditional buns and it was our don form creating a unique and richly cultured contemporary guns. busy when we started finance and 77, i love my dad. and while i was, you know, getting over, trying to find a coping, my kind of them with really my father. i live then lost my mother, 2008. african johns is centered dances give themselves to the rhythmic pulses of they've done interpreting the potential patches of the music through their post churches and step funds, allies, you know, it's a very fast paced top or something that we call the pedal power. so basically, it's a way of how they jump to attain all the changes. so the same have

a pen and paper movement is how they should be done when they should be done thing as fun. so are you from the township of good there for the long and dead on your own kind of gave birth to his poor job because when you look at prosper, yes, very technical by the majority of the technique or how we move on to. and then now lukia's, when you watch, you see all basically like a generation of, of dances. it's more like mary's now, you know, the come, how do you come in one. so they all, you know, things that we literally relate to are not country folk but and until the 3rd, i think it all depends on who you either clarify and how in touch with you or so i

think they're very i mean when you look at how dances now you know, it now being very huge of social media and so it becomes very difficult for the old had to i just because these are the things that the young generation i live today extending very well. and, you know, that's why i think its idp has all generations also teach the young, you know, the basics of what done, you know, i think what's a bad, it's interesting because a lot of times initially we didn't even need music the same issue, you know, as always, you know, with or trying to bring in one because on the floor. so that's how we make knowing families and i've been family connect, you know, some people might call it connecting with that's how we come together. and you never find that anywhere else except in africa. so i just,

i said it's very important a come from if they saw it with, with in many traditional culture. music and don is as much a part of everyday life as king. john had been one of many forms of expression, storytelling, and enjoyment across the country. when it is said that the present only contains the prize. and today african cultural dime has grown, evolved, and spreads out to world. aah, dinah, a fee as if he is a non for his figure to inspire design pieces which provide bold and unique accessories to touch up says move, check this out in the line to write the star.

it will always glorify the hand. so and so we are able to tell are almost everything the way that we knew it won't be had in a way that the shoes. now every used to be legal tender, so was very valuable. the way this designer has modernized, still, i will tell you, blowing me away. it's so beautiful, ah, garner is well known for its rich cultural heritage. not only displaced with vibrancy of cities like a class, but also your creative work of many who live here. ah, one such person as if she well known for her way, f, necesary designer book creates wearable art 70 roots at an african tradition. and lots of africans, rhonda old who are trying to connect back to the arrows in different concrete,

not just africa. so combining different african pieces from different countries to help project and then be connected even if you're not gone in and you get a piece, you know, this piece is coming from nigeria. yeah. able to connect to that has been africa that projects the image of africa and a desire for the past 10 years. a fear has money to turn out creative pieces that tend to redefine what more designs look like. ah, these are some of the sheets of print that 1st ah, ah, the unmade, international headlines, one had designed, was seated in the hollywood blockbuster coming to america. coming to america, i received a meal introducing themself and what they wanted to do with the pieces. i 1st i

thought for this come because our thing, dana and i was not all that moon after sending the design, there was no communication. so i was like, ok, maybe i lost, maybe i didn't, i was just lazy and then where the movie was out. my name was that i was so excited about the whole thing and how far they had gone the african fashion and artifacts. we use our lots, x pool is the new way that is supposed to be in a doctor. so pain, the facts. we create new designs because they don't get time. what is used for will be used for something new will come when they incorporate that in the fashion it because their lifestyle. and it continues who's advocates ready was her latest collection known as i am africa, which features at several exhibitions and one way in dubai. and europe,

africa, collection, that's we, of course, that's african ism and power as the african in us. we are the send mass of greece people. and we need to know who we are and accept. we, wherever you go, wherever you travel around the world, you go as an individual, but you are an african, wherever you find yourself, you represent to all africa. ah, a few small but creative team before they go out to shoot her shows for peace from i am africa in the streets of our car. i know you kill this. so let me clear. make africa proud. ah, my book is that the rest of the world appreciate more the african fashion into african pads we do have ah, a few suitable and style designs speak from the traditional poll. well connected to

the modern pulse of africa. ah, the to see for myself how one initiative is supporting visual artists by creating a space, equipment and training, push out what are the main aim of the space? we have many and i think the main aim is to facilitate a strong sense of individual and collective responsibility towards i would a presentation given the colonial history of photography, nafrica, and also a desire to contribute in a meaningful way to african photography as well as the lives of local youth. why do we need these types of initiative? i think that in the age of social media and information technology, official literacy and critical thinking skills for a very,

very integral part of an increasingly valuable school fit. which is an essential way to navigate the massive images between count on a daily basis. i think that now more than ever, we need of photography. that sensitize is us to each other, to our unique ways of seeing the world and diverse weights is experiencing and photography courses all the way from the kennesaw at 5 level, as well as online mentorships. in person and online. he's usually one on one for people who can't be in a class setting like this. we also also really try to create opportunities for photographers think so that they working at the spaces as a means to bring trying to visit the lety to they practice. and also to prepare them for the demands of the professional give us a snapshot of a day in the studio. well, at the end here involves a lot of thinking and discussing and looking at images. are classes and workshops

very dialogue based. so it's not a thing of a teacher standing up in front of the class. it's really about engaging everybody's opinion and really thinking critically together about to tucker feet. so through a system of assignments, close personal mentorship and critical feedback. we work with our photographers for development of the larger matters of the body of work. the heavens is on. as says already he, the queen of snails uses kind of magic. pretend paul gets sick into a regular customer packed on being referred to as a queen of sales. i feel like even a character. i feel like something where they get time. they're always, always moving fully. he never solved me. ah. have you ever wondered why your mill, you never really pace like me restaurant or smell well today will reveal that secret

about the fish market? well, be meeting up the shuttle b as you take the pseudo road about really interesting delicacy. i'm not someone who i think you really good out of my way to look for let's talk about looking for the best. how do you get people like me to understand that it's really something you should look? i feel like, wow, of course, it's like almost like much like something where i mean you might have tried to low, we are not like that, but i'm pretty choice. i mean we, we have it as you own. so when you come into a market like we are here today, what you look up for when you want to pick out the smell, you want to buy refresher course. before i find any restaurant, what intrigue?

so very intriguing with the uniform. it's about the shadow ridge. this is in the so the so if you hear about water is one bit one call you see i just really go and find it quite common. you know, how do you know the right one to buy, smell like everything else? it's time to head to the restaurant where the humble fail will be transformed, easily mouth watering this and i'll find out if i can because of these 2 tricia proteins. i'm very curious to see how sample base signature is prepared and what she can offer on the how to get this dish and kitchens. i'm not the biggest final sales or who knows. she might just call me at the end of the day, the walk,

the whole of became free experience. the market must be willing to be back in your face. okay, i'll definitely control that way. so what does dish hold exactly line and now we'll set it up with a bit of camera life because we have bit of a why did you choose your expertise? because they are surprised at what smells like in my hand. so again, could you take a look through the process? so the now when we get it, we actually get them with the show. we cook, cook them for a while, bought them for a while, then move them from the cell and then well, alum and everything, assets, and everything from again, that we actually close them. and then we got them really small so that we can put them the show as the actually said them in detail. you want them to be really small,

like almost like the melting your mouth with the cream sauce. snails actually cooked in a got it cream sauce after all the processing has to go through and they are talk a bit of the car lies the and until the oil, how to the oil actually and some oil. okay, so what makes it take different from what it has to try? i mean this experience, you need to understand that it fails locally here. i feel like why our sales are not as our hero dish, because we don't understand the, the complexity of the, of the ingredient to start with sales. do have that. be much for me, you know, texture flavor. and then you cook them with a bit of cream and it kind of elevates it. it gives it the spot that he needed, and that's why it stands out. i'm a little bit chilly and there are obviously the still is the delicate they were looking at. what are the other things you need locally here?

everything we actually do in the menu, look with the nigerian menus and the german song. where one night during kitchen, we're trying to take local dishes and flavors and elevating them sanders, so anyone can have them and enjoy them. and even, i mean our, our other africans exasperating. come back and love and try things that are local and they feel like it's things that they've had. where have you ever been to in the world actually really nice been shredded. you can feel the spicy taste once you put in your mouth. almost awakened fuels, tast bugs for a smell to come out of his chair. it only means that if lambda and water creatures finally thinking the rightful place as a healthy and delicious meal on so many menus, so next time you visit west africa, make sure you come and try this wonderful delicacy by the queen of snails herself. chef obeyed. i might not need to wait until i get with africa to try out that it
