of the valley's associates, a shortcut, the group is made millions shaming, thousands of officials supporting the whole ukraine. but how far will that bend hooton's power conflict zone? in 60 minutes on d. w. and what are sports, all alone and scoring? we say there were about giving up sports like every weekend on d, w. ah, in recent years, the creative i'd seen has been the foreigner in the trend of collaborating to bring a broader artistic offering to the public, creating spaces that has more than just one creative expression. and in the process strengthening the crate of community. to day we're exploring such a space, the association of our kentoria here,

performing arts and fine arts come together in an exciting way. f re max understands that collaboration is at the core of creative expression. and with that, in case of attitude, we bring you today's show, kicking off with the well known some of footwear, the flip flop. they are functional, colorful, and cheap. perhaps that is why a 3000000000 of them a made every year. sadly, these flip flops, find their way into our oceans, waterways and dam sites in the thousands. a group of autism and my ruby, however, on a mission to turn trash into tricia. we shadowed top shave murray circle as he re shipped the culinary landscape with his unique fusion where africa meets japan. and later in my lowie power house live at the hyundai shows us how things sure tier creates a vision, is the road to success. i am should've been in the see the and you are

watching out for max. ah, ah, ah, we're bringing it. today's show from a contemporary aud gallery that has been in existence for 75 years. the association of os pretoria has during this impressive lifespan, initiate us almost out of africa. most prestigious competitions, including saffo news like matches before we meet with jury to beat the funnier than to chat about this it. let's move to the beats of plenty. bu, a singer songwriter and storyteller, as she was, the crowds in johannesburg. my main canvas and the story. oh and then music is the paint brush. colors that story. ha, live on,

love it. so i and the reason why music is such a powerful talk in helping us, you know, kind of that story is that it houses, you know, sounds that are healing at houses, stories that i healing soon, that allow other people to unpack a message, unpack themselves all you know, find themselves plenty boom. who is an award winning? singer songwriter who soulful voice has been heard in concord and festivals across the globe. she calls herself the indelible storyteller, a title that highlights her mandate. not just to make music that uses the ear, but to bring influence the power of storytelling, indelible not able to be forgotten, and that is the power of her sound. i started my journey and kind

of pursuing my passions. i started off in corporate and studied like law and marketing. and there came a time in my life where i realized that creativity really is the power of transformation in the world. creative consciousness is about the idea that we as people are all creative and co creators of life. and that gives us the accountability that we have of what we contribution to the world. this is a story about a crap that broke sideways. and crabs are always walking sideways. you know why? because we're not going far away, but never walking straight anyway. tell me anybody who was right when they're going forward. in 10 years, as a self funded independent music artist culminated in the in nor world full cloth festival, founded by plan you herself. held in october 2022. this was a vibrant celebration of african culture community and heritage. the 1st of its kind in the country,

ah, the music that were performing at the focal festival is music that was inspired by time in a place i spent in the trans guy when i was growing up as a little girl, being in close proximity with the village learning traditional folk songs and remembering how fun it was to sing in my language how fun it was to sing in that style of music, which is really inherent of the bundle people with . 0 every voice is a bird that vibrates at a particular, you know, kind of level timber. and so, nina simone is someone who gave me a lot of freedom and my and, you know,

the likes of ella fitzgerald, you know, gave me the freedom of sort of motion and county and phrasing. in jazz. as i, as i grew older, i started loving jazz and my mere mike about, you know, always an influence in this space, particularly fusing global genres with all traditional folk music and taking it to the world. when i traveled and kind of taught around the world, people will always look at me as that woman, woman who comes from south africa. what does that mean? what does your story, are you telling the story of your people? are you sharing enough of the, the music of your people and that's how focus have to on the birth. and essentially how folk festival was birth. is this idea that we all carrying this thing and forms a part of identity, but that needs to be captured. and using sort of music as a technology to do that, because if it wasn't, i guess for my miriam, would i ever have learnt the focus on more time?

ah, i think language and having, you know, think there's another holders of sort of indigenous content like mac has been absolutely christian and essential and influential in my career as well. particularly at this moment where i feel like i have this purpose, a sense of purpose in driving forward an agenda to keep indigenous on this distance, but also to how our stories as african people in music i guess mongolia is about a woman who slept an old man, put them by the beard and back. i mean, she's agreed and i then wrote the meds, the song my go to describe why is this woman a fit? and it's this conversation we're constantly having about domestic issues in south africa. oh. it's modern social context, but it's also still the part. so when you trace the culture,

how do we find ourselves here? the history of broken black families understanding of how do we arrive at a woman give birth to a lineage of children, which is a woman. but them is also ill treated when she is actually at the core is the incubator of life for families. so that song was kind of extending that idea of disgruntled women whose flapping an old man, why if she's so angry because she's a mac or d in the family with the bride. and potentially she feels like the environment is slightly abusive for her because she was required to do a lot to prove herself as if it were not enough that she birth ah, ah . now back to today as we meet with the director of the association of us to toria . blue space is incredible. we have a wonderful exhibition. it's called 15 parts for 50 years. wow. this is all

the incredible the run. this is to participate in this specific exhibition being part of such an impressive gallery with an amazing trade cricket, a space for the people. why is this so important? especially for the art. this association was established in 1947 and it's a big family. it's a place where art lovers and archers. i'm the vision's come together to show art to do every body and signing. i see the grand piano, i'm assuming that it's not just for decorations. a very good friend of mine is also a function of this gallery. he came one day for me. well, you nearly on pension one of these. you have dreamed for the gather and i think i would love to have the fusing of the performing and of your audience give me what,

what do you need? and i said to be a piano, let's talk a bit about the festal news signature competition. we must be the platform for young and coming artists. aren't as a part of who we are. i think it's a foundation of who we are and the main characteristics as of who we as africans. but at the same time, i feel like there isn't enough support, you know, but if you think of how many artist one does from patricia, you know, they, they, they run naturally at lanes, you know, off to the competition. yeah. can they even internationally, i mean they've got biz artist who exhibit to ride through the role of and, and they started back to react with the thoughtful new features. all of this is absolutely absolutely amazing. before explore the wonderful

t r i makes that are part of this current exhibitions. list traveled to the beach town of central pain. paris were more recycle fuses, japanese, and african cazin, much to the delight of his kline tal. becky then is actually typically japanese, but top french chef maury. soco is turning it into an international dish with influences from all over the world. he wants to bring new taste experiences to french cuisine with dr. joe, we have something here that is part japanese, part african almost for example, of course, with homeless. so with chick piece it brings to mind the middle east. did i want to go on a cullen airy journey from one bite to another? we quickly go from asia to the middle east to africa. that's what i'm trying to do here. and sandra pay since june 2020 to maurice seco has been busy in santo pay to the city on the french co dazzle is known as a playground for the rich and famous here. the shove has opened his 2nd restaurant

in cooperation with luxury brand levy talk, but i didn't know mike was in, is largely influenced by my background and my passion. i bring it all together to create something unique in french cuisine. and i get these especially include japanese and african influences which characterize the meals at his restaurants. maury, suckle grew up with his parents of molly and senegalese origin, near paris. in addition to his classical training as a chef, he was also influenced by the food he knew from his childhood. because if you live when i opened my restaurant in paris, i was looking for all these traditional recipes. i asked my mother, how do you do this? how do you do that? i learned a lot in the process. yeah. i used to eat whatever she cooked, but not actually care about how she prepared it is about that if it had mark on my live it maury supposed success is validation for his concept. the club is this roster. the secret to my success,

i think is that i am so passionate about what i do. i think the guests noticed that i really try to do what i know and what i feel mom and do it as honestly as possible. if i maintain the sincerity, nothing should go wrong. otherwise, it's not there. though. i battled it for maury, sacco, creating new dishes and flavor combinations is always an emotional process that comes from the heart. he's no fan of strict rules, but what bizarre bulk of the most important thing is to be free to have the freedom to play with different inspirations and ingredients that you find and want to use is i'm going to be able to compose freely to enjoy your and have bonded he blow more. i think that if you have joy in your work, then the guests will notice and will enjoy the flu with the probably the on with his eccentric creations and willingness to experiment had made maurice circle one of the most popular chefs in france. and he's

now dreaming of also opening a restaurant in africa in a country ought as often seen as a means of attracting tourist until her at the hyundai was changing the shape of ot appreciation in malawi, we went to see what she's all about. i absolutely feel like tourist art is flag. it kills concepts that kill it, kill our experiences. tourists, artists, just recycled. ards, in a country where most artists mass produced paintings for tourists market one artist has gained international recognition with her approach to address issues pertaining to identity empowerment and self worth malawi and born meeks media, artist, throttle. hyundai is a creature extraordinary. she's constantly refining her work and redefining the ways in which artistic creativity seeps into every aspect of it. there's

a lot of pressure now i think of social media where we see a lot of arda to copy and be like, okay, so this is the african authentic. no, no. you can. you can create your own authentic. and if you really refine it, it will be great. darling. there is no shame in staring down a forked road and choosing to sit. i am an architectural technologist by education. i have a bachelor's degree in the architecture. so i'm also a designer. i do interior design work in malawi. i am a communications officer, a full time for a grant making organization. i am a visual artist that is, i think, something that i've been my whole life. and i'm also the co founder of a collective called warner connective. also in arts collective, which shed light on the experiences of women. i'm a creator, but i also am

a very passionate about life experiences. and i think as i've grown older, i've been more passionate about women's experiences. not only my own, but the ones that i have observed, my mantra is that i'm an artist or the purpose greater than myself. ah, i gave lisa, this is one of my most favorite pieces. essentially. when i created this piece, i had just finished my bachelor's degree. i was in the, in the space where i was looking for work and i wasn't really finding work. so i decided that in order to find work, i needed to delve into my purpose. i needed to delve into what i think i can do well, which is painting. and i really decided that this is going to be the best painting i've ever done with their unique for the right to his managed to stand out in a difficult art seen in malawi. what is the recipe for success?

i have always been putting myself out there even though i, i think i appear to be a shy person or a quiet attention or an introvert. and i will share my work and i, i want people to see my work before they see me. and i will create work and share it. that's the, that's something that i think in this generation is making creative try with her work. there are 2 also wants to inspire fellow creatures across the continent. would love to see more african artist be authentic, be authentic, be true to themselves. the more i focused on my art and the more i put myself out there and the more i was brave up myself up there, the more money i made, the more deals i go. and i remember the 1st guy god. when i became a freelance artist and enemy or whatever was

a gig from the netherlands. and i was asking them how they found me and they said from your social media. and then i got a gig from uganda and from south africa. and then america. art has been 2nd nature for me in my life. i think it's a way of being the way of living. and for me i think the most important thing is leaving a legacy with my work. i want my work to live longer than i do. i i legs, you started out as a child during pictures in the sound. did you ever imagine that should be sustaining your life through the beginning? no. it was more of making toys and have fun. and the love to grow

than every time when you make toys a new design and the new when i started teaching, you wanted the kids to feel how i feel when i'm, when i'm creating, you know, when you do you, it's more like feeding the soul. and, and they get the feeling that you have during their time peacefully. you know, you have, you will have peace in mind. and then you won't think of anything that troubling you. when did that translated feeling that your work is so vibrant, colorful, and so beautiful. but i know that was ceramics aut, well, at least when i was growing up, it wasn't always that way. can you please explain the change that has taken place in the, in the media. defense colors were not like piece as well. you can tell when you paint, how does it going to come out until it's been fired and then later on in the technology
