understands the collaboration is at the core of creative expression. and with that, in case of attitude, we bring it today show, kicking off with the well known some of it, with the flip flop their 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 dumb sides in the thousands. a group of autism and my ruby, however, on a mission to turn trash into tricia. we shadowed top shave mari 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 have been in the cedar and you are

check out for max. ah ah ah, we are bringing in 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 as almost of africa's most prestigious competitions, including settling use, like mentioned before, we meet with jury to beat the funny out of been to chat about the so let's move to the beats of plenty. bu, a singer songwriter and story tamma 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 a and

the reason why music is such a powerful tool in helping us, you know, kind of that story is that it houses, you know, sounds that are healing at houses. stories that are healing that allow other people to unpack a message, unpack themselves or you know, find themselves p line you boom, who is an award winning? singer songwriter who thoughtful voice has been heard in concerts 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 in the power of storytelling, indelible not able to be forgotten, and that is the power of her sound. when i started my journey and, and kind of my passion,

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 in our co creators of life. and that gives us the accountability that we have of what we contribution to the world. there's a story about a crap that book sideways. and crabs are always walking sideways. you know why? because what about going forward? what never walking straight anyway. tell me anybody who is right where they're going forward. in 10 years, as a self funded, independent music artist culminated in the in nor world fall cloth festival, founded by plenty 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 and place i spent in the taunts 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 every voice is a bird that vibrates at a particular you know, kind of level timber. and so nina simone or someone who gave me a lot of freedom and my voice, and you know, the likes of ella fitzgerald gave me the freedom of sort of motion and county and

phrasing. in jazz. as i, as i grew older and 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 toward around the world, people would always look at me as that woman, woman who comes from south africa. what does that mean? what is your story? are you telling the story of your people? are you sharing enough of the music of your people and that's how folk was have to on the birth. and essentially how folk festival was birth is this idea that we all carrying the thing and forms a part of identity theft and 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 learned the focus on more time i think language and having, you know,

i think there's another holders of sort of indigenous content like mere 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 knowledge distance, but also to how our stories as african people in music i guess montela is about a woman who slept an old man pulled him by the beard and back. i mean, she's agreed and i then wrote the med, the song, my go to describe why is this woman a fit? and it's just conversational, constantly having about domestic issues in south africa. i. it's modern social context, but it's also still the talk. so when you trace back the culture, how do we find ourselves here? the history of broken black, emily's 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 incubate of life for families. so that song was kind of extending that idea of disgruntled women whose slapping an old man why, if she's so angry because she's a mac or d in the family, which is a bride. and potentially she feels like the environment inside the abuses 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, those space is incredible. we have a wonderful exhibition. it's called 15 pots for 50 years. wow,

this is all the incredible to run. this is to participate in this specific expedition being part of such an impressive gallery with an amazing ticket of space for the people. why is this so important? especially for the 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 everybody and signing. i see the grand piano, i'm assuming that it's not just for decorations, very good friend of mine who is also a sponsor of this gallery. he came here one day and you said to me, you nearly all anxious. one of these days you have dreamed for the coldest gathering. i think i would love to have the feeling of the performing and of your art to me was what do you need?

and i said to him, a piano, let's talk a bit about the central new signature competition. we must be the platform for young and that guy, me, art is odd 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 won the competition, you know, they, they, they were naturally a lane, you know, off to the competition. yeah. can they even internationally? i mean, they've got this art of who exhibit to ride through the wall and, and they started that career with the thoughtful new feature thought, oh, this is absolutely absolutely amazing. before explore the wonderful to remix that are part of this current exhibitions. list travel to the beach town of central pain,

paris, when more recycle fuses japanese and african cuisine, much to the delight of his clientele. becky then is actually typically japanese, but top french chef maury. socco is turning it into an international dish with influences from all over the world. he wants to bring new taste experiences to french cuisine. well, don't good job. we have something here that is part japanese part african was for example, of course with homeless. so with chick peace, it brings to mind the middle east. i want to go on a cullen airy journey from one bye 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 2022. mary seco has been busy in south co pay to the city on the french co, dozier is known as a playground for the rich and famous here. the chef has opened his 2nd restaurant in co operation with luxury brand levy tall. but i could see that 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 guess let me pull these especially include japanese and african influences which characterize the meals at his restaurants. maurie, 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. i used to eat whatever she cooked, but not actually care about how she prepared it 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 more and do it as honestly as possible. if i maintain the sincerity, nothing should go wrong, otherwise, it's not there for the webinar for morry 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 it 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 clue you with the probably the i'm with him. he is eccentric creations and willingness to experiment, had made maury circle, one of the most popular chefs in france. and he's now dreaming of also opening a restaurant in africa. in a country,

art is often seen as a means of attracting tourist and tell her at the hyundai who is changing the shape of art 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 are too just recycled. ards, in a country where most artists mass produce 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 mixed media artist, threat to hyundai, is a creature extraordinaire. she is 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 steering down a 4th crude 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 has been my whole life. i. and i'm also the co founder of a collective called warner collective. also in arts collective would shed light on the lived 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 and not only my own, but the ones that i have observed. my mantra is that i'm an artist with a purpose greater than myself. i gave lisa braids i turned her, blew into an avatar and took her to make my lousy. and then here i was exploring african print material which i'm not really a big fan of his days because i think it's misrepresented in spaces. 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 interest or an introvert. and i will share my work and i want people to see my work before they see me. and i will create work and share it. that's that, 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 and love to see more african artists 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 out there,

the more money i made, the more deals i got. i remember the 1st god god. when i became a freelance artist, an 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 a new actor when i started teaching, 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 that feeling that you have during the time, peacefully, you know, you have, you will have peace in mind. and then you will think of anything that troubling tumbling. you wanted to translate that 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 long does it going to come up until it's been fired and then later on in the technology majors. so we end up having new colors where you can be able to see how it's going to come up. alex, thank you so much for joining us here today. thank you so much time to tell nor to kenya when another group are auto attaining a problem, interest solution. this is how we are taking risks from our hosting and making it to something beautiful. francis motto is one of almost 100 other artisans in kenya who produced animals

sketches of all shapes and sizes, many of which are life sized. together, they re purpose, almost a 1000000 flip flops each here into a thing of beauty. in their own little way, they are working to make our world a better place fast. i would come then or foster friends will come young and joined the people hard informed us about the heart. and then we will have got to join them in their wood, coughing, industry. there was time when the government wanted cutting off trees logs, then we know enough trees to do the coffee. then when we had to find an alternative somewhat fog, we've gone back to the homes and do family been lucky enough. we had a boat that little odd flip flop hot is somewhat different because it's not so hard

like moon on it soft and not cheer tad tire full like it will. i'm passionate about loving them. hardaman goes when these are peoplesoft thornton, well only. ready in danger, the oceans. so when they are collected, our towns are clean. already foss, our clean pulse is not clear. so all the cheers household police, most of the flip flops off, thrown in only 2 are dumb sites, then they are covered into our waterways. to very vase to then the revised dump them to the horses, the promotions for him, but inside the are killing our horses life. shockingly, they are above 11000000 metric tons of trash that end up in the ocean. i knew, i mean the, you an estimate, but in 2027 they'll be more plastic in the ocean than fish. so that should give

everybody something to think about. the journey to a finished product is one taken by several membranes of the team. the collectors bring in more than one ton of flip flops each week. once, wait, it's time for them to get a good while. this is their place where the people have a blessed when they're dry, they artists will just take them from here. is that the process of carving, the next process will be the die cut machine. the die park basically gives us the engraving. all the animals that is meant to become. after we get the die cut there, sunday. the sounding process basically makes the die cut more. so that the artist gun is the recovery. after they're sanded, they are put into blocks in form of

a block using a blue as the blocks have in man, the can cause the animal or flip the block in the store to be used later. well, the most popular pieces would be the draw lafond and the title. and if you look at these 3 animals, they're all in the injured. that is where we get information from which we, we make up to tell a story about these animals so that we can get them the help that they need. most people do not know when they go. when i say if i that the elephant is indigenous or the giraffe is endangered, or the title dying because of the plastic. so we make these up to tell the story of these animals to draw attention to them.

the big and most we use the material for shipping, which is known as the whole state of all. we put it together using the glue, then you will call the size of the more you wish to then up on your on more bit. and they will cut the plots into pieces. so you may make the design and wish the color is least for me. the flip flops sculptures find their way to clients all over the world. in homes, museums, views, and parks. the proceeds of this are channeled to educational and environmental initiatives. this has been
