i'm jealous of fee is about celebrating our cultural heritage being proud of who we are and sharing that with the world and free max on d. w. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word college pinnacle rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him a simple online on your mobile and free to shop d w e learning course, nico speak, german from agency. all it has been a part of the human condition for as long as you've been on this planet to day, we are going to explore the role of art in origin story. how ot was not only used as an expression of aesthetics, but also as a vehicle to celebrate and document the symbolism and technology of that age. arguably, the oldest form of odds can be found here in africa,

created by our ancestors to modern humans. that to everything modern in today's shows, mo kenzie takes us through his city booge umbrella. the largest city in burgundy showing us have favorite spots malawi and fashion designer, poet, comedian and drag queens, i. e. it shows as his world. and later we join to ceramics as here in cape town, who speak through their art, creating beautiful and culturally relevant pieces. i am sure to fuzzy the and you a watching f for max. ah ah, ah. today we're exploring rock odds adornments and symbolism of early human kind in southern africa, roughly a 100000 years ago. before we delve more into collective origin,

we traveled to the island life of maricia. joining gabriel far behind the scenes of the glamorous fashioned world, gabrielle was fond of fashion label. the african marquis embraces his route as a descendant of african slaves brought 2 marriages during the colonization of the island by creating an excitingly very, she's very modern collection. he brings fresh interests to the walls of historical and culturally based african narrative making africa a global 4 was in the fashion industry. ah hale currently very stress. it's been months of preparation actually to bring up here this collection today. and we finally here shooting it for one of the biggest

might have been from the country. so the fact that the african market is digital native run and we are currently on social media. we'll meet flight, stressful, because you know how it goes in social media. we've lived from us and everything, but it is an important opportunity to create a deep and read about the inspiration of the collection. so yeah, the inspiration and the story of this particular connection is very important to gabrielle. as it tells you everything about his label, the african, much inspired by the last movement, an important intersection that illuminates the connection between fashion enslavement and peace, subtler z, which is the last date is on the author defense and on, gosh, is one of the biggest movement actually in the republic of congo where people have come forward, we've way of dressing up, being luxurious,

wearing very well tailored clothes, with super color bringing joy actually to the community. the cultural movement was born in congo rather vill and his best known as an elegance that brought hominy in the midst of congress. chaos. in the early years of colonialism, congress men took the style of the slave owners hand me downs, and crafted into their own vibrant and flamboyant high fashion. there appeared advocate elegans in all circumstances and ethos entered around respect piece integrity and on this whole that has to be non violent, swell, manage, and, and inspiration through the attitude and behavior. so the be behind us is mainly respect for each other. and for me, it has been very important to incorporate this specific movement in the collection

because we are in a current situation in the world where i want to see more joy around rather than bringing sadness. we express, i was cruising, and i want people to really breathe again. feeling dental's valued in a very luxurious african marquee is filling, avoid connecting young morrison to the ancestral african rude, positively informing the creative expressions. while celebrating the continent is interested to the there's a lot of papers and actually going behind magazine for to sure. we have specific idea that we have portrayed in a mood board really bring forward this african as for example, the hair has to be braided. the make a positive to be certain. we have accessories that i'm currently unpacking to reflect the luxurious mindset, which is the essence of laptops. so if you're wearing, for example,

one of these pieces of the collection, you celebrate african pride and centuries of creativity. for example, for me, i've been inspired deeply by the lake in senegal, the lake red bar, where this is the pink color where you're going to see in some of the pieces repeatedly in the collection, just align with the immersion society that is leaving in peace and harmony and that celebrates individuality. gabrielle, once the one of the pink color to inform the story, to become a tool to produce alternative identities of the old marissa. this is a mountain part of cultures harmoniously, co existing on the island in itself. a unique story to share with the world. so which is amazing, right? so when you, where an african marcie government, you get to celebrate centuries of african creativity in

a very chic and novel way. because what actually, what, where can change the way, how you feel about yourself? it's about a claim in our own uniqueness funds on ac creativity. and the most important piece is rather v. yeah, ah, i'm not the viscount here in johannesburg at the origin center, exploring the life and times of the early emphasis. i'm a tammy hodgkins, the curious to hear from you. thank you so much for joining us here today. most of us know or have the to drop off of africa, but it was quite interesting of the colors and paints used in the background. so i think the painters were so talented, i think, in terms of making paint and making the beautiful art forms and the,

the paint is mostly made out of ok. sometimes blood was added to make it more powerful, a lot of the rock, very spiritual. and so certain things that have been added to make the paint more powerful and make the rock costs more powerful as well to hello stories. so this is a print of an ox, pennell. so harold, pongo and type in the fifty's to deem a gorgeous new draw config. and took photographs back black and white photographs of the panels and spent months 20 years of his life painting over them. it's an amazing document now of what the rocket looked like at the time because it'll be a lot more faded today. and it shows a lot of these spiritual things like these figures that you at 1st thing call humans. but they actually all have the heads of back, they half human, half animal figures, they don't have any feet. you have you certain features that you see in the rock on that we know it is more test with the spiritual beings and the beliefs of the sun

and the coin people in and they often aren't just took might be a transforming medicine man who has taken on the power of the supernatural potency of an element to go into the spirit world. and so some of the interpretations have been that the rock heart was seen as the divide between the real world, rome and the spirit world around nothing is more powerful as innovation with a clear vision. and as always after max to bring you the story behind the curve, we need to have a legal system in place that allows people to have the right to say that this was unfair. and i need this to be addressed. and this was wrong. i was harassed, i was abused, i was hit, accept, or whatever, and it needs to be addressed people. i'm not going to be. the people are not going to like you even if they're, even if the wolf says, do whatever you want and it's legal. they still not going to like you, but ever they cross that light, they should be prosecuted for those for those crimes. so here is

a designer, comedian and actor, who's as drag as a dramatic art form to make his voice heard a job. i'm gonna go to new york marriage where i'm going, i'm going to jewel gigi's junk message. i will blogs. i am actually also from like joe burke in lakes on africa at the same time. but this is the thing men before is assume there is assume that i'm different, like i'm from somebody else and what the a for which is through. i'm from both all the africa and also from a law, we did the prod like across town. i can't go to because i'm, there is a fear of being attacked physically attacked. and the thing about is malory has a mob mentality. so if one person goes off, every one goes off. if i to tell you all the things that happened this weekend to really hard to fathom, be an artist in malawi is hide. and when you also have to fight issues around your identity, it is incredibly lonely. so here's other persona had

a solution to create, not just a safe space, but also a community. i'm a gemini, i like to view myself as to personalities. so i like to say miss grande's from the other part of me that's free. that is open, that is unapologetically to say, whatever she wants to say in that moment, that's wide view her the year is here to make sure that buses running is here to pay the bill so that the lights are on is here to make sure that the shoes are there is here to make sure that whatever bad things happen to him and his customer service is bad, he can take it and make a good review out of it. he's just the behind the scenes of everything. so the background of them allowing an allergic to the community has been out there for a very long time, but people and been constable to live as some solace in malawi and the highlights of the eligibility community came when entity war, a transgender woman married,

her husband back in that was around 2010 and that issue became so big that other international organizations had to intervene. and that's when my lawyers started talking more about our community and what it's like to be in the community. but we never accepted in this community. in malawi, when we rode with the 1st a rainbow night on the response we had, we had the turn out was really good. but now the, with the backlash is just simple model. customers are usually be regulars here, and they, they still have that void of not trying to, to be part of it because of the ideas. i just, i think maybe the information to have. so i think mean we're not, we're not really educated much to accept lpg community. so i know that spaces like this and, and putting a voice out. it makes us favorable for everyone in the african approach to

inclusivity in terms of the algebra community would be unity within communities, within different communities and unity between society as a whole. because once we lose the support that we get from society, we cannot move forward. the fact that he thought, hating any one, he's not bringing pain to anyone's lives with such an amazing person. he so flamboyant and there's a lot of joy you would say, like, i love it, sense of humor, the person that he has become, his company's been through so much and the way i look at it, he's just trying to survive. so i like to carry lights, so if it's a long show the suitcase, but today it's going to be more of an interactive show. so i have my bag and i just basically stuff every day. so huge money is far from over, but he's determined to continue with his eyes while living his best.

ah, please tell us more, but the pieces of this space is looking at some of the cultures and the items that were worn during the trans stones in everyday life, by some of the phone and together communities. and so we have flies switches. we have some shoes, we have beautiful, tortoise shell containers that were useful medicines and things ostrich shall be, which a lot of people nurse, a beautiful ostrich eggshell beads that we find thousands of an archaeology. and i still use today and we do see some changes. but mostly in how the beads came together, what kind of maybe hindrances reward or different decorations that were on the phone on to never. and so we see a lot of changes also between all the different language groups. it's not just one big group that the san, where there was so many different language groups and different cultures. it's interesting to see how history has changed to what it is today. and that culture

live today. another group of artists was steeped in tradition and communicate with the emphasis in creating this or i mean pieces is in the so ceramics they take us through their creative purses pay as a future case. past kayla g. we are part of being a said, i mean, just now in this continent, in this country and in this universe, really, it means so much that we are able to travel the way and share our stories and be the trend of the media. i can be able to take us back in time in history and lead to the next generation. our design philosophy is about celebrating our cultural heritage being proud of who we are and sharing that with

the world. it's also important for us to incorporate our contemporary ways of doing to make the work live in a more than well give well we are co founder of immune of ceramics, but we a completely independent artist and each one creates in their own way in terms of the technicalities of style, the process itself, but we still work in one space which is beautiful. so this collection is called even way g beds list just to to, if i took it in the car rather than nothing k play, i saw this massive, massive ness coming down there. we were is so beautiful. it will be showcasing it to that in miami, december 2022. so there's false. at this stage, i mean the process of glazing it. so this piece has been fired. why does so fast? but i use a lot of textures to mimic the grass. and so when it's finished, you look at it didn't think it would always grasp because of the texture that i've

created. when i met at nelson monday, luna visited technology and limited in ceramics and majoring, takes towns. we became friends and later and moved to cape town, i followed the following year, and then we realize that we have a same goal in division, hence give me so set up the mix. the name is derived from them. so in this course, meaning tomorrow, then the idea is for us to wear to day for the bid tomorrow. so the next show is focusing on celebrating our traditional african hairstyles. there's so much detail that goes into the office of making the here. so i'm busy constructing the cone shape. it's going to basically go on top of this base here. and the miniature version of it is just across there. it's inspired by the shook who his style from with africa and in nature it has to be constructed into 2

parts because we are limited by the height of kil, tara, and sunday, have been with us for 1516 years. the basic is support. both of us, without them, the work wouldn't exist. so this is for his head steward for the new tradition exhibition that i'm doing for television. so i went to stores for someone who is doing and then the 3 tablets which have different meanings. and so it's quite exciting because of how they wouldn't be exhibited amongst the collection of the uniforms and tablets and television and the old age of 18 k. so with my flag, we were given language for madison, as i thought it was so fitting to be able to create is tablets also that have meaning from the past and that for to guide us for the next generation. my genuine

claim started when i was in the child in the village and was a name that you think a come to say in my total amount is that we used to just slide down the river. collectively make objects. but little did i know that this is the time my child who was being more did, whispered and guided by mine sisters out here the voices and which now tend to appear in my visions to this movie. symbols and visions that i, i make, i call them we l as many messages from my, my ancestors from the underwent ah, all isn't as to see that piece after you left this. do you look for beautiful to play, right?

then they use the indigo copper books in such a beautiful congregation. there's a cultural resonance in these works that do resonate with people globally spiritual practices are so important and also imbedded in its objects. and i think that's the kind of importance of us if it came over the kind of limitations of understanding and really kind of something that anyone would want to interact with. these are all the kids that carry in energy and the message of healing. but for me, but for my community, for the view was, and for those who actually pass, continuing what they could not fulfill in their life, term jude, to succumb since he is of this country in this continent, africa, what we seeing here now is only just the beginning we have other young was an

aspiring to be like as easy future. was it expressive? communicate it. ah, tammy, we are now in the tapestry room. we auto creates a contemporary tip histories, interpreting the research here at the center one, meet the center commission. these i think this is my favorite room, is him. beautiful. handmade embroidery is 11 of them that illustrate the history of the people. so we have the story from the origins of people looking at the rock cart, all the different ways that nature was interacted with them. interaction with different people, a lot of conflicts. and that occurred during the summer history with different groups of people. how modern life has affected the communities and then are the positive look to the future. so interesting how all of that could be interpreted

into all of that. please take us through the timeline and the history of all the tapestries that are yet. so i think it kind of encapsulates at all. so from living so closely with nature and this respect for nature, through interaction with different people in different life ways through time in the landscape, different art phones, different draw cos, and then looking at conflict with different peoples. and i think it's all just so beautifully shown through trade and ostrich eggshell, beads and glass seeds. and there were 90 women that worked on these tapestry 90 women. and speaking of an amazing woman, i am so interested in the tapestry of sar bucklin. please tell me more about it. this is a beautiful tapestry. in this tapestry sorrow is shown as protected by flowers. she was put on display in the 1800s as a terrible example of what colonial people to do by showing people that were

different and saying different they all from us and how we protect her remains on our back in south africa. and it's a, it's a, it's a powerful tapestry that shows a lot of how, how hard on history has been and how, how a lot of african people have been treated. and it's so important to tell the story . and for us to talk about the story, because it shows us where we started, especially as women and where we are right now. exactly. i think that that's exactly what it is and how we can move forward from this. thank you so much, tammy. this has been an amazing journey and i think the tapestry room has become my favorite room to sing. mackenzie is showing us a favorite spot in buddha, in boone de la join over the. 2 what's up? well, guy, my name is more now, was i can, it's also known as mo kinsey. i'm jan. i'm a stranger, and i live in rad. gonna make a copy of monday. the name was changed from the symbol read through after the
