mac architecture throughout europe. oh. 2 you're wrong in 60 minutes on d w. so you want to know what makes with love via and batting away, but i'm not even know how to work my own car and everyone with later holes and everything getting are you ready to meet the german then join me right? just do it on d. w. mm hm. oh oh, 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 the 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 art can be found here in africa,

created by our ancestors to modern humans. back to everything modern in today shows mo kenzie takes us through his city booge umbrella, the largest city in boone b, showing us her favorite spots malawi and fashion designer, poet, comedian and drag queens and e. it shows as his world and later we join to sir, i miss us here in cape town, who speak through their art crating, beautiful and culturally relevant pieces. i am sure to fuzzy the and you are watching f re max. ah ah, ah. today we are exploring rock odds, adornment 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 club behind the scenes of the glamorous fashion 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 interest to the walls of historical and culturally based african narrative making africa a global 4 was in the fashion industry. ah, hale currently very threats. it's been months of preparation actually to bring up here, this collection. so then we finally here shooting it for one of the biggest might

be from the country. so the fact that the african marcie digital native ran and we are currently on social media will meet flight stressful because you know how it goes and social media life from us and everything. but it is an info then approach . you need 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 placement and peace suppers. every to the last, the city 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 have a 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 is best known as an elegance that brought harmony 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 into around respect, peace, integrity, and on this whole, that is a peer 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 our recruiting, and i want people to really breathe again, feeling dental's valued in a very luxurious way that we can. marquee is filling, avoid connecting young morrison to the ancestral african roots, positively informing the creative expressions. while celebrating the continent is interested. the there's a lot of papers and actually going behind magazine for sure. we have a specific idea that we have portrayed in a mood bored really bring forward this african as for example, the hair has to be braided. the make out to be certain way. we have accessories that i'm currently unpacking to reflect the luxurious mindset, which is the essence of laptop. so if you are 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 and synagogue 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 morrison 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 exist in 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 3 activity 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, i i'm not the counselor here in johannesburg at the origin center, exploring the life and times of our 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 as a 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 art, very spiritual, and so certain things that have been added to make the pain more powerful and make the rock hot more powerful as well to tell the story. so this is a print of an artist pennell. so harold, pongo and type in the fifty's to redeem a gorgeous withdraw config and took photographs, black, black and white photographs of the panels and spent months for the 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 the 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 room, supernatural potency of an ill and 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 is there 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. if i'm not going to be the people are not going to like it 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 for him to make his voice heard a job. i'm gonna go to new york, my ridge of, well, i'm going to george g. g is always younger message over normal blogs. i am actually also from like joe burke in lakes on africa at the same time. but this is a thing, men, people always assume there was assume that i'm different, like i'm from somebody else in what the of which is through. i'm from both on the africa and also from a law. we did the part 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 mob mentality. so if one person goes off, everyone 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 you 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, mr. 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 allow me and i wanted to say 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 algebra, the community came when entity war at transgender woman married her husband,

back in dallas, 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 would never accepted community in malawi when we rolled with the 1st rainbow night on the response we had, we had the turnout 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, i 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 a favorable for everyone in the african approach to inclusively in

terms of algebra. the 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. he's such an amazing person. he so flamboyant and there's a lot of joy he would say, like, i love is sense of humor. the person that he has become, his company has been through so much. and the way i look at it, he's just trying to survive. so i like to carry light. so if it's a long show with the suitcase, but today it's going to be more of an interactive show. so i have my bag and i just basically stuff everything. 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 about the pieces and see how 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 had together communities. and so we have flies switches. we have some shoes, we have beautiful taught shell containers that are useful medicines and things ostrich shall be, which a lot of people nurse, a beautiful project shall be, that we find thousands of an archaeology. and i still use today, and we do see some changes. but mostly and 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, 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 cultures

live today. another group of us is to a 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 we are part of being a said, i mean i just now in this continent, in this country and in this universe, really, it means so much that we are able to cover the wage and share our stories and be the trend of the medium. 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

a world. it's also important for us to incorporate our contemporary ways of doing to make the work live in the modern world as well. we are co founder of immune, so 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 to to, if i took it in the car, nothing came play. i saw this massive, massive ness coming up is so beautiful. it will be showcasing a design. miami, december 2022. so there's false. at this stage, i'm in the process of glazing it, so a dispute has been fired. why does so fast? but i use a lot of pictures tied to mimic the grass. and so when it's finished, you'll look at it and think it would grasp because of the texture that i've created

. we met at nelson monday, luna visited technology and limited in ceramics and then 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 today 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 16 years. the basic is support both of us. without them the work wouldn't exist. so this is for his head, stuart, for the nutrition 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 tell people in 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 named easton cape country. 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 of 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 symbols and visions that i make. i call them we l as many messages from my my ancestors from the underwent ah, all isn't as to see. after you left us, do you look for beautiful to play, right? then they use the indigo copper books. such

a beautiful can academy. 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 passed, continuing what they could not fulfill in their life, term, jude, to say, come since he is of this country in this continent, africa, what we seeing here now, it's only just the beginning we have other yeah,

was an aspiring to be like us to use the future. was it expressive? communicate? i, tammy, we are now in the tapestry room. we auto creates a contemporary tip histories, interpreting the research here at the center. what made 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 to interaction with different people in different life ways through time in the landscape, different art forms different draw cos, and then looking at conflict with different peoples. and i think it's all just so beautiful shown through the 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. so 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 the 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 economy. a copy of lundy, the name was changed from single rascals gra,
