and that focuses on content pre south african art. i caught up with the director and chief curator. oh, in montana to find out more. oh, in what an incredible place to call work, can you just tell me a little bit more about the north foundation? so the foundation was started in 2018 to we're just coming up to our 5th year in existence. and it's really part of a larger sort of ecosystem of institutions, of art institutions and museums. they've been established across africa and especially in cape town to the learning center, i think is one of the real key pillars to the institution. because it's aim is to sort of bridge that gap between the public and perhaps the artwork that's here. get them excited about visual art and, and culture more broadly because it's for everyone. it is, and it's so important to do that meaningful work. but tonight is the 2nd annual novel southern african arts prize. i mean, tell us about the beginning and its inception. absolutely. so this is the 2nd edition of the prize. it's focused on again, like our mission artist, from african,

the african diaspora. we have sort of a panel for incredible judges and they're working on reviewing all the works that have been nominated over 300 works nominators. and from that they selected 30. and then one of those works is, is, is selected. and when they're selected, the artist receives a cash prize, and they also get a soda exhibition abnormal foundation. it becomes a way of encouraging or being the catalyst for the next generation of, of artist, really. and museum goes, well, it seems as if you're doing exceptional work and congratulations. thanks so much. 94, it's french colonial architecture and bustling ports. we joined san b. b, as she takes us through her beautiful and vibrant city of breast vill in the congo willow family. i congolese urbanites. i'm sam, baby. art is a dancer and performer, i'll show you my beautiful city beneville are welcome. crossville. all browser us

locals call it is the cough at all of the republic of congo. but about 2000000 people. it's also the biggest city in the country of some 515000000 inhabitants named of the french italian explorer, pierre subbing young. the plaza rows of your sits on the north bank. of the mighty campbell river. across the water is kinshasa them mega capital of the neighboring democratic republic of the congo driver. i'm in brother bill and there's keisha that they are the 2 nearest capital cities in the world. although kinshasa alone has 4 times the population of my entire country. also where it's like looking in the mirror, our countries have similar names on them, but our histories are very different. well, we may be closest, but there are many contrasts. of course, melson trends for later on some brings us to a special place for her creativity. there are till years zum, it's

a cultural center founded and run by distinguished artist bill co lannie. some is one of the selected young talents in residence here everlast. he says, oh that it is m b italian sam studio is a multi disciplinary, contemporary art center. for me, it's a place of residence, of life. and my worth this center has given me everything i have. it's where i lent my craft and really great as an artist some and has more dance company amazed st arbor has an a new shore based on the autobiography of bill for lanny. it's called capielo and fortress, moments of that bloody civil war that in golf club, roosevelt in 1997 ah, by mid day it's sweltering in the tropical heat. and some knows the perfect place to cool off bound to beach. where else in the world can you have

i'm joined now, but one of the judges to my now tim has the chief executive and director of the design museum in london. you have one of the most difficult jobs. so at the judge, what are you looking for an artist? like if i say originality that answers it, but of course originality such a relative term. i think it's, it, you, you see something authentic in an object that we judge online to begin with. but when you get the 30 shortlisted artists nominated by people from all over the continent of africa, you know about the art of those of different parts of the continent. but you see the object has to have something that wrestles with our place in the grand scheme of things asked of an energy has to have a kind of poetry. it can have many things can wit what it can't be. it's just a literal interpretation or a literal depiction of something as to have something. so can you just take me through the process of how these finalists were selected? what criteria did they need to meet? the criteria in some ways, a quite broad. but there are,

there are nominators from across the continent who know about the art of different parts of africa. they nominate artists, 5 judges with different levels of knowledge and experience. we select online, but when the 31st or says from the scoring system we have when they're all brought together. and what seems to be merge is artist with an energy and who are at a certain stage in their career manifest in the artworks where there is a level of accomplishment and a level of potential that in some ways embodies the impossible, which is the best, almost inching artist in africa that was presented to the judges. how on earth can you make that kind of judgement? well, tim, i do not envy you. you've got a very difficult and life changing decision that lies ahead of the best buy pressure. thank you. dreadlocks. many people as they see this, he style with gangsters, gangs, and bad habits. in garner,

with a negative challenge is some women encounter in using hair relaxes and this drove a strong desire him to find solutions to the canyon national kinky hair from there . then i became a try color just by producing products to be able to maintain it. it would in their industry because of highlander people. i've been doing the other tough of hair, have a lot of problems to solve until today. it was common practice and gonna to hide one's own hair, and the whigs also get it straight by any means a $1000000.00 business, which michael wanted to change to bringing them into the natural world. have to solve those problems. it got to a point that i realized that are my teeth in all prominent people, walk in leap and doing the i her and solving the problems within the latter and dreadlocks world. at mit,

that i have escaped all of those. also, it actually helps me to do my work even more effectively because i don't have to waste time on hair. you have appointments every 6 weeks or so to go and re tighten your hair and then you're gone. so basically, the has been it and i have enjoyed it ever since notated as far as the way of passing on his skill set. michael in 2014 officially opened his school to offer training for both local and international individuals who are also interested in this profession. i've tried more people in all globally, i don't know how many people because it was the academy that i started putting those records back. a print issue. i was not keeping records on how many people come in, how many people was, because people were abused. kelly, car products have had a lot of problems one of worth, but i cite the law cancer,
