through music. it becomes much easier for people to actually get interested. ah, the people all over the world can actually feel what we are doing here even though and, and not yet because of their philosophy of gravity. leg to we are all attached to jimmy has 60 members. he needs choir, eat, bringing their own bit of magic to the music. ah, well, well, at family it is though, my unity, we are very, very close group of people. and it helps a lot when we are performing and also, and we have problems cuz we are human sometimes they'll be differences. but they're easy to be sorted out because this bond that we are, we said,
7:37 pm
oh, it was good to see require performing outside the country because it's not only does the but singing, but it's also about learning about how the world operates. but other cultures, it opens up the mind, you know, we, we learn a lot that we come begging of our families and our communities. so there's a lot of contreras sharing, that's how we grow as human because we are citizens of the world. and we need to learn from each other. oh, the parties him showcases the country's history of segregation and discrimination under the apartheid regime. it offers a powerful and poignant reminder of the struggles and chimes off the south african people. i'm joined by the museum manager to newly a strong winey for nurley,

7:39 pm
well where the national party then started to save laws to segregate people based on their races. we also showcase the so where to uprising of 1976, the shovel massacre as well. that's what we focus on. so a walk through the museum will illustrate all those events or the moments inside africa that we went through. tell us a bit more about the inter active elements that are featured here in the exhibits. we've got your films, your photographs with good to our, to fix, and that is the into active features that we have to give our visitors. soon to come is voice maps that our people will be able to use as well. you know what they so much wealth of knowledge and i cannot wait to learn more about it. the spoken word is gaining traction in rwanda and the rest of the world. join us as we meet della, do me a young woman who is using her voice to address critical issues,
7:40 pm
della to best words matter. they're addressing critical social issues, challenging stereotypes and redefining long accepted norms. i am the frantic upsurge of metallic energy charge. my kinetic them pill is symmetry, and that's a definitive decision. i'll be remembered through poetry and pros and verse for my eyes. cold persist in atlanta is mentality and celeste feel body power flows through my veins. power della is a young creative spoken word. artist who uses the power of words and performance to tell stories and talk about the human condition while encouraging people to use their voice to be known and heard. did i do it was born and raised in hover, or any of what? so i know that is where i learned a lot about african culture and african history has spent a lot of time performing as a kid with my, with my a siblings,
7:41 pm
we absolutely love being on stage and we would do it at cherish. we do it at school, would do it anyway. we had the chance to share a voice in our talents and we had an absolute blast. you've got the grown love again. it's music runs through my veins. so it was always easy and spoken word is i believe language of the conscious. so bringing all these different items together really helps me achieve what i want to creatively. and it lets me expand the breadth and depth of my message with a like is that one of her open mike sessions where she performs a piece that talks about the ability in lovers having more to life than just living one's self and a call to action to spread the love, but the piece also exposes the longing and emptiness attached to the fear of loneliness in
7:42 pm
face to face. with all will truly our voices, we only transcribe in the dark, a low insatiable, riddled, which finally akin to the unholy hour, is that god mean permitting to feed a, drawn to the reflected deep in search of a new religion. we'd rather go blind than through old and dry. sanity is amiga price. a fight from beacon i took della is a full time student here. she shows us her favorite spot at her campus, which she claims is one of her safe spaces. she likes to get away from the noise so that she can, we sent her rethink to reflect and organize her thoughts and put them down in to sound writing either on her phone or note. but you. so at the raptor of the celestial sphere. take my flesh to
7:43 pm
a body of liquid crystals that gleam at the sight of the golden sun. ah, i really, really enjoy. express myself the different odd forms i have. it's helen for a spoken word, poetry, music, theater, drama, and creative, directing as well. so what i do is when i'm thinking about a piece or thinking about a creative piece, i really think about what would bring the subject matter out in the best way. who am i trying to communicate with? and theater. i'll speak about that a bit has really been a great way for me to become a child again, because there are theater on stage. you were a persona, and the onus is on you to completely explore what that carry. so ha, my role model incurred yasha haiti. she recently graduated from harvard, and i think that's amazing to the full time address, but also killed it at school. that's something that i drawn the ration from. music . people like nina simone. lauren hill have strong lyrical progress and strong
7:44 pm
characters as well. so women like these really inspired me to be more than ordinary and to make serious impact who work before crossing limbo, the blue and white, ny, creating creative faces for artists upcoming autistic children as well to be expressive enough. and to be daring to think about the things that really matter, i'm really passionate about advocating for children in the space. because there isn't enough emphasis on protecting these young minds. i also like to organize some music for people to come through and collaborate and create. that's how i contribute, and i hope to do more in the future. my stuff, my, my night a few years ago i been out of believe that there is no choice that i'm making at believe that it's something i was born to do. but i think over the years,
7:45 pm
choosing to be more intentional about the messages that i put out there has what has made me go for the you know, my words and my messages. i really what helps me get into doors that i probably wouldn't have been qualified for, but because i'm using my voice to make a change, you'd be surprised how many people need to hear that'll need that reminder of how amazing they are. and also just raising awareness and issues that we often sideline . so my poetry, my voice, my music has always been a gateway to big platforms, reaching new audiences and making a change as a whole. new world, god. oh no, just to try. oh, i know that to use a new layer, what impact to these exhibits have on visitors, both emotionally and intellectually stuff. i think museum takes you on a journey of darkness. so walk into apart the museum, you will see
7:46 pm
a whole lot of darkness. so with the visitors that we get at are part of thickness, g m, it is a both emotionally draining. it is emotionally training, but at the same time it is a moment of healing. it is a moment of education. it is important also for that, but it didn't museum to remain an educational institution. so we want people to actually understand that we are not putting them in a position to be political, but to also just understand that we have to display the information that we have. so it's important while people to engage with the museum once we once they walk into the museum. thank you so much for your time and sharing this wealth of knowledge. i hope more people come and visit they do and we're calling on more to come in visit and educate themselves. thank you so much for your time. i could take like daniel tay are modernizing rural. i could take her while staying to, to the aim of helping the community around them was. i completed architecture
