ever since i've just been on our old one, i'm sketchy, or designing, i never think of like where there fits for female or male. i just literally just think the human body is my canvas. i love playing around with and dr. jenny, pull up the juxtaposition between oversized and very tight and heavy, lied bluff, contrasting like heavy metals. like as you can see, like i have metals in base, the fuel, my pieces like being like looking very safety but also like strong. and there's also an idea of like a warrior in my head, but also like sy fy intergalactic, you know, sell sci fi movies both through god to me, up cycling, and all started during covent, when we couldn't go to the shops and buy materials. i looked around the house and i was like our grocery bags go on and see them as prototypes to see what the actual codes would look like. i really like the way they load it. i just decided to put that on my social's in one day. i'd like to be up on social media and then i'll

just like i let me just keep on making more. i really enjoy recycling released to feel good, because then i'm contributing to the environment and being environmentally conscious. i recently just got into a new odd form, which is called punch needling. essentially, it is embroidery with wool by recently exhibited my work at young blood gallery and essentially bernard tow requests to explore what it is that makes me a black south africans to day. i gay black south africans today had been gay, playing around with like the pride colors. i kind of and things straight. another narrative and was the concept of what if so what if the avatar, which is the last day been there, was a black zulu boy? what if marge simpson was a possible mixer, just trusting the common narratives and turning them into african narrative? what inspired one of my recent towed by collections? i'm was on the agenda based violence as a man,

i wanted to be the voice to help and to, to bring awareness of the violence that's been happening in south africa, all actual, all over the world. we don't know how to protect our daughters. if we've educated our sons and business, beautiful african woman raja, in our closing, her eyes being like yep i'm i slay, i'm beautiful and i hear you bungle showcases. he's designs as boom out, which is derived from the 1st the levels of he's 1st name and surname. usually when i posed on social media, the reception is really positive. so i guess that like, inspires me to create more content page art form brings about a different side of me and i will keep on expanding them because i love exploring my creativity testing my limits. i just know that like, i'm destined for greatness that some dude i had like it burns in me and my i'm hoping that my work takes me where men to be. ah,

the $44.00 stanley is amazing. arising, gym out johannesburg, thanks to a shady courtyards. 8, architecture dining, authentic shopping, and living experiences. i'm with brian green, the grains behind this project was going to tell us a bit more about this. urban away says, brian, you have a growing one to land in johannesburg, backyard. tell me how have you curated 44 stanley to be the bustling how that it is today? 44 stanley avenue started a long time ago, 2003, and i had no prior experience in property. i come from this world of television. these buildings were empty, they had been boarded up, and all i had was the dream. it is evident that you have a key of vision when it comes to this place. can you let us in, on any exclusive plans that you have in the future?

so there's nothing really that kind of exclusive or that i'm focusing on. but what, what i do constantly do is you never drop for ball. you never kind of take your eye off what's happening, how you can exploit the property more how you can open up a little cavity and turned it into a shop. so you're always looking for new opportunity within the space. and i think we've created something that people really appreciate. it's not fancy, it's real, and it just keeps getting better. thank you, ryan, for welcoming us into the space. while i wonder this warren of delights, let's say it over to allow you to find out more about a growing delicacy evolving out of the local staple. go to weeks i growing up with my mother. i will tell you definitely should have you called because it was a small every time it's all noise smells all noise is the only one i'm here to pull in. thanks. bye me. but yes, he is a tough one. when i was young,

i think it was bad, good, bad. and i just don't myself let alone his day. my seat will need to slay, you know, that comes back and shift praise i am a handle is i'm allowing chest that has made it his mission to change people's appreciation of complete. there's a lot more that we can do with goldman. what is the already? and so i have also been trying to get some small, so smoke got out there because i know definitely smoked, almost everything is out there. i don't think i've ever heard of smoke called go bleat is low in saturated fats and collateral. and high and iron, then the african staples of beef pork and chicken. this makes it the healthy alternative. most of the got ever experienced. this is either the, your much or my wishes a brave or you will be a good sure. and in the good shoe you read me friend, people ask me experimenting in it. it's normally just as you make

a new and almost true, resist the god itself, on your tomatoes, your little season unit. and well, 1st in the spells you kind of get sore throat neatness. and if it's all prepare, law gets hard. so it's like you even robin hood, so he just, oh depends. we call your prepare. so this is my pre preparation for my gold cri. before usually what i do old go to the market selectable, to have it killed the at the market go to malawi, i usually enough to forage returning home in the evenings for water, which means they're better for the environment and more sustainable in terms of farming than most cattle, we dre rob, the meat after we can get it. basically like with the gold curry, a dry rubbed with some paprika of some camire. normally the spaces you news in a,

in a curry. basically way i do what i do with spacing beforehand. these to try and eliminate the scent of the gold as much as possible because even like, great. now as i'm handling the meat right now, you, you don't smell. of course you just smell the spaces in use. know that to worry, you know the paprika, the rosemary in there, it mixed herbs. i put in there. yes. for them by this time 24 hours. yeah, everything is the center one. normally people increase the order. we start with the browning, with onions, but a go with the meat for it because i, when i had the little color to it, the brownish of the meat own. and then, because i've really pre may needed it by fagin 1st, i'm also bringing out the spices. and so the oil them everything else i want to put

into the into this i'm gary is want to have spaces. there may need to be everything, just all works all together. since i took as prepared, go meet along with food festival. so i've tasted everything, but i'm happy with it though i've gotten all comes with it. people coming and yeah, just open because it's unfortunate. i just started a little later than i would have liked so far. what is going really well has been the gaps, but we're almost out okay. back to me. you still people are a little skeptical about what is there. but yeah, i'm pretty sure that once one person tries me at the smoke meet nick harry. yeah. and the work goes out they, they should send out a lot of don't know that good smith is actually good. got me. it doesn't have a lot of diseases. so if you want self midst of it, it's gotten so i do good every day and i curse, i'm just

a casual indulgence thing. goat is okay, but i don't think as they're special, but the store behind me made great kabobs with goat. that's where i might change my mind. well, the give us a 15, the car you bought. it is 3000, which is 2000 as my back. if you just to this one. i think that smell is he didn't always mud where they gave me. i tried to even dig another p c because i can't trace that smell. yeah. why is it maybe because this is more, i don't know if i am to does that got a book where there would be identified the smell, but this one is quite unique. it was really good, like you can't see the fact that it's good me like i don't think if they hadn't told me i wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference. i wouldn't just assume the thief so no matter how you cut it, go meet winds there.

so my city around here, so i thought i could use with some company see how long or the property manager is joining me to how my eyes are drawn towards everything around here. tell me how do you make it so accommodating for those who want to spend a day around here versus a place where you can shop? why least you work out why and if you sit under our bustling olive trees buses, quite in nice scenery, we've got a business people waking from home. they using our office space as they're using our cafes saw this is all in one. we've got activities like your 1st birthday, where we draw people from outside corporate weld people from tories attractions they bear saw and looking forward to come to this place. so we can eat shop from flowers, shop for our shop for clothes and so much more. thank you so much for making time for us, and i cannot wait to take the rest of the place out. ganna is

a treasure trove of ancient cultures. let's go find out more about the hidden histories woven in the royal umbrellas. a key purpose of an umbrella is to shoot a peasant from hot weather conditions. but in gonna use an umbrella for a king or queen in a traditional space goes beyond that function. so there's many stories that hold the importance on why the umbrellas came already settled in gonna, many of our chiefs and clean mothers already used the umbrellas. but during the early 17 hundreds, the umbrellas are gifted by the dutch, but they all have different imagery, different sizes, different colors, and fabrications. written. when benson was born to gunning in parents and grew up in the united states, she later relocated to gardner and set up the see in the foundation that offers the platform where demi ends can interact with our historical path till present day.

sophie henny, and my connection to the royal umbrellas were away from me. so be reconnected to my cultural heritage and to also to my teeth and see legacy that my parents used to tell me about when i was younger than inspired by my grandfather and been able to see that a lot of his information wasn't assessable in ghana. and even to our family, it may be released a lot of individuals like myself who are in ghana or even outside are dealing with the same thing where they know about their lineage. they know about this history, but they don't have any photos or artifacts to bring it back or reconnected. mm mm. rita and backs on for our journey from the capital c t. a cra to meet one of the royal umbrella amicus in kumasi in the ocean to region. area for the people of yes, the machine to region are predominantly umbrella. make it the one who thought me

this craft is called quickly, supple. his knowledge in umbrella became, is divine. for me, this craft provides the means to look after my family. in making the umbrella, you fest, drive the bumble in the sun as this prevents insect infestation. then you struck lumped into sizable pieces. we subsequently applies some chemicals on the bumble strips to preserve them. we then measure the bamboos trips according to the preferred size of the umbrella. these trips are then arranged in a group of 8 for the long one and 6 for the short pieces. then you prefer it, hold to the strips, and then run, then i long threads to fasten them together. other people. after that you run another thread through the professions along the edges and then tighten and not. so the strips spread out evenly. when you open, we leave the fabric over the umbrella framework and tucked them family with needle

thread along the edges to complete the umbrella making process. done lots, one on one progress. we're them to one over the dash go in the colonial era. treating gamma, then known as gold coast presents of the fest umbrella. so what i sent to chief in 17 or 8 as a gift and has since been used up in the traditional space up until now to depict status and serve as an identifying a umbrellas. there used to be an identical her for a lot of the individuals are coming there, see ceremonies and festivals. many times a kid can have multiple umbrellas, even if it's large or small, but they're never gonna have the same design. and even when the, maybe the shante king is in front of other kings or like sub chiefs, his umbrella, always be the largest or a home on a buy multiple umbrella is not just one where many of the sub she's will be under.

maybe a medium sized umbrella to show that at the end of the day, the shante king is the king of all the other chiefs. when there is a white umbrella, it might not have any design. it would just be a plain white umbrella there. so cases that achieve has some religious context, or he is represented by a church by usually don't leave the special events or maybe for that special ceremony that you will see a white umbrella. before my residency started, i was part of the group exhibition that was curated by my wanda kim. it was a great opportunity for me to so case my umbrellas and a gallery space. usually my umbrellas. i seen in museum exhibitions, but it was the 1st time for me to really see how a new audience will interact with my work. and also to be able to re introduce myself and a new light where now i'm bringing the historical archives and the importance of the royal umbrellas in a gallery space. who's julie who ya,

i've gotten in and africans lives. it takes me down memory lead. when i see this ray actually fax only on festival cation, bruce, i've done a very good job, and i wish you all their business. all hand div is the younger generation. like, for me, get to have it. few are rich quotesoft and also our authentic african traditional active back. i am able to re imagine and reclaim occupancy archives, through photos, artifacts, videos. but then, within my artist process, i'm able to uphold the roy umbrellas, which was a historical object. but now being able to use it as a way to tell our traditional stories and a more modern way ah, part of the cultural have that is 44. stanley is the vice grove independent cinema
