10:35 pm
i recently changed the kind of would use to look i would because of the narrative i'm trying to drone or i've explored other materials like plexiglas. i've explored metal. i've explored so many other materials. the. this include, like this present uses designs. cool, in demand they are all in progress. he takes pride in fact, that the grove of our futuristic art has grown, collected and not hold him about the money to pay for such art. i see something i find interesting. i think a picture. i just archive it's the fun place i started as a need for a space coming up with ideas is just a supernatural process that's clearly telling that spiritual depth and all these things what she gets with an african design. so this is
10:36 pm
a completely assembled piece of the transport fund. so this is the fund and this goes on top of this too, right? and i'm just looking to perfect my product, get into different pieces, made the right audience. this is basically for the fun looks like it treats you my best, the fun. i put it up. my sister me that one time asking if anybody was interested in buying. i put out a pre order on my social media end in 2 days, actually sold out the thing that made over 150 units of the fun. in the space of 2 years, a design i pin i function in the art space. fashion space, the, the engineering space thing because we're monitored by our style or by medium or by industry or any of the distance. the concept of our full few chosen aims to break
10:37 pm
from western maternity, given the african artist voice to speak and apart from chick spent 2 african and visual choice because he and his product designs are in the forefront of these movement. ready today, off the 10 year anniversary of the invest take a town aunt fan, the largest contemporary odd fe in africa, held in cape town, with a $106.00 exhibit, says it attracts $23000.00 visitors and is a platform for international art professionals to connect them now joined by loud vinci, the outfit direct sat lar, lovely to see you. hopefully, larry, to see you. now, can you just tell us a little bit about the art fe? what's it all about? so we celebrate that work, pays anywhere 30 and this year. so it's an important here, the ferris started very humbly, was the local fair, very small, and then it grew like exponentially over the years and has become the most
10:38 pm
important. and the biggest are fear of contemporary arts in africa. beautiful. and this year's theme is time. can you tell us a little bit more about the theme? yeah, so we thought is that takes anywhere 3. so is the right time to reflect on time. and we will say to our, to raters that define please ouster, whatever you want. and of course it has to be consistent. so the answer in different way we have like an answer to time for tomorrow. today that is related to how feeling and affections reflects the pasting of time that is for the emergent section or the different answer from different media to the concept of time. so moving forward in terms of the future, the odd fe, where's your vision as where do you see it going?
10:39 pm
so 1st you will want to become bigger and larger. but in my vision, it is to become a hap, it has to become sounds in bit. we'll activate the city for at least one or 2 weeks . so we're really wanting gauge with the local community. we look in a situation where museum art is to create like an exciting week. thank you so much, laura for stopping by and having a word with us. they get better. a group of friends cycling through johannesburg has now become a thriving business that reclaims the streets and brings people from diverse backgrounds together. ah, reclaiming the street. that's what urban cycling is all about. urban cycling feels like the biggest adventure when you like a kid. does the physics capture his like gear and venture and your kid is riding
10:40 pm
around as artichoke with the cycling is looked upon as a mode of transport because it's usually low as a thing that people do, you know, and not what the typical word controls person would do the reason i think we should get more people on bikes is because of health benefits . a green economy and bits is the teeth that we get to live in. you know, the less cause we have on the roads. the more people we have on bicycles makes, we're happy with
10:41 pm
. it's ready to get more people on bicycles. young, small old, black, white colored foresters, everybody of bicycles lesser differentiates as it's a 3. it's our diversity. we have a meeting point where we speak about the route going to take and we either cycle in so it's all always cycle in the cpd and we cycle out maybe stop some way, get a coffee or a drain, and we carry on cycling. and finally, end up at a nice restaurant. it's really just about getting together and socially. ah, so was bitin vendors, you psycho as you are, you're riding for the destination and nothing of a t. so we don't waste bendix or life crowd or anything like that. we come in cheese, we come in short, we come and anything that feels comfortable for us to write it. it's like
10:42 pm
a mish mash. and the representation of what job looks like as a multiple put started as regular training for better health and meeting as a group of a few best friends has now developed into regular social gatherings to unwind after work. i've seen people as many of them, it's never known each other and they lived in the same hood, meet on a bike ride and now the like the best of friends. all because of that, you know, and i think that coming together, bridges the gaps between us as a people, i mean, i think, you know what the landscape of south africa looks like. and we like a microcosm of that. so we try to bring more people together to religious, find each other and see that they actually really all relate a thought from cycling. the bandits of pros, every pairing maintaining and restoring bikes, even a new business idea with phone out of the group, hiring our bicycles and getting you to doing city tours as well. but the focus is
10:43 pm
not uncovered by them. friendship. ah, since i made the guys from by the members and we started and joining their eyes, they definitely dwayne from strangers to friends and yard some of my best friends now. i made through frankly the group of by king bandits, people who had actually joined us in the past years. they have changed my life quite drastically. i should say, you know, you become humble there, you know, meeting new people. now they actually teach you of what they know and what you don't know. it's mostly humble as you saying that i'm willing to learn and that's what i've actually loved quite a lot. the bandits have come a long way and they're bound to take over the streets of johannesburg. with the
10:44 pm
next gathering. recently we've taken over critical mass that happens on 1st those days where we get everyone in a new one on a bicycle to ride in the city and like, and these will be please like show grow. and other parts of the job is that nobody would go to on any random day, it's not as dangers of people think the idea is so that people know that to also belongs to them as well. and they should come back and visit and see, you know, it belongs to all of us. what a great way of exploring the said to him and making lifelong friendships. now, black representation in art is important because it promotes visibility, diversity, and inclusion. whilst challenging stereotypes and empowering black artists and a pioneering artist doing exactly that is as andy michelle bella, hi,
10:45 pm
wendy lee. alyssa, how are you? i am fantastic. being able to stand within your group amongst all this color. i mean, you are one artist who is deeply p breaking stereotypes and exposing and representing black women in art and in art history. tell us more about that. oh my. so i think my desire to present artists, black women in my arts is quite simple. and it stems from just engaging with our history and seeing the image that i was seeing, which was not very inclusive of the kind of black women i think need to see, especially in this particular time. and that's just black women living their everyday lives. and really just sharing different perspective to their desires themselves and maybe even the staff that they sort of like desire or want to be. and i think that seeing that there is, there was
10:46 pm
a bit of gap with the art history or painting that i was engaging with and the time now i just thought that it would be nice to sort of like to pick the kind of women that i would like to see yeah, absolutely. is that dealing now looking at your specific artwork and art piece and installation get today? what's your favorite and why? yeah, so i think in this particular booth or this body of work, my particular favorite berg is titled, or nana. i will, i'm clean b online and it is sort of like a depiction of myself and my family members, my mom, my grandmother and my younger brother. but i think the work is very, very much different from the work that i've been doing previously because it's different more i'm, you said in terms of brush drugs and a good will find that doesn't really take itself to seriously. and i think when i was thinking about this particular work, especially in the context of this body of work, i was thinking to myself,
10:47 pm
how do we like if or not a younger me with to paint something or to pick something? what would it look like? and i think it would be very expressive and not very serious, but still very intentional. and yeah, i think of it as sort of like a love letter to myself and also a coming of age or woman for, for myself. yeah. so that's my favorite piece. beautiful, thank you so much then devon, for having i'm sitting accents with colors is also what makes a part of agnes thank as these where she has in herself with a task establishing interior design in malawi mellow easement for a lot of beautiful things. we are known for our leaks are beautiful kasha, a little beautiful people, but interior design is not one of them. and i'm here to change the narrative. a agnes bernezi. i'm allowing business woman who's
10:48 pm
setting a new bar for local interior design. this is some ada cafe slash restaurant. my client wanted something interesting with her space. she wanted the place to be very creative. she like bright colors and just she's an over creative person herself as well. i came up with hadn't, so we did all this pattern in a very big bold colors like green's and, you know, there's black and we're, we just wanted this to be a future war. as you're coming into the restaurant, we wanted people to 1st see this design before they even get to go inside. we decided to include this beautiful landed on, you know, also supporting our local artisans in malawi. we painted them black to sort of like tie in with the whole design and the feeling and the ambient of the speakers wall.
10:49 pm
it's quite a beautiful piece and we decided to plant that nitro road from the ceiling down to a we're control can, can see it just to sort of like pain the whole designed to get that it had 6 week to renovate this old house into a trendy modern pepe malawi, a net importer, which means that the cost of sa furnishings and home decor item comes at a premium. sourcing, therefore requires innovation by working with local artisans and craft is she's able to treat it's both pieces for the space that she's working in. do you think you can actually find a fireplace here like that artificial? i don't to be defended locally, but you know that it's gonna take about maybe 2 weeks or a month. oh, okay. so we have 6 bato again and, and the for a place and, and this is for, during to time assist him in the tv. okay, let me just do
10:50 pm
a little scribbling and then i show you what i can sketch from here. all right, then maybe i should see for you it's going to be proportional with your boxes as well. all right, okay. i cited am my interior design business as a hobby, i started making cushions for friends and family and co workers. so i used to make them myself at 1st and then filled them to those people. and then afterwards i said it, i'm home innovations. that's when i started getting clients, i decided to add a little bit of pieces to this space. for example, i'm adding this middle girl. what takes you, as you can see again, so that a little my furniture is great, and i like to keep it on the base pena. true. i don't like a place to just be blank. i just wanted you to have is your interest. so that's why i brought in this paper just to give you that i'm for your interest as well. i'll

10:52 pm
i have worked on a lot of home innovations. i have also worked on kathy, that new builds, and also luxury apartments. i'm currently working on some luxury apartments. i've also worked in offices as well so i can say best i work in a lot of areas for this doesn't fit in the aesthetic of through. so i'd like to change it a little bit more modern. i do love the art itself, but it was damaged so it's not like registering any art. so i'm just trying to make some, i'd out of this because i love to dare way. so let me show you what i can do with it. you're trying to make it lou labs areas like those kind of what you see in the hotel. so we start by just through this whole. mm hm. mm mm.
