holland area excellence. this is where all the ashes serving europe to save your romance. in 60 minutes, he's got issues with a lot say what the today with visiting the studio over and down south african artist line estimates. pub gallery post workshop. it is where he conceptualize is and produces his captivating paintings, sketches and multi media works. but 1st, elizabeth, if i, you know what to say as how she was those words into fabulous senator in nigeria.

we find out how ice cream has changed the life of 10 to my cold from. so let's so then we hear how d j. know me from the connect to sleep. the i think is bringing african beats to dogs leathers. i'm finally sat there in bed and you're watching the f remax the and that's, that's who is a land like country in southern africa that captivates. so if it's montane is landscape and cultural heritage that runs camp. well no, no merchants is an urban k. thank brand, infusing a blend of tradition and modernity interior designs, retaining their heritage of

this special collective is taking control of their cultural heritage by designing modern speech where while retaining ownership of culture items like the traditional positive blank how can we call them bust with 2 blankets when they're not made in this beautiful mountains up in the so to we have to be able to own the narrative from design to production to the raw material use cases as well as the economic opportunities that comes with it. but a couple of by 5 k beautiful blanket flowers is a term that is often been used in reference to buffalo to the humble blanket made his transition from fed covering to fashion item. when king refresher 1st received one as a gift from the 1st partition missionaries who settled in the country that was then also to them. the popular sufficient fabric was 1st printed and exported from germany, but no, no use this. so tool is

a sort of an umbrella to him for the us. not to mention is a platform that we want to use to communicate. stories for municipal told by a bustle to these we, i, we are doing using i through the medium affection we have said the if i have been to expand the incoming industry in the switch, but we can see the same about the 1st and in this be especially low kind of patient . so we identified that as avoid that needs to be tablets, initially cannon and then i, me and his partner set up a huge factory from where they managed the entire production chain. 5 and 2017. they realize they needed a drastic change. that's when we started developing a model that can with something sort of a mix of a lean in jail model. and this is total lead based on our

tribe does not involve culture or valves. we haven't mando quote, let's see. this is more like a crowd funding that people come to get a quantity towards the task and accomplish it together. e, centralization of their production has meant that to and then the 9 he was able to focus on styling and logistics was spinning skills and giving opportunities to create a number of smaller local office. in practice, we took the same models and said, ok, now he's the one who develops. for instance, a blanket. it is someone who specializes in design at techs buying and printing. there's someone who's a, profess not at the graphic design, where we develop the patterns. there's someone who is a professional in the seem to be of that. so we take this 3 professionals and put

them together to develop a blanket. we can think for a need use of a explained funds to use and we can see where they are closed. no, no, been to mainly what do you call over or less from? i think for them they've been putting the pin designs. um we bring that take them because keep us of printed, we produce many different types of them and so we would collect the bread, this pipe in the us. i don't know i'm too close, but i think we're good that we can move them. this help us and load, do you know those guys the quotes 17 that they needed today? we can move them at the proof them at work. so it means if we said 10 blankets would be set of 20 blankets, each one of these professionals is able to benefit from that. in that we, i mean,

these know lead me to what we can do. who is out there telling us what the stories these we do through some of the products that we develop. we have for instance, something like this. this is a stuff we call it a legacies of months old. so as a processor lane, me come, i would say also a fight. so we said she was able to weigh many crowns. so when we send you this product, which is us. gov, it goes along with the story. as more africans across the us for engage an issues around their identity, the efforts of created by to them and i need towards free appropriate in their culture is going to have an indelible mark on future generations. african fishing is making the uh, protests in our culture. and that's something that cannot be corporate. and of

course there's, there's been a lot of appropriation of our cultural identities. but these are some of the things that can only be told by africans now that african street fashion at its best look, smith is a highly acclaimed south african office, his work explorers, and catches the essence of individual ality and diversity. through his paintings and sculptures he expose the human condition, threefold provided king and visually striking works of us. and it's joining me now is the man himself lacking, though i know it's such a pleasure to be had no growing up. what's old? who was an influence for you to pursue on? and how did you end up becoming primarily as comp to why and i grew up with my father being a sculptor. so obviously that's something that was very influential trying up in the studio and just being in that environment i think can spine me a lots and, you know, one thing they turned out in, i'm, you know, ended up doing and as

a multi disciplinary office, how thing do you decide where the project needs to become a painting or sculpture? well, that's an old gaming process that i follow and usually it, because it's a painting that becomes the sculpture or vice versa. but in thinking of the end of the day, it's become quite evident to me that they have a, they've overlap quite a bit. you know, and, and the paintings seem to become cold phones. coast seemed to become, you know, painfully in the paints of a y applied and you've got such a beautiful space. what went into designing it? i worked with an architect to a time and send who was the architects in and, and, and put together the whole idea of the design. and um, you know, it's, it's part of a heritage sites and he end up being a heritage architect. so it's, it's all worked very well together. what sustainable features do you have within the structure? all the trees that for all the blue gum trees that removed. yeah,

that's been on the building sites all re purpose them and used in the building the stays and became kind of like part of the main elements of woods inside the building. um, you know, you truly do have such incredibly beautiful pieces and conway to catch up with you again later. thank you. elizabeth if i in our to from nigeria is causing a nice for herself in the traditionally male dominated industry of woodwork, demonstrating her skill, create 70 and determination to make it in the field that was once off limits. what does he take? the deal with elizabeth define who knows best the nature of my business is mailed to me, said doctor neville walter, 2 months and that as being quite difficult to such different me so and so my number to call me was out to view this man close. so my so contracted at the sides that

i've said the old man. so there's always the need to don't forget where se, elizabeth is kind of the nice for her. so literally hers was not an easy task put away worth while. i thought that was walk in precisely of us. think this rain see i stuff it a to in all conventional rate. i had a dream where i saw myself in the me. so what i'm asking the font on the drain. i saw the opportunity on southern business. once i started, i actually got new knowledge of what i can lend everything as i gain more experience in the field. so, so far it says not just being the business aspect for me is being for the business . and also the physical assets because i also indulge myself in. yeah, we have a life said slop buttons from a client who brought this over to the walk show for us to al savvy. just so we're

trying to save this world can be brought back. our life isn't going to go personal culture and friday from 9 days bucks at 12 to pension. however, one of the major challenges i'll just go to is that of source. and for 9 years i i saw them locally nigeria. all this was from different specialties of 3. this is important for me. mongol slot. so here we have the wine rock. doesn't care . were owned by the ations on time. yeah. my reception that is need of well not. so yes, i have a chair made up from my old guns. it's a rocking chair, but most likely use 5 elderly people. so i looked inquiries,

some furniture pieces for you on that one. i have selling ice m. c. life edge dining tables because yeah, mostly so after every one dining table for me i have um 3 prominent baths. i also have um so contracts is south home when needed. i prize my leases on them. also a 4th. i put the same service sofa. i've been in this business edings for 3 years now and ever seen that as being both informed me is of been really invested back into the business. so being the prices for women in business space. and that sometimes told me to call a suspicion, but at least the best for when i saw that the old sequels once a month when bundled into elizabeth, has not given up any time. so i am actually

a most attacks that i delegates uses to each member of my team. we have the so same time we have the treatment time the drains time, also have the option time where we have the grinding some paper in the machine processed my advice for young men as far as the voice mail to me that feels like my would be that they should be busy and they should be very ad walking. i remember when i started at i will that leads back what i see boy just keeps pushing when i had no post them on. on the 1st lions i had saved 3 for me because the enabled me she'll keep my time in the designs that lives into the eyes . and she's in duction why elizabeth is lots of those patients and women for the inspirational for anyone who is detect to make it in 9 to. ready

one in furniture with a feminine tash elizabeth, is such an inspiration as thinking about women line. oh, what an incredible to my presentation of the female phone. thank you. you have described find houston by optic relationship between paintings and sculptures. do you mind building deeper into that is i think i come from kind of like a sculptural background but ended up going, going to printing. so i think to me that 3 that i mentioned on the form is always something in the back of my head. well printing and then when i returned back to sculpture, i think a lot of that painting influence going to into my scopes really. so i think the why i have time certain things that i would like, i started making things that looked like brush strokes and then using that to actually sculpt with. and you know, vice versa. now you've already spoken about some of your influences, but what are the influenza is? do you have in terms of autism in your work?

i think i've been in chronic eclectic mix of people that influenced me, you know, from the classical renaissance period to and i think the very contemporary at the moment, i think i've painted tiny bits and pieces that inspire me. so, you know, i feel like i've started kind of thinking this by me and looking at something that's perfectly fine, same time. so i think of, you know, a lot of different things. definitely evidence within your space. and finally, where else can we find some of your works and exhibitions, while log book categories and some advocating for read in cape town and time inspect. and then, you know, i'm, was activity i was the so the make sure to be in belgium at cube gallery. oh, well thank you so much line or for having me. thank you so much for being an ice cream years cream. even the presidents of south africa screams for his ice cream. meantime, though, the ice cream man straight out of the way so he wants to take his left for this

phrase and desert to the world. this is the stuff that dreams all made of wood. the $350.00 ran social relief of distress turned them a qu based started, so wait to cranberry an ice cream. paula that is employed full people. the, the creamery has even reach the is of south africa's presidents run the pulls up so when the president spoke about, as far as can pot, uh it was crazy. it was under video. it shows like a dream. you know what started as a snap by d o. well, same thing. the web has turned into a crowd to use a ton. those ice cream paula not only attracts the neighborhood sweet tooth but continues to be a hyphen social media professionally. i'm a session designer. i didn't really wanted to fashion. i was confused,

but didn't have a mentor, but my mother said, i need to go into fashion. so i just went to and i made rooks. after that, i stumbled across a talk receipt and actually end up with. it's because it was much less i would then session and i presume what's up with the, the professional photographer. it didn't proceed as pride to joe when he has to look for alternative t been photography due to the law in orders in 2020 during the locked down for us. for tween cmt does not work full lot software feet because we're focusing more on events and there's a noise defense, so noise is no work. so i had to try and find an alternative. i thought said the ice cream parlor using the 350 to the end, release crohn's issued by the government, shooting the closing time,

demons. or even my eyes, thoughts in ice cream parlor is because i really know of ice cream. and people who know me, you know, that's a low food, me 40. and i didn't really think about it sits in the terms of finding a business advisor almost like an experiment. so i was just trying it out. the people who helped me in the ask and paula as my family man, by the way that my system, i am a brother and enabled working to get those people close to the mix. things every easier because they're able to understand the vision of the ice cream bought up and they're proud to have 10 instead of the business. she wasn't working man for those at school, i was a school. so the 1st business actually to krist from where we way to where we are now facing kind of the business. there's all the data plate. yeah. as come to me is

excitement as come to me. it's fun as come to me is found the has come to me is friendship. so how i can kind of became so pop, you know, as social media, when i was shooting, i'd created relationships with influence of suicide and then proceeds and what one of the people that we met bazemore heidi and what though it's that the time is the problem was approaching 1000000 photos, really had to create a relationship with him. lots of images of the ice cream to him. she liked it, came through the posting images of our as cream. then after that, we just blew out the it felt like anything is possible. so in, you know that, that i, people, then when you leave in the vision, just for grades, that's while it's happening. it's working for reason why people run to take uh,

images of the ice cream. it's an experience. it's not really liked, very good ice cream. you just have an ice cream, but they want to share that experience with their friends and obviously you in the shade potential of some new customers. it does it good? really good if say in terms of when it's hot like incident number and it's good. i don't know anyone who doesn't like, i mean it's definitely a 5 star rating. at least has almost inside of it. that makes it a lot beds. and i haven't seen an ice cream like that. i think that there isn't an ice cream part of in africa that's is ice cream that's we serve. if they can notice this movie and how it's created, it's almost like

a mazda piece. when our customers receive our ice cream, they don't immediately to defeat images office and then they can troy's off to us. i think it's important to have a place take this and my community to actually start by showing people do is the in the township that's it's possible to create something out of nothing. how are ice cream by the does a place way we bring people to care though with a it's friends with that family. so many see ice cream as a desert for tunnel and he found that you have proven that it is so much more ice cream. now and so wait, so if something that dreams memories and successes are made with, it just shows you that with a little creativity and determination. anything is possible. now imagine starting

an african music, collective in berlin and in so doing, overcoming the challenges of being a woman and a male dominates a, d, j, and m c world. well, the know me is doing exactly that and rocking the global stage as a leading effort beats the jane, nigerian arrow beats and golden canoe, or the newest south african house trucks. the 1st quartz back celebrates african rhythms. the jays, naomi, and mr. wallace are the main club acts tonight. as part of the sleek to last week music collective nathan hosting, afro parties in germany for 10 years. i have to have it in the last 10 years after beats and definitely become a must in every club at every event which the end of of a month, whether it's south african um, a piano. so if i have to pay to cali, don't below anything. google is up at alice.

the new club music from africa has galvanized the club scene when wallace and know me launched their 1st berlin club series for huge. they also wanted to create a safe space where people of color is vicki and when we went out back, then there was a kind of quote of what they'd say, i mean we already have 10 percent flags. that's enough for today. and so lots of things like that are too many perks, too many arabs in order to get it to him. we just wanted an evening where it didn't matter. it's 99 percent of black. i'm sorry. 99 percent church within spots. and the main thing is to celebrate and love this sound. okay, i'll talk to dan, it's good on when evening, solid guns. okay. sexual orientations, gender, age, or origin from the stars. these haven't mattered at their parties. what counts is shared passion for new african music. and it's contagious. christy

last week are now a fixture on the berlin clubs scene and also play the really big electronic events with their own sound system. forming and african music. collective in berlin is one thing. holding your own as a woman in the mail dominated d, j and m. c. c is something else, but no, me is now one of the few internationally recognized afro beats the janes on twins. this, it was really, really tough. at 1st the guys didn't take me seriously at all because they wouldn't even say hello at the when, when someone booked me and i showed up, they were like a woman and tech no way kind of nice. but when they saw what i could do, they welcomes may not be so kind in the last 10 years. they've taken me seriously thing. so i have to go to the out and have them. and instead of asking them good side down the street, the last week has also been producing its own arrows sound for several years. they

promote new talents on their label, and nobody is happy to support them with video shooting tips. okay, how often does, what do you shake do more with your hands do more. oh okay. yeah. more like math. i'm it, i'm it. they're also bringing the berlin afro vibes back to africa. you live on the field, but we want to bring this afo vibe everywhere. that there are still too few people enjoying it and on. and i think it's also a good way to break down barriers some of also between nation us to bonuses. mean there's nothing better than connecting people through music picture another 5 soon . goodbye to, along with the internationally booming arrow beats freaked to last week are also spreading the word about other types of modern african music. a bonus,
