the all the ashes serving europe to save your romance. 60 minutes on the wood there's to us. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend dw, the fashion is like an artist pilot, with every thread button and fabric is a breast truth that helps us express all cells with its own run ways old busy city streets. fashion is a 5 and language that reveals our individuality and pushes limits. welcome to gloss house, a creative and sustainable have pioneering slow fashion right to define this thing

. but 1st, we meet sonya peterson, a multi disciplinary artist from cape town, who has royal blood flowing through his veins. it's all gone up to see how su seumas is recycling gold into beautiful, sustainable jewelry. then we find out more about symbols, to a historic city in monte waste africa, known for its rich history as the center of slimy cleanings and trade. i am found them tenga, at your watching. at 3 megs, the austin rum, withdrawn from the rushes, studies how the design of spaces affects community bonding. his architecture

focuses on creating spaces and encourage people to interact and full relationships, enjoy spaces sub to both community. as an architect, austin's uncle john explores the influence of spaces and places on their inhabitants. the. we need conversations that inspire us to been committed pro the and inclusive and to create both ways, such as structures and social systems that allow people to flourish. according to us and we live in times with new ways of being in the community of being called for when it comes to form. an architect can do different ways. but for ashton, it's key of what the outcome should be. with his designs, he wants to create a dialogue between residents as an effective way for community building. this is reflected in the architecture of a patio residents and kept hammering. ringback the

sustainable architectural design, you still don't need to practice of creating buildings so which have video in back on the environment. it should also promote social sustainability. modernization is important, but a village stores it's tom from it. so as an architect, ashton feels he has a moral duty to respect and enhancing the i've had a chance to work on different projects that are on my interest. so basically we welcome to ds, protects property development schemes, input on the those dr. if it does, we've done a residential houses, housing projects, there was a lot apartments. each project has been designed to suppress fund specifically to the side constraints. and those that brings the residents together. they like to meet and talk to each other while enjoying the village. it's less escape and

climbing the we have to find a balance between model energy and we have to keep that soul with it. and it is, oh jew to know that this is trust me to, to our next generations. it is true to say that that ions, one of the most popular areas for, for it is one thing for leaving lucius. however robust, who is one of the only purchasing that are on some of that we means affordable for larry springs. we wanted to have motions sharing the space with partners and allow everyone to have an equal chance of acquiring the purposes of that spending. it does not target specific group of people is doug is the type of us who has been designed around a central courtyard that is open to scott. so when you think about to tat tabs to have that kind of trouble with the fact that we want to bring it again here . and we want to have that funding among the people that live,

that everyone can come to it and relate to it. when we engage in conversation the world of connection and creative possibilities, open up the foundation necessary to create a shared understanding about caring, finally, environment, creating a sustainable future. most of the people who bought in the past, who actually bought it because of the sustainable features that you have the green was you have that i'd like to have pulled. that was a process that we're using. we have been using less concrete in the building and to reduce that as well. we have reduced the weight, the coke of was inside the building. so instead of having the full square using politician was lowering the load on the slides. so this reduced as the amount of, of steel in the structure and reducing is the mazda of the concrete to be used in

the structure. we have the double glazing, to reduce the heat transfer hot periods. and so if you look at the bus, who is the middle portion was actually bringing microclimate to the building. you have pop up, let's go back to the past 2 and then apartments again. so what happens is that it allows across rentavision within the building. and of this we're bringing microclimate the micro time it that is the pictures because of the courtyards reduced as the temperature of the building by one to the way to the surface. if we definitely see reduce the consumption of electricity throughout the building with his designs, osh comes on push on, wants to create a dialogue between residents, thus protecting demolition. so, and this special sense of community why embrace architecture, if not to enhance the environment and make people status and we'll beautiful the movies. the

is global cost is a hybrid pre a to space with aunt artisans add architect to meet also the best and sustainability on concentrate on flu fashion. not only for those who will look on this, but for the great good of the wills as well. i'm here with the founder and director is on the v is there's on v as gloss house is such an incredible space. i could not help, but notice the use of recycled materials. this would not be a coincidence now, what it's about a year ago, we decided to move into the skies and turn it into a studio. all the elements where they reuse the the court rules were used to create like steps, lentils, very use the grad pathways. it's a small of an approach that anything. what is the fashion and how does it relate to modern african lifestyles? to mesa, fashion is a really an approach. again,

when you are doing things considered, see every single aspect in the, in the circle of government is very considerate. something that stands off is the fact that you work with a few artisans to create the governments. what do you and to achieve by this? we have a lot of unemployment and we've got the rich cultural heritage of making things by hand. i think it's very important that as create as the piece time together, that we don't use these other competition. but draw the how can we say knowledge? how can we say autism in create over i will catch up with you eventually to felony . a peterson is a multi disciplinary south african visual artist who explores themes of identity, memory, and culture. she is known for intricate textile with which is inspired by traditional is ludovic odds. sonya peterson's, i am royal series is about reclaiming,

healing and belonging. this portrait was the 1st one in the series. we, i kind of imagined or re imagined home. i insist as well and try and recreate the history which i feel is more honest about to re austonia. it's a multi disciplinary, all to is to use as photography, full skilled to tapestry, an installation to trace the complexities of her identity in contemporary south africa and your home city of cape town. so this is my latest work. it's part of a multi institutional. so on the indian ocean, the 1st was at xyz mocha, and the 2nd is between go p spa and savvy contemporary in berlin. to the story begins with a rom p, from the island of tara, nice, see. and this is la and he was from bali and they were brought to the cape,

the force of lease. and this is we all family history begins because they had a daughter who had been married to one good. sonya is the defendant of an indonesian prince known as twan guru. the dashboard came to the cape and 1718 and the present time on robin island. he was causing a lot of unrest in indonesia on the island of territory and was brought into exile and often to release even resided in the book of. and he opened the very 1st mosque and the school for people of color to the 16th. and he's a fee, they'd be a very proud though because of what he presumes to us. i think it, it changes how we feel about that post. so this hara involved with being colored, you know, it comes with colonization. it's comes with violence, the narrative that exist, there's a colored, so will the tools are, you know, people who are maybe rates and so in order to kind of rid ourselves from the same

of being college, think, tell the to, from somewhere else you asian. and then you can relate kind of feels the sales romantic ties you into it. well, it's ancient and civilized that loves you was supporting the time. that's a royal this call to this dignity. this is book up and it was wines known as the malay. cool to even if we live in other spaces of the city, this is the neighborhood that holds our history. sonya often inserts himself and your family history and to your work as an act of defiance and recommendation. this is exemplified in her. i am royal series of what was about kind of amplifying the dishonesty of colonial history of a positive history and try and recreate the history which i feel is more honest

about to re all the, all the costumes that was either synonymous was the royalty or which you're reading the agent is also about the fantasy, and i think it's a condition of people who have been displaced. you know, we have a fantasy, a certain place of where we come from, is it by the emotional healing and psychological healing. and that is, i guess i approach my own and i am royal is actually a gift for my kids. so it was also about physically be presenting myself in the spaces so that they could see that they didn't belong to. this is district 6, and this is the place that by my the as well as my grand parents were evicted from forcibly by that but they've government. my grandfather ran 3 businesses from this place. he lost everything. what i found interesting about when i was going to photographs of a family in of, in the archives, is that they started emulating the people who are presuming. so i'm curious

as british, as i possibly could imagine a british person to look kind of, exposes a shift in the psychological and emotional state of my community. we place towards accepting possibly the fate of what has become of him. this whole series of work you find that i carry this backdrop with me. it's things from the home. and what is very present isn't that you can take away from us. you can take away our imagination, you can take away a spirit, i will take my skills with me. and for me, that is kind of our resistance that's of survival. and that is ultimately what the rates us into in between the 2, tanya, was artist in residence at the museum in tune is producing a collection of all twigs with local artisans. it was all it does is who work in

ceramics and was middle because i was making all the middle components which i was teaching into my sculptures and also into my tapestries. and then also i was working with offices in india and only know and i can say over the one year, i think i collaborated with about a 100 offices. so my work is collaborative. the more people that tell the story through the making of it, i think the more complex it becomes the key, everything's maybe become. sonya begins, the tapestries escaped saying, adding photographic images digitally to the principal design or fabric and workshops, ideas with authors ads who will help who bring it to life based on mediaeval hell modes, which is kind of a present that as well as the previous collecting and ransacking outlines,

so i often drew on the colonial um paintings and prints and bring them into the work as a way of kind of see thing. it's great while where it can be found in may to collections around the world for sonya art is a personal quiz and a call to action. is that a choice to make or to such anything and i've been making or since i was born is not even about a career. it's just what i do with royal blood flowing through her veins and, and a to stick vision. sonya peterson is said to make her marked in the glue. we'll see no back to you is on you use a c color turns in your design palate twice. i'm personally very interested in that . the said origins of human kind. i think i'm a tourist, so i'm very much assigned always going to the natural and how does your design highlight the special qualities of african materials such as well?

we have a very cuz i'm working relationship with k fools as well as morris of africa. and that sponsor, for example, the collection that was trying to milan we use a lot of will, will in all different kinds of phones and will, so things will more in like a salting context. so to me, it's very nice to celebrate the abundance of romance arrows that we have. what advice would you give to aspiring session design is who want to make a difference? i really believe if, if sustainability is not part of your values, it's not even relevant to start a brand today on ultimate recurring is messaging. we can't complain about what this country is or what this award is. if we don't change things ourselves. thank you so much. design, sue a room tomorrow at july in gonna champions there was cycling of gold to create more than pieces, but not relying on fresh he mind gold. he reduces environmental pressure and adds

value to the countries rule results. this when i started like this, i didn't have money, but i had my skills that i had some tools. i had a very supportive family, scroll down my side as sometimes that's all you need to successfully take off the before gun a gained independence in 1957. the country with some newness cool would cost for abundance of good resist. crochet supports of the environments by some mine this in the form of illegal mine in see you, are you a coma, as one of the female, joyless and gamma for sees in the environment in his own way by recycling golding to mode and pieces instead of relying on flush, the mind go have always been very interested in the concepts of recycling and

undergrad. my thesis was on recycling or mentoring donna and my eyes were open to so many things the mining industry as well as leaving unrelated in the last few years. and people are taking mothers into their own hands and yet it's showing that what somebody just trying to for us and we, we just don't want to be a part of this whole crisis. see you tomorrow. i'm expecting to produce. so precious jewelry has always had passion for the act. since she was a child with the support of it and to put new parent, sees thoughts at the enterprise in a narrow corridor which was converted into which things had business as no boon with about 8 employees. we loved to make meaningful pieces and we left to you that didn't grow symbols to send messages across one of my previous symbols of this article, 5 symbol which of these land from the past. because i mean,

it's very important to go back see what other people have done, learn from their mistakes, and improve on the things that they could not do. we tried to play a part to use. they fix even go online is having the environment by encouraging our customers to bringing gold and id already have right. how fast of earrings booking product, so that we can turn them into a new product. the. we also have a buyback program which we initiated about 5 years ago, where we encourage customers to walk in and sell their own good products to us forecasts. a buyback program has been very successful. every year we see an increase in the amount of recycle goals. we use in a decrease in the amount of freshly mine gold. i'm glad that's program hasn't been without telling is we cost on any fees or threats of having criminals work in,

you know, someone can go and steal someone's dory, going to sell it to you. and then when you have court, they'll come back and say, oh, we sold it to them. when the police obviously went to take back the jewelry. so we have a, a rigorous process where we make sure we have your identification. and if you walk in and we feel like we are not sure, but you look suspicious as we just do not by because we don't want to encourage crime as well in this profession as why leaving male dominated. i just knew i could do it. i mean, i was good, i did, i was doing good. that's it. and as or that much it for them is having in work for you has been telling you that has been coming to work for me. and i thought a few months to tell me the kinds of constructions when the woman so i should give instructions to another mind so that in mind can give them the instructions that i can directly address devon. is really telling you i've had, i've had it all,

but i think i'm a strong press and, and i know this is what i meant to do and i'm just doing it. i'm very happy when i make things and i see the joy and people seizes. but sadly from brighton who they loved them and they're happy. it's a lot of joy to see my wonderful kind of jesus being wrong by anybody. i mean, if i make something in his just for you, it gives me pride and joy to know there was something that is out that not duplicating something that even though go out to see any of that personal way. i'm excited to work way through here because she believes that as i say, not really thing which i also identify with because it gives us the opportunity to be able to recycle both ways and reduces that price out online in phase cool every time to do all i jory the goal buyback program has a very bright future that hope that with time i pass on my experience to other members of associations that i'm

a part of and out of the association. so jewelers also come on board by the time we realize most of us we just to not be relying or freshly mangled. and we can do our best to save the environment. so you can only use this goal, sofa diamond and precious stones, to produce affordable and stunning jewelry with a splash of money and us and some one of them for the modern day pass in the views of full recycled gold faces with a beautiful message. she is truly of high india, often and during jihad is defined as in 2012. tim, up to the historic city of west africa is experiencing a re awakening. he brought him and done a slab po, it takes us on a captivating to showcasing the cultural richness of the city and its legacy as
