most as the war and myself as russian for paris to face the ukrainian counter offensive. how safety is prudent positions? thank you for inviting me conflict zone. in 60 minutes on the w, we are all set and we're watching closely. we all seem to bring you the story behind the news. we roll about unbiased information for 3 months. the reason she is a creative our team has been the for, and the in the trend of collaborating to bring a broad autistic offering to the public, creating space as a house move in just one creative expression and in the process, strengthening the creative community. today we're exploring such a space, the association of all the tour you hear performing awesome fine arts come together

in an exciting way for megs in the sense that collaboration is at the core of creative expression. and with that, in case of attitude, we bring it today show, kicking off with the wall moon, some a foot with the flip flop the functional, colorful, and shape. perhaps that is why 3 put in event a made every year. sadly, these flip flops. finally away into oceans, waterways and dump sides in the thousands. a group of autism is a narrow be, however, on a mission to turn trash into tricia. we shadow top shift maurice echo as he re ships the color mary landscape with his unique fusion with africa meets japan and later in my loudly how excited about the hyundai shows, how sing? true to your creates a vision is a road to success. i am sure,

besides witnessing the and you are watching out for max the we are reading it today show from a contemporary art gallery that has been in existence for 75 years. the association of aust pretoria has during this impressive lives spent initiates as the most of africans, most prestigious competitions, including settling you 6 inches before we meet with the jury to beat the flemish testified pacific. let's move to the beats of polite need. a singer songwriter and story time a. she was the crowds and johannesburg. my main campus is the story. and then music is a pain by colors that story the

and the reason why music is a powerful tool in helping us, you know, kind of that story is that it houses, you know, sounds that are healing at houses. stories that he named that at all are the people to unpack a message, unpack themselves. so, you know, find themselves p man who is an award winning seamless on right to who social voice has been heard in concepts. and 1st of all, across the globe. she calls herself the intelligible story teller, a title that highlights her mandate, not just to make music that she uses the put to bring influence the power of storytelling, indelible. not able to be forgotten, and that is the power of her sound. the,

when i started my journey and kind of pursuing my passions, i started growth in corporate and studied like no and marketing. and there came a time in my life where i realize that creativity really is the power of transformation in the world. creative consciousness is about the idea that we as people are all creative and will co create as of life. and that gives us the accountability that we have of what we contribution to the world. there's a story about a crowd that broke sideways and crap, the whole ways, walking sideways because we're not going forward to it. never walking straight. any. tell me anybody who wants to try to and they're going forward 10 years as a self funded independence musicologist culminated in the in nor world folk little festival, founded by providing housing. october 2022. this was a vibrant celebration of african culture community and heritage. the 1st of its kind in the country, the

music that were performing at the football festival is music that was inspired by time and a place i spent in the tron sky when i was growing up as a little girl, being in close proximity with the village learning traditional folk songs and remembering how fun it was to sing in my language, how fun it was to sing. and that's kind of music, which is really inherent of the bundle people. the every voice has a bed that vibrates at a particular, you know, kind of level timber. and so, you know, some motive, someone who gave me a lot of freedom in my voice. and uh, you know, the lives of ella fitzgerald,

you know, gave me the freedom of sort of motion and music kind of t and phrasing. in jazz. as i, as i cool that started loving jazz memory care about, you know, always an influence in this space, particularly fusing no global genres with all traditional folk music and taking it to the world. the when i traveled and kind of toward around the world, people would always look at me as that woman. you know, women who comes from south africa. what does that mean? what is your story? are you telling the story of your people? are you sharing enough of the music of your people and that's how focus have to on this path. and essentially how folks will festival was best, is this idea that'd be old carrying this thing that forms a part of identity, but that needs to be preserved and captured and using sort of music as a technology to do that. because if it wasn't, i guess from a miriam, would i ever have learnt the folk song or more time the so i think language

and having, you know, singles and other holders of sort of indigenous content like mammogram has been absolutely christian and essential and influential in my career as well, particularly at this moment where i feel like i have this purpose, a sense of purpose in driving for an agenda to keep indigenous on the systems, but also to house our stories. as african people in music, the smoking is about a woman who snapped an old man, pulled him by the bid. and spect, i mean, she's agreed and i then wrote the med, the song, my goal is to describe why is this woman upset and is this conversation we're constantly having about domestic issues in south africa. it's modern social context, but it's also still the task. so when you trace back the culture, how do we find those tells you the history of broken black families understanding

of how do we arrive at a woman, gives birth to a lineage of children, which is a woman. but them is also ill treated when she is actually at the cool is the ink to break of life for families. so that song was kind of extending that idea of guns, disgruntled women, whose slapping old man, why, if she's so angry because she's a muscle in the family, which is the bride. and potentially she feels like the environment is so i think abusive because she's required to do a lot to prove herself as if it were not enough that cheapest kids the now back to today as we meet with the director of the association of aust vittoria, so space is incredible. we have a wonderful exhibition. yeah. it's cool. 50 parts for 50 years,

and this is only incredible there. and this has to participate in this specific exhibition. being part of such an impressive gallery with an amazing traffic could a space for the people. why is this so important, especially for the off this association both established in 1947 and except the farm is. it's a place where all the lovers and octaves and visions come together to show our, to everybody and standing here. i see the grand piano. i'm assuming that it's not just a decrease to a very good friend of mine who is also a phone sort of this gallery. the time you one day you need to meet both you really on thing shit. and one of these does this useful have dream before the part is gathering nice, uniform shift. i would love to have the fusing of the perform means and the visual

arts. this is the meat. what do you need unless the dream appear? and let's talk a bit about the system, you signature competition. we must be the platform for young, and that's coming off to his art is a part of who we are. i think it's a foundation of the main characteristics as of who we as africans. but at the same time, i feel like there isn't enough supports, you know, but if you think of how mean artist one does competition, you know, they, they, they would naturally a place, you know, off to the competition. yes. can they even internationally? i mean there's people this octave who exhibits right through the world and, and they should talk that they could react with the thoughtfulness. it gives us all of this is absolutely absolutely amazing. before explore the wonderful ceramics

that are part of this current exhibitions. list travels with a brief ton of central pain powers for more spectral fuses japanese, an applicant disease, much to the delight of his clientele. becky then is actually typically japanese, but top french chef maury. psycho is turning it into an international dish. with influence is from all over the world. he wants to bring new taste experiences to french cuisine we've got, well, we have something here that is part japanese, part african for example, the course with homeless. so with chick peas, it is, it brings to mind the middle east. i want to go on a colon every journey from one bye to another. we quickly go from asia to the middle east to africa, just. that's what i'm trying to do here in central pay. since june 2020 to maurice echo has been busy in san to pay to the city on the french co does do is known as a playground for the rich and famous. here. the sheriff has opened his 2nd

restaurants in cooperation with luxury brand levy top, but i think we're seeing is largely influenced by my background and my passion. i bring it all together and create something unique in french cuisine. and i get one of these especially include japanese and african influences which characterize the meals at his restaurants. morris, i grew up with his parents of molly and senegalese origin, near paris, in addition to his classical training as a shift. he was also influenced by the food he knew from his childhood. because if you live, when i opened my restaurant in paris, i was looking for all these traditional recipes. i asked my mother, how do you do this? how do you do that? i learned a lot in the process. yeah. i used to eat whatever she cooked, but not actually care about how she prepared it. if it has montgomery living, maurice that goes to success is validation for his concept. because this is false to the secret to my success,

i think is that i am so passionate about what i do. i'm going to the guests noticed that i really try to do what i know and what i feel and do it as honestly as possible. if i maintain the sincerity, nothing should go wrong things. yeah, that i said, okay, yeah. so the web restaurant for more a soco creating new dishes and flavor combinations is always an emotional process that comes from the heart. he's no fan of strict rules, but what's the most important thing is to be free to have the freedom to play with different inspirations and ingredients that you find and want to use it to be able to compose freely to enjoy yourself and have fun in the limo, i think that if you have join your work is then the guests will notice and will enjoy the flu. his eccentric creations and willingness to experiment had made maurice echo. one of the most popular shifts in france, the and she's now dreaming of also opening

a restaurant in africa. and the country auto is often seen as a means of attracting tourist and teller at the hyundai who's changing the shape of our appreciation. i'm allowing, we went to see what she's all about. i absolutely feel like tourist art is like it kills concepts and kills. it kills our experiences, tourist artist just for stifled art. the in a country where most artist, mass produced paintings for a tourist market. one artist has gained international recognition with her approach to address issues pertaining to identity, empowerment and so forth. malawi and bore and makes media artist throughout the hyundai is a creature extra to now. she's constantly refining her work and redefining the ways in which our test to creativity seeps into every aspect of it has a lot of pressure. now i think of social media where we see

a lot of artist to copy and paste. okay, so this is the african authentic. no, no. you can. you can create your own fedex. and if you really refinance, it will be great dialing. there is no shame in steering down a 4th road and choosing to sit. i'm an architectural technologist by education. i have a bachelor's degree in the architecture. so i'm also a designer. do interior design work in malawi? i i'm a communications officer full time for our grant making organization. i am a visual artist. that is, i think something that i've been my whole life. um, and i'm also the co founder of a connect us called warner connective and also an arts connective which should slides on the lived experiences of women. i'm a creator, but i also am a very passionate about life experiences. and i think as i've grown older,

i've been more passionate about women's experiences and not only my own, but the ones that i have observed. my mantra is that i'm an artist with a purpose greater than myself. i gave him an a lease and grades i turn term blue into an avatar and took her to make my loan. and then here i was exploring african print material, which i'm not really a big fan of his days cuz is i think it's less representative spaces. this is one of my most favorite pieces. essentially. when i created this piece, i had just finished my bachelor's degree. i was in this in a space where i was looking for work and i wasn't really finding work, so i decided that in order to find work, i needed to delve into my purpose. they needed to delve into what i think i can

do well, which is painting and i really decided that this is going to be the best painting i've ever done with. your unique voice directors managed to stand out in the difficult, i've seen in malawi. what is the recipe for success? i have always been putting myself out there, even though i, i think i appear to be a shy person or a quiet attention or an introverted person. i will share my work and i, i, i want people to see my work before they see me and i will create work and share it . that's the, that's something that i think in this generation is making creative stripe fires with a work. the rental also wants to inspire fellow creatives across the continent. would love to see more african artist be authentic. be offensive, be true to themselves. the more i focused on my art, and the more i put myself out, the more i was brave. a lot of out there,

the more money i made, the more deals i got. i remember the 1st god god. when i became a freelance artist and animator or whatever was a gig from the netherlands. and i was asking them how they found me and they said from your social media, and then i got a gig from uganda and from south africa and america. the arts has been 2nd nature for me in my life. i think it's a way of being, it's a way of living. and for me, i think the most important thing is leaving, and i guess the next you started out as a child during pictures in the sand, did you ever imagine that you'd be sustaining your life through all at the

beginning? no. it was more fun. making toys and have fun myself and the love started to go in every time when you make it stories, it's a, it's a new design and it's a new experiment. when i started teaching, i wanted the kids to feed how i feel when i'm, when i'm creating that, you know, when you do add you as more like feeding the soul. and, and they that feeling that you have during that time peacefully, you know, you have, you would have peace of mind. and then you wouldn't think of anything that, that happening, something you. so when did they transfer that feeling to that your work as so vibrant color for them, so beautiful. but i know that was to remix our toilet lease. when i was growing up . there wasn't always that way. can you please explain the change that has taken place and in this, in this medium defense? because we're not like these as well. you, you can tell when you paint,

how does it gonna come out until it's been fired? and then later on is the technology. you majors so we end up having the new colors where you can be able to see how it's going to come up. alex, thank you so much for joining us here today. thank you so much. time to travel north to kenya with another group on, on, a turning of problems into a solution to the right to things in kenya, who put animal sketches of all shapes and sizes, many of which are life sized together. the we purpose almost a 1000000 flip flops each year into a thing of beauty in their own little ways. they are working to make our world
