the just education makes the world make up your own mind. made for mines the same dictates the price of policy to be asked to feel within sub africa as a live than ever before. this thing was auto stuff gathered, pulled this prestigious one case, and that's being, that's the festival it's. it's been a brace and like no other with an all star lineup. but before we get into the festival and so much more, we need to remain semo. oh, cool. cool, also known as gross to quick, who the started off his photography, korea, with just the sofa and we experience how my dear young musician, victoria felina, goes one step said the boy. then we see how a group of girls are read the funding,

skateboarding as an empowering tool for this, and the maids. my name is depending on the how much you are watching. i feel like the tony been built in the 1975 punch. atalla is the tool in this apartment block and advocate is to get this building used to be a vegetable oven. slum it has been revitalized by the most close and has attracted global recognition as it's also painted in many hollywood movies. have you ever heard of africa's pointless residential building? this is the punted towel was situated in johannesburg, south africa, the infamous fixture, which tends to right next to hill bro was one to ask because 1st, vertical urban, the skyscraper has made several appearances in some hollywood films such as

resident evil and check the extent of the pope lifted image attracts phones directive to know that this building comes from the associate error, the tab will open in 1975 as a focal point of appearance during the goals. in south africa, however, plenty fell into the hands of the drug dealers. gang says him and prostitute in one of the most inspiring regeneration projects on the continent, young epic, into the industry, to johannesburg, captains from the infamous tell us, and to america, with thousands of visitors all over the world. 24 year old gun mobile currently leads to projects showing the history of this towering skyscraper. they used to be about 8000 people that lived here, and they used to chop all the rubbish into the middle of the building. and as you can see now, it doesn't look that way that building has been picked up very nicely and we have enough what she needs to actually bring people here on to. busy plunge it,

which means just play is hulu is more than just a tourism company. it also has the community center on the ground floor, which provides a safe space which worked with the same facility that these kids went through it as the safety. lo so that i went through and now i'm able to do this towards and also give that to the community architect who rode me. prescott design it off market space with over $400.00 apartments, posting retail shopping on the ground level, something almost unheard of 50 years ago. his daughter still remembers the building when her father designed it. in fact, it was advertised as the kind of previous space to be in all of the apartments were furnished. and i mean, i remember coming here as a child and seeing the carpet on the roof is going up in the duplexes, which i thought was just the birth,

beautiful thing i have ever seen. oh boy is adamant at lunch. it creates genuine opportunities with kind of freaking you in the country with growing sort of food here and not just promoting poverty porn. i grew up here and photo for chi to challenge it also grew up in disabled. so we don't look at this as sort of the same, but then as us showing people our neighborhood jalencia has welcome over 25000 visitors since 2012 and has high hopes for the future. a so grades to see that it was a delight to place that building is now hosting. so that's great. so this is memory thing, 50 years of democracy, the beginning, the festival, ac unites the nation that through music and done then over this in the state to take place. i don't like comic lands walk within so i forgot the constitution you and this morning i got to head off with the ground, the award winning all to 6. but denise, to give me a little bit more insight about the c bed. so you say that this will always be the

home of feeling the festival for us, but initially who is the festival for this for the use of the so we do understand the disagree. for the significance of this, i visited the visits of pretoria. i picked up in 2 weeks ago and i was sitting down with that with, with young people. they just asking them what for the mean? great minds a means to that i was such a life when i was young. i used to spend time with a lot of or with a lot of old people now old. so, and that's the general who's the type of the young people that. yeah. and basically that's, that's what it is. let's talk about the selection of us that you've caught up for this because i feel like lately this morning doesn't cosivity when you look at like i was very, so fish, i've got part of this thing. i was basically because i want to just watch people that i like, you've been in the industry for such a long time and i'm so you've been through all the different genres that have come and gone. this took a lot of how music has evolved over the years, i think in south africa. right now we have to start accepting the fact that we can

have more than one ton of popular. sure. so i feel like no way here. can you just make sure that you don't come with a new agenda now? we have to continue, you know, send it so that we are able to have history of what is happening in the country. what makes thank you so much for the catch up and it's going to be an absolute but let's most without attention to god know we, we, to photographer his style, set his career with just a mobile phone. you know, just use the conceptual photography and his name as some will include cove. some will, it will, could co has, i see highlights the obstacles of everyday life. would photographic precision. but what is it that he uses his craft to depict life struggles? before we find those how the student is 6 year old time is obstacles. and so for trinity's less find out what made him choose conceptual apps. or if it's for us than himself, i choose going says 12 photography because i don't speak much. and i think what was

that dr. photography helped me to speak a lot with that little accurate. so both for the people in the streets who i went through a lot, i see that's what i teach, speaks for them and worked for my past. and what i've been through some well was born and raised as to home and parent evans, how in the eastern region of gun a work in the field here comes often before school would i would quote you as the made economic activity. but why did some will change himself to level for to grow fee is such an environment like this? right, right. that's the secondary education. i wasn't able to continue because there was a lot of financial issue in the house. so i wanted to practice with athletics in this group. so i started with all the forms of at least i resorted to photography because it was easy i could edit on my phone and maybe publish it. tell my story

with its concepts off with the graphs. it looks very stream to a lot of people, so how they reacted outside and that is the same way. my family is that the reactive, my sister's my mom the way or thinking that that was agreement. the beginning i will go out, i find anything on the streets, i just bring it through. then i will come in the rest of my little brenda with this . so they were asking questions that why don't you go to the convention? i'll wait while you sit in this, we meet that when they set the seeing the results that kind of attends inductive away giving me the stuff that i'm not spending from humble beginnings. how does some more transition from using mobile phones to becoming a professional? who's westwood exhibited internationally, such as in new york? i just got that by sign on the phone. so if that's a such as being team and last racing, by the way, oh no,

we will because the way expensive. so i resorted to moving phones on so, and the defend gifted me and mobile phone. so that's where it started. some was started by showcasing is up on east the gone. i checked in mentors who measured his balance, leads to both local and it's a national exhibitions with sort of shows a galleries like fil, a freaks in geneva, switzerland. currently 2 color points would kline such as latasha board, which we brand and it shoots album covers awesome. i think you 1st name from what i've been through in the past. and once people go through on the streets up on all this traveling be, find a bit or small, like you see those mile in moving on with life. so to them out, and i'm seeing this mind coming includes that struggle. i see the elements of beauty in was so i'm going to try out the concept around with them. see maybe bring

out the beauty and what i so the hey, wait a pods form is what's their weights and stories rooted in real life struggles. some will also age to impart the youth within his local community working for someone who hasn't empowered me in a way that from the little that he had, he was a move to create a great photos. and if so, and the uniqueness of this image is mind blowing, working for someone else in the beginning, i think it's us, it may help from the institution that i've been getting from him and the images that gave me producing. now i want to take more than in the us and helping you get that goal in the near future. but the one i said question is, why does someone choose to do conceptual photography, positive trust? the graphs, he never was brought the notes because the images i went places that they have no

uh, people with disorders like posttraumatic disorders and on that phone. so from and out and going, this was the thing was send me the telling me that the images are giving them a lot of comfort. so i should know still. so new quotes involves that lots we have for now by what's pushes me a lot. is the 50 vos, the colors, and everything. so ali, there is a general misconception that's desk and associated with the poverty. i just want to put this out to the last can also have something to do. and i just want to show people the uniqueness of the tasking symbols. what will continue to inspire generations yet to come? that would limited resources. one can achieve their dreams. now that you've had to look behind the correct method event,

let's find out what needs the gloves and some of the performance gets day. i'm looking forward to the nice oh you're really looking for me. yeah. yeah. maybe they obviously the graveyard reading the days they spend 3 me and the scorpion king. i'm up. yeah. i know that switching over the world. so i'm definitely looking forward to that. yeah. so here let them take you over the world. yes. on that i know so you don't have the people who are there. if you have to give me 2 words. describe that lineup, which words magnificent exception on the i think explicitly curious as well as bio via that's it. it's a boss. and finally, what does freedom mean to you? because we know the freedom that says freedom coordinates, we don't mean being able to put the page and everything may be the economy, politics, everything. and because of what happened years ago were able to do what are we

doing today? and when you, this is freedom of victoria for long as the musician from canada seals that has that help away from nigeria most he's going one step further than the boy. as you do this, to sound the soul attributes and make music creates her electric style. the music type of various topics, such as those of identity, i'm telling and you also get things social justice. and so that seems highly praised fluids, certainly thing performances under exceptional vigils. go on and surprise me. i love is a you could call her a blood sugar because it's not just musical. you but she likes moving around. i know before we find out what's the new was project of this charismatic singer songwriter. let's find why victoria fall and i decided to settle and make us nigeria after traveling the world travel on the case. then

i think one of the most interesting things about traveling and coming back to nigeria is seeing the different ways that now gen culture has influence culture around the world. so like i live in cuba and i'm, they're seeing in the purest form a, your boss story, your, of a culture embedded in their culture and so rich. so for me, like coming to say ok, i'm not going to sit down in legal as a, as a place. i'm going to make sure that all my music is rooted here. it just makes sense cuz it's the source of everything, the board and candidates, and i do, and parents, victoria fall and i lived abroad in the u. k. cuba, denmark, and the united states of america following a has created sounds that reflect her journey,

inspired by sounds of these various cities. let's find out where this musician decided to live in a place. her parents call home. being home is like being rooted and grounded in yourself in your truth as an artist. that's the place you need to create from. as an artist, when you have that, the energy, the vibrations, the within the history of who you are, the need for your feet. and in the air and in the conversations that you're having with people, it just, it makes you come to life in a different way with her move tonight, syria fall, and that has become a fixture and the lake ocean sounds great. but before we get to know more about her sound, let's find where she gets her musical influence is from me there's a have to be crazy, can be any artist and to pursue arts history. ask me a little bit of like crazy because it's unpredictable. you know, and you're, you're literally putting yourself out into the world to be judged, to be ridiculed,

to be adored, to be ignored. all of those things for me. i always knew that my voice carried power and weeds and i always knew that thing said to me in a very special way. and then it just grew from there. you know, stage after stage, after stage, after recording, after recording. and then you begin to find that people resonate with the stories and the songs you're seeing the every day is different. so i brought you that one and you guys to be in the studio with me. so i might start on the case, for example. um, so for example, i remember when and saw has happened. it was a very emotional of moments in our history and i just felt so overwhelmed with emotions. so one of the 1st thing here, the

muslim normandy wing, much more freedom. you call me the embassy. the. 7 this multi linguist has adapted missing astro beats r and b and other black dyersburg sounds into her music by musicians. these sites as a primary influences such as for lack would see nina simone to lauren hill. but before we get to know about her sound, let's hear more about her musical journey. i think one of the arts is that i, maia, when it comes to collaboration, is it keeps saying her name,

like caea. she can collaborate with anybody. i think people think that they have an idea of art is that i am, but that's the fun thing about being i can change it. any time follows. passion for her craft is evidence in her stage performance from drumming her precautions to her dance booth. jack music for me was always me trying to like search for different tools like calhoun, i'm self taught. i never took classes on how to play this thing. you know? remember when i started singing, i used to like hunch my back, you know, it was all like a learning process, learning how to produce, eventually, just the journey really just have to keep learning. the more you learn, the more hungry you are open to new things you are. the sky is the limit really the photos residential sound, caters to the recitation blending african inspired rhythms. the cuban inspired sounds with her velvety soul vocals and thought provoking lyrics on pains of life

and love the girl. i'm always in the kind of person when people are going right. you know, i don't even go left, i go up, you know, i like to just explore. so my hair is evolved. people remember me with the proof of raise that was in loop. that was a moment, but we're in a different era. so as i evolved my hair changes, but i'm still myself. now people have to look into my eyes. look at my face. the creative landscape of nigeria has flourished with the musicians like falling to imagine as remarkable voices within it. showcasing her blossoming tap in such a mixture of different sounds. such a rid talent. when one thinks about skateboarding they think about boys and roughness, however, in my road became yeah. a group of young girls have decided to break the stereotype as they are bracing the sports and re defining what it actually looks like. this

is no ruby or female scapes club, but it's so much more than just learning to skate. how does this group health impact young gulf in kenya? and what does the 10 inches be had to overcome in a male dominated sport? that's good. and i wrote before me a space where i can just come in as gates as a space where women come in and gets empowered to get to be represented. anybody can come in and be presented. it's a really cool space ghost getting it, rosie gross gates. and i, ruby was founded by antoinette and lima. it's not just you typical ladies hand out . they are recluse needs community, the advocates for the inclusion of women in skateboarding and even got the attention of international gatewood pro tony hawk. how they achieved that. we'll tell you later, but 1st, what exactly is it that they do?

so both good, there will be is community for go 1st get bored in a row, be. so it came about scores. we the 1st when i started skating, which is like 2 years ago. i came and i didn't find a list of people who are female skate of to believe male skate of. so i came down with an internet in 2023 last year. and we started having the conversation about what you could do to bring together a female sketch of. and that is how we just started over and instagram page then. oh, it's up to and now we are here. we have like i said, just right now we have a go skips team that is ongoing right now. we are here right now at the fuck ho, east, me skate. we have a change in of skating leg together. we skate 2 times in a week where we come to the escape, but we come to showing the landscapes folk. we go to the mall and we also do

streetscape folks. since starting out an average of 50 goes have lunch to skate through the club. but for most of the group says, as a support system as well. gosh, good nato b has been a good support system for me as a speech board that i'm having sketch boarded for what it as well is being somewhat discouraging. going to a buck and not seeing someone who's like you. so being in this space has really been inspiring for me as a, as good for that. i really appreciate, does kitchen i, roby was emotionally. when mentally i was you mentally like i put into van socialize with people. but at the moment since i started, i found a place to express my to yes, the way um and they improve socially. and they had to say sure. and they had to into way somehow, so i feel great about that just keeps an eye, ruby goes beyond peach, voiding the members strive to create awareness on gender equality and the lack of

representation in the sports. um that's good and there will be a is a, has a big part in raising awareness of social justice like social equality input to a law group. we have a lady who produces funds and we were able to go in the vote funds to go for free. the community of females, peak board as having counted numerous challenges with limited resources, posing a significant total to every kick flips they attend, where we actually put a lot of challenges because plus the one we have, females. we a gov and being a good already. you're already a target to being discriminated. another challenge you face is getting and it'll be hard. so you can skid to learn as a grad plus the where latest you it's, it's just things are. the group was formed to act as a creative outlet and

a space for self expression. it costs the attention of many enthusiasm all over the globe, including american skateboarder. tony will be posted by tony hol, though is so great for me and it's made really it was even more less for me during the q clip loving it. it was the sense of community that was shown to that review of how people would inform we need to support each other. the female skates is also gather here at the more popular rooftop serving as a training ground with baby find the skills. so we're here at the mall, it's our rooftop. this is, well, it's a combination of the creative minds. this is where a skateboarding art music. this is about all that. to me it's, it's a space for us to express how it feels in different ways. music, skateboarding via mex, 5, sean, and all that one to bring up

a team of go to construct a how to got a voice so that they can imply i'm will go to joins good forwarding. and we also want to have a sketch box that is specifically for gov. in the heart of nairobi, the group has forged a bone that transcends to escape block. it is a true sisterhood, as they come with their own paths in a male dominated support. these women are rewriting the rules and inspiring others to do the same. a decent heal the cnn, the festival. we hope that you enjoyed the so as much as needed to make sure that you take a spouse on d, w dot com, forward slash feedbacks until next time its bye for now, the,
