a group of girls are read the funding, skateboarding as an empowering tool for this, and the name. my name is sophia, how about that? and you are watching our free bags. the tony been built in the 1975 parties. how, what is the tool in this apartment block an advocate is to get this building used to be a vegetable oven. slum it has been revitalized by the motels 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 point to tell, 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 extensive apocalyptic image attracts phones director for the 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, kansas pins and prostitutes in one of the most inspiring regeneration projects on the continent. young epic and still in the city, johannesburg kept transformed the infamous tell us. and to america, with thousands of visitors from all over the world, 24 year old gun mobile currently leads to projects serving 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 cleaned up very nicely. and we

have an opportunity to actually bring people here on. busy lunch area, 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 possibility 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 duplex foods,

which i thought was just the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. oh boy is adamant at lunch. it creates genuine opportunities with kinda freaking use in the country with growing sort of food here and not just promoting poverty porn. i grew up here and photo for a guy to challenge it also grew up in this neighbor. so we don't look at this as sort of the same, but then as us showing people our neighborhood deadline, jay has welcome over 25000 visitors since 2012 and has high hopes for the future of a so grades to see that it was a delight to face 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 city to take place at an iconic landmark within. so africa, 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 course, but initially who is the festival for this, for the use of it. so really understand the disagree for the significance of this i visited during the visit to fix or i've been, i've been 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 oh, with a lot of old people now old. so and that's the general, 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 there's not enough increase of it to you. when you look at lighting up. i was very so fish, i've got another thing i was basically because i wanted to just watch people that i like even in the industry with 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 110, popular, sure. as well. i feel like no way. yeah. 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 was like thank you so much for the catch up. and it's going to be an absolute, but let's most without attention to god, no we, we to photographers his style, set his career with just a mobile phone, you know, just use the conceptual photography and his name as summer. oh, cool. cool. so will, it will, could cool fasick and 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 out how the student is 6 year old son is obstacles. and so for trinity's less find out what made him choose conceptual opt of it's for us than himself. i chose concepts 12 with the graphs and 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 both for my past and what i've been through some well was born and raised his home at po evans house in the eastern region of gun at work in the field. he had comes often before school would, i would quote you as the main economic activity. but why does some will challenge 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 atlanta in this group. so i started with all the forms

of cuts and list that resulted to photography because it was easy. i could edit on my iphone and maybe publish it. tell my story with its concepts off with a graphic looks very stream to a lot of people. so how they reacted outside the it's the same way. money from these that the reactive mind says this. 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 to. 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 need that when the effective seeing the results that kind of attends inductive way given 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 started by saying on the phone, so if that's

a such as being team and less facing, by the way, oh no, we will. because the way expensive, so i resorted to throw in phones on so, and the defend gifted me and mobile phone. so that's where it started. some was started by showcase and it's up on east the gone. i chucked in mental, as we mentioned, the style is leading to both local and it's a national exhibitions which sort of shows at galleries like fil, a freaks in geneva, switzerland. currently, he collaborates with clients such as latasha board, which where we brand shoots, album covers access 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, the 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 carrying fluids in that struggle. i see the elements of

beauty in was so i'm going to try out the concept around with them. see, and maybe bring out the new team, what i saw in their wake up pots for ms. west and i read some stories rooted in real life struggles. some also aimed to impart the youth within his local community working for someone else has empowered me in a way that from the little that he had, he was able to create a great photos and here so in the uniqueness of images of mind blowing, working for someone else in the beginning, i think it's as it may help from the institution that i've been getting from him and the images that clearly 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 concept trust the graphs,

e email, who hasn't brought the notes because the images are way in places that they have no uh, people with the sort this like posttraumatic disorders and on the 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 stuff. so got new quotes that involves that lots we have for now about what's pushes me a lot. is the 50 vos, the colors and everything. so early there is a general misconception that desk and associated with a port richey. i just wanted to put this out. and the last can also have something to give. and i just wanted to show before the uniqueness of the tasking symbols which 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 christmas present, let's find out what music levels and some of the performance gets day on looking full of to the nice oh you're really looking for me. yeah. yeah. maybe they obviously the green yard reading v j is expunged. re me and the scorpion king. i'm up. yeah, no, that's what you move of the world. so i'm definitely looking for it so that yeah. so you let them take you over the world you, it's on the line so you don't have the people who are there. yeah, it's a gives me 2 words. describe that, like which words, magnificent exceptionality. yeah. i think explicitly flory f as well. file via that's it. as a box. and finally, what does freedom mean to you? because we know the freedom to best those freedom coordinator. 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 new person from canada seems to have that help all the way from nigeria mostly is going one step further than the voice. as you do this, the sounds of sole attributes and it makes tronic music to create her electric style music type of various topics such as those of identity, empowerment and you also get things social justice. and so that seems highly praised. well, it's the only thing performances on her exceptional vigil. go on, surprise me. i love is a you could call her a blood sugar because it's not just musically that 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 in lagos, nigeria, after traveling the world travel on the 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 as your boss stories, you're about culture embedded in their culture. it's 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 and 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 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 to nigeria fall, and that has become a fixture and the legal 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 this 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,

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. and i might start on the case, for example. um, so for example, i remember when and song 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 lived in the wing lodge for freedom, you call me the embassy the. 7 7 this multi linguist has adapted missing arrow beats r and b and other black dyersburg sounds into her music by musicians. these sites as a primary influences such as for luck, 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'm, i,

or when it comes to collaboration, as i keep saying her name like caea, she can collaborate with anybody. i think people think that they have an idea of art has them, but that's the fun thing about being an artist who 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 so sorry. 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 of recitation blending as like an inspired

rhythms. the cuban inspired sounds with her velvety soul vocals and thought provoking merriks on things of life and love the girl. i'm always in the kind of person when people are going right. and, you know, i don't even go less. i go up, you know, i like to just explore. so my hair is evolved. people remember me with the proof of phrase that was in the 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 musicians like falling to imagine as remarkable voices within it. showcasing her blossoming tavin such a mixture of different sounds, such a red talon. when one thinks about skateboarding they think about the 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 my ruby or female skate 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 tenant has the had to overcome in a male dominated sport? that's good. and i wrote before me is a safe space where i can just come in and skate. this is where the women coming to gets empowered to get to be represented. anybody can come in and be represented. it's a really cool space ghost getting it roll the girls capes know. ruby was founded by antoinette and lima. it's not just you typical ladies. hand out. they are real close 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, who's get bored in a row be so it came about scores. we the 1st when i started skating, which is next 2 years ago, i came and i didn't find a list of people who are female skate of the relief. male skate of. so i came down with antoinette and 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 an instagram page then. oh, it's up to and now we are here. we have like i should do right now we have a go skips team that is ongoing right now. we are here right now. it'd be fuck how we saw me escape rehab, or should you know, skating legs together?

we skates 2 times in a week where we come to this case, but if we come to showing the lift gate truck, we go to the mall. and we also do streetscape books. since starting out, an average of 50 girls have lunch to skate through the club. but for most of the groups says as a support system as well gosh, gets made. ruby has been a good support system for me as a piece for that. um, having sketch boarded for a while, it has always been some hard discouraging, going to a buck and not seeing someone who is like you. so being in the space has really been inspiring for me as an excuse for that. i really appreciate does kitchen i, roby for the english, and i really am with mentally i was you mentally like i couldn't even socialize with people, but at the moment since i started, i found a place to express myself. yes. the way um and i improve socially and that seems so short and they have to and so a 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 sport investigating, there will be a is a, has a big but 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 feel free the community of females, people just haven't counted numerous challenges with limited resources, posing a significant total to every kick flips the attempt. we actually put a lot of challenges because that's the one we have females. we have drugs and being a good already. you're already a target to being discriminated. i know the challenges you face is getting and they will be hard. so you can get to learn as a grad plus the wiley district. it's,

it's just things are, the group was formed to act as a creative outlet and just pace for self expression. it's called the attention of many and fuse this all over the globe, including americans, kate, vada. tony will be posted by tony hook. no, it's so great for me and it made me realize it was even more less of me during the clip loving it. it was the sense of community that was shown to that video of how people escape would think when we need to support each other. the female streets is also gather here at the more popular rooftop serving as a training ground with very fine best skills. so we're here at the mall. it's our rooftop. this is well, it's a cause munition of the creative minds. this is where a skateboarding art music, this is where all of that me it's, it's a space for us to express how it feels in different ways. music,

skateboarding via megs, 5 sean, and all that. want to bring up a team of go to kind of shred of how to got a voice. so that's the kind of problem. well go to joins good 40 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 to sisterhood, as they call their own path in a male dominated support. these women are re writing the rules and inspiring others to do the same. in the constitution hill, the home of cnn, the festival, we hope that you enjoy the so as much as needed to make sure that you take a spouse on d, w dot com, forward slash feedback until next time its bye for now the,
