a group of girls are read the funding, skateboarding as an empowering tool for this, and the maids. my name is the and you are watching our 3 megs, the a total in both in the 1975. plenty talent is the tool in this apartment block. an advocate is to get this building used to be a vegetable and slung. it has been revitalized by the motels and have the tracks of global recognition, as is also painted in many hollywood movies. have you ever heard of africa's toilet residential building? this is the point to tell was situated in johannesburg, south africa. the infamous speak show expense to right next to hill bro was once asked because 1st vertical urban,

the skyscraper has made several appearances in some hollywood films such as resident evil and check the extent that the pope lifted 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 group 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 africans to institute johannes boat captains from the infamous towers into america, with thousands of visitors from all over the world. 24 year old gun mobile currently leads to projects showing the history of this housing 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 an opportunity to actually bring people here on tours. plunger,

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 a safety. lo, so that i went through and now i'm able to do this towards and also give that to the community architect. rodney 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 most beautiful thing i've ever seen. oh boy is adamant at lunch. it creates genuine opportunities with kinda freaking you in the country with drawings and a phobia, and not just promoting poverty porn. i grew up here and for the fall guide 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 village, it has welcome over 25000 visitors since 2012 and has high hopes for the future. a so great to see that it was the 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 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 do you need 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 the so we do understand the disagree for the significance of this, i visited the visits of potato wrapping 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 like when i was young, i used to spend time with a lot of or with a lot of old people now old. so that's the general who is 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 increase of it to you when you look at like that was very so fish, how god put it. this thing i was basically because i want to just watch people that i like even 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 you can, i guess 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, 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 some will include that code. so will, it will, could cool, has to, 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 opt of it's for us than himself. i chose one says 12 with the aggressive 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 think, speaks for them and worked for my past and what i've been through some of was born and raised as to home and parent evans, how in the eastern region of gun that work in the field here comes often before school would i would quote you as the made, it cannot make a cvt, 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 school. so i started with all the forms of at least i resorted to photography because it was easy. i could edit on my

iphone and maybe publish it. tell my story with its concept 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 because of my little brenda with this. so they were asking questions that why don't you go the convention? i'll we, while you sit in this, we meet that when the set, the seeing the results that kind of attends inductive way given me this, that they've done this funding from humble beginning. how does some more transition from using mobile phones? so becoming a professional, who's westwood exhibited internationally such as in new york? i just got the buy 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 mentos with metro. the style is leading 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 with klein. so just latasha above which we brand shoots album covers awesome. right. thank you for anything from what i've been through in the past. and what's 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, kyrie includes in 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 pod form is what's their weights and stories rooted in real life struggles. some also aimed 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 able to create great photos and his though and the unique and this of this image is mind blowing working for some world in the beginning, i think it's as it may help from the institution that i've been getting for him, and the images that gave me producing now i want to take more than zeroes 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, the, you know,

who was brought in notes because the images i went places that they have no, uh, people with this or this legs 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 uh the invoice that 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 give. and i just want to show people the uniqueness of the tasking. so most of which will continue to inspire generations yet to come that with limited resources, one can achieve their dreams. now

that you've had to look behind the clips and then let's find out what music levels and some of the performance yet today. i'm looking forward to the nice oh you're really looking forward to talking to me. yeah, yeah, maybe they. 7 obviously the graveyard reading the days they spend 3 me and the scorpion king. i'm a piano that switch them over the world. so i'm definitely looking forward to that . yeah. so how about them taking 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 line up. which words, magnificent exception on the. i think explicitly curious as well. file via that's it. it's a box. 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 who knew this is freedom of victoria for long as the canada seals that has that help away from nigeria most he's going one step further than the boys. as you do this, the sound, the soul for beads and make sonic music to create her electric style music type of various topics such as those of identity i'm telling is and you also get things social justice. and so that seems highly praised fluids, certainly thing performances under exceptional vigils. go on a surprise. the i love is a you could call her a blood sugar because it's not just musical. you 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 there. um i think one of the most interesting things about traveling and coming back to nigeria is seeing the different ways that the engine culture has influence culture around the world. so like i live in cuba and i'm, they're seeing in the peers form a gearbox story. you 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 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 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 the power and weights and i always knew that singing 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 keys, for example. um, so for example, i remember when and song has happened. it was a very the emotional moments in our history and i just felt so overwhelmed with emotion. so one of the 1st thing here,

the i have lived in muslim pharma d 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 to explore it sounds into her music by musicians. she's sites as a primary influences such as for luck with the minister mon, 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 maya when it comes to collaboration as a keeps saying her name like caea. she can collaborate with anybody. i think people

think that they have an idea of aren't as them, but as the fun thing about being an artist 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 how hold themselves on. 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 diverse taste blending aspect and inspired rhythms to cuban inspired sounds, with her velvety soul vocals and thought provoking lyrics. some things of life and

love 9 girls. oh go. i've always been the kind of person when people are going, right. 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 raise that was and look, 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 tavin. such a mixture of different sounds. such a rid tyler, and 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,

rubies or females case club, but it's so much more than just learning to skate. how does this group health impact young goes 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, the space where women come in, they gets empowered to get to be represented. anybody can come in and be presented . it's a really cool space ghost getting it, rosie girls gates. and i, ruby was founded by antoinette and lima. it's not just you typical ladies hand out . they are a close knit community, the advocates for the inclusion of women in skateboarding and even got the tensioners international statewood 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 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 to relieve male skate of. so i came down group antoinette 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, do right now we have go skips team. that is ongoing right now. we are here right now at the fuck how we saw me escape rehab, changing those skating legs together. we escaped 2 times in a week where we come to the escape, but we come to showing the landscape,

spoke we go to the mall and we also do streetscape folks. since starting out an average of 50 girls have lunch to skate through the club. but for most of the group says, as a support system as well. gosh, good nato be has been a good support system for me as a skateboarder. i'm having sketch boarded for a while. it has little is being some hard, discouraging queen to a fucking not seeing someone who's like you. so being in the space has really been inspiring for me as a and gets pulled up. i really appreciate does kitchen i. roby was emotionally, when, 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 my test. yes, the way um. and they improve socially a as a, a t so short as they had 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'll be a is a, has a big part in raising awareness of social justice like social equality, input to law group. we have a lady who produces funds and we were able to go in the vote funds to go so 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 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 will be hard. so you can get to learn as a grad plus the 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 caught the attention of many enthusiasm all over the globe, including american skateboarder. tony will be posted by tony hook, know is so great for me and it's made me realize it was even more less of me during the q clip loving it. it was the sense of community that was shown to that video of how people skipped would think when we need to support each other. the female skates 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. it says, well, it's called 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 full asterix as how it feels in different ways. music, skateboarding via mex, 5, sean, and all that. want to bring up
