it's her work on the inner lives of women, the what do you want the audience to see when they see your face and how do you want the audience to interact with me? when i look at my work, i don't see myself on to anybody. you would also see yourself in my painting. i mean, and when you do, you have moment on the name is not what your mind refers to by category. so i want everyone to see themselves with the hair on my work. i don't know kind of the go and your paintings. i've noticed, especially when you're painting women, their faces are either blurred or cropped. why do you choose to do that? for 3 is that when i do a portrait and it is the face or the hand that i paint, i only focus on the part that i want to do. i don't, as in photographs, i'm going to worry about getting them. i write most of the picture for portion and all that a who are the swimming every romance i for example, thinks,

but if i do apologize, i don't talk to you in a little way. i love what you said about you emphasize on a certain aspect of the portraits that you paint that would be an honor to be discussed right. the cam leaving me curious. i want to see what you did at different mom wouldn't be able to see it from the what was happening. wow. it's me, but it's not me that you did i read this is so cool. can i keep it? yeah,

let me sign the sign up for the we leave behind. so let me let top and head west across at the and now i'm going to be showing you a woman that has been claiming her space and the sculpting world. i'd be ski down on by. let's take a look at these kito number is a sculptor who creates gold cards. pieces that mirror the organic shapes found in nature, frozen water, rocks and skeletal structures are all captured and her work. oh wow. what are we looking at this looks very interesting. been working on the concept movement and emotion, how to do a lot of drawings. because i have to understand how i'm going to put the pieces together. how i do the layers because i work with layers to see it in different to

perspective, which way i should go cortisone kind of vertical. so to determine that, i just have to do a few sketches and see how i'm going to put the things together. i'm very curious to see how this translates into the piece and will show you how the process works. so this is a very interesting project that i'm doing right now, incorporating and nature with manufactured would so very organic or any kind of catch to my, my attention. so it was like one big piece. so i have to cut it in pieces and then carve it a little bit and clean it up. the interesting part is you can see it's a, you know, mind made word or manufacturer of wood merged with the, with the naturally what. so once it's finished, it's going to take a different position, which is like that and then or the,

or the slayers are going to be, you know, stuck together. and then i'll just start carving it. what about this piece over here? so this is not like you see one piece, it's all layered and carved and put together. wow. yeah, that is incredible because, you know, when you see your pieces, what's the most striking thing about it is it looks like it's frozen in the motion and it's like a water being poured but frozen. yeah. something's happening, but it's kind of you know, to place your thoughts. yeah. so another thing i wanted to ask you was the, the shadows the dimension. how did that? yeah, i usually torch. it's with the torch. i kind of like it. it's almost like painting on, on a sculpture and then do the shooting in the, the, giving it another shape, giving it that's dark and light reflection on it gives it's another shape and i

like kind of continued with the torch. what kind of emotions are you trying to express? it's kind of showing the, the freedom of women, kind of forces you to go around it all the shapes and the darkness and the lightness and stuff. so, and i like it, you know how it has different color on it. i want something physically to try to intervene. and not only physically i have to think how to put this thing together, the balance. and so that change kinds of gives me really good satisfaction. do you see down on, by the embodiments of a strong artist claiming her unique place as one of the few female would carvers to any deal by the,

in the cells. if i do stop by our dw artsy africa journey takes us to another scope during this time we're visiting the met demo most crate of speech. all of the outdoor sculptures on display or the work of this phone couple. she is a member of the montgomery mice creative, collect the test phone bends and welts, sheets of metal, and found materials to create his music features the how do you decide what to make? is it you find you decide. i'm going to make this and you choose the material, or is it the other way around them? often i'm open minded and start doing provides the day and provide addition. and i start from something and tactful. guide me just so that you said the number thing i

gotta younger go to the better, but the dummy and as a develops i'm literally my mind also tends to mature. yeah. bigger coffee and isn't done with the value but from the time. so i know this piece the most, it's my favorite and i'm very familiar with it. i just want to know about the technique that you use when building or pieces are recycling market in med tech, i'm no, i usually recycled materials. the thing goes around and when i started using this to you in the 2nd round, i thinking i'm moving to create the desired signal model to move, undergoing critical, belmont. that's the come on. your sculptors are part of an environment. they're pretty big. how do you feel about them changing over time because of the weather? i go to name or i work with still because it can withstand the, with the insurance based on the sickness or the fitness of the dispute. but also

the thing still is highly likely to be damaged. no human but not with the sick. one, even with the rest itself is strong enough for me to go through it. awesome, that is one of the reason the closer item does on the heavy explorer test phones. alchemy with metal we leave to meet a very different kind of crater. we tell him on tennis is a game thinking design or an architect. she is using game thinking to find innovative ways to tackle this type of us social challenges. game thinking is actually basically the arts and science. so vaccine gauging people to go onto like this pass of development of skill and mastery and so on, right? so they can imagine using games as tools, right? and basically you can just go on into so many different sectors and basically apply them. 33 percent of people and these are under the age of $29.00. this makes young

people important players and solving our social challenges of unemployment and an adequate infrastructure. they are around 58000000 mobile phone users. so i have this app over here and i know you worked on it or walk me through it. but it's in the game is it creates, are of interest comes this presents an opportunity for large scale cross country collaborations on the african continent when it comes to imagining better cities for those who live in the imagine 15 countries to 100 plus people that offer cars coming together to re think about the future of their cities. right. and thinking about the future is so important right now. and this project was aiming at not game designers specifically, but like citizens of different african cities. so that they could actually

contribution to what they think the future of cities could look like. and that comes from a special background, special life that they've led in vegas to become the people who to make decisions. who have a say and what actually happens in the bigger scale of city. so it's like using games as a mode of communication. basically, instead of just talking, it allows you to interact into an experience by immersing into that experience. you get to know what's personally going through them. that's basically a huge story that keeps on going onto the future. that's crazy. i love it. leaving technology behind. we enter a more analog world. now i am delighted to introduce you to type this of my sent one of my countries most acclaimed painters. let's go. good morning. good morning. good morning. good morning. such ordinary such a privilege to be with you today. i'm very happy to meet you at the semester,

and this is find our training at the st. petersburg arts academy in russia. there he was taught the style of soviet social realism returning. so i decided that i had this a captured key events and he took in history that work over there looks very different from everything we see here what you're telling me about it. okay, the story behind this painting is that it is the time that you turn those invaded to your trip in the 2nd italian occupation if you took place from 1935 to 1941, the sparked international outrage and that you'll get becoming a symbol of anti colonialism and resistance against european imperialism. and then what they wanted to show in this painting is that the people and the

landscape might need to be on is the roof or plastic. i does more mount tennessee, you know, it's very difficult to convey the trip. so i wanted to show that the people and the pending has kept their independence together. why do i want to show this? as you seem to the center, it is black. again, this is a white background i wanted to show seemed bought off off because simple black freedom, you know, and then there is a light coming from the, from the right side, or it is hope and freedom and something good is coming out of the sacrifice. so these painting is my, i've tried the, my private, the condition such as the started of my facing the in recent times, had this a, has shifted his focus from historic subject matter to cafeteria in contemporary ethiopian life. and, and leaving his teaching position as the professor at the prestigious ali school of art and design had this is now introducing for an art lovers to his work.

and i hear you have a show coming up. you know, my subject matter. i'm, i'm doing paintings on women and women and who are, who are sitting groups in market areas in the street. they are my heroes and writers fix them. they're really very serious that had workers. so i just want to make homage for this. women had this, the, grew up near the busy, more casual market and, and street market seems have stayed with them. but the idea is, you know, the market is, this is a place where you have all over all kinds of colors, all kinds of people. i mean much things, everything is coming together. so this is really a very fascinating things, especially of your current market through different markets. ok. and then you come to my my current works. what i'm doing for the exemption might be things our model

is based on the to do it was a, you know, i'm going to leave the background of the tradition of the japan. and i went to the present time because we are under the quicker, you know, we have especially on the face time mix. just har. shuttle's under line. yes. my interest is always being the figurative painting of the not just you have to be offered. there is no limits, there's only limited by to be just got the i least have disa appreciating how after a career that has spend more than 4 decades, he continues to push limits and how he portrays. if you're in society today, best of luck. all right, have a nice day, bye bye bye. the

. as a photographer, i'm drawn to the energy of my city. i think is always near you turn around one corner. there's something happening and it catches your eyes. this kind of, of things is dominated by construction cranes, as people flock from the ruler areas to find work. during the scramble for africa, gilba was one of the only to african countries to retain its independence. its political history is complex and multifaceted, marked by periods of monarchy, ministry dictatorship and are painful. legacy also includes genocide, the semen and civil war. and recent times, we're trying to shield this true democracy. i want to play my part in creating a new id. and for me, that is about telling stories of my city. so you're here at my

studio and as you can see here from them i print are hanging the, these are some shots from the busiest marketplace and i d, it's called in the cato. it's really hectic. it's really hard to take pictures, but that's one of my favorite places to shoot and i love learning about full stories. one of my favorite projects is this phone message that we worked on this project for about 3 years with my colleague phillip sheets and one day, lots of it with the vintage type of project. my colleagues and i crowd source photographs from ordinary people who had great stories to tell from living memory. these were personal stories of hope, resilience, laughter, pride and curiosity. and no expense such an honor working on it because i got to learn

a lot of stories of people that lived in the era that was considered dark in history. because all we knew it was, people were fleeing the country and dying of hunger and genocide was happening. but through this book, i got to learn the history of my people who were enjoying life, going to cinema, of getting married, having children falling in love, all these beautiful things. and it was such an honor to be a part of it because i felt like i did something to my community. we all felt like we did something to give back the heading south, or dw archie, africa experience now takes us to an unusual collection affordable a visiting the gallery space, a photographer, my dad had left and lastly, she has more than a decade of experience as a documentary photographer, and she has mentored me on my own photography, the journey. what i'm trying to do is find

a different form of visual language to express a person. you know how the visual rhetoric presentation of africa and african people have always been so sweetly simplistic for traits. so i wanted to go a little bit further and to diverse. i need to be deformed. dr. marie sure name, find any medium of painting. a person's identity in the tradition of ethnographic photography. any ciocca in africa as a whole portrait photographs would usually depict people and the simplistic minor facing forward posing formerly for the camera. and creating her body of work called the walls monitor would knock on the door, some ordinary people and asked to enter their homes. the photograph there was in this way, these domestic interiors have come to represent people's identities. the one thing that's very common is i find 4 traits south are hanging on the woods. so

it's not freely for $3.00 to $4.00 person, but the itself with overall photograph was in a different sweeping. i would like some to understand that this is a very complex person is, this is a very complex country. it's not very simple. i loved when you talked about how as africans were photographic portraits, are the permanent images that we see and foot photographing in the spaces. that's why i looked up to you because you have a different take different perspective. the monitors, photography of journeys have also taken her into a world's mountainous region that lies essentially feel bad and is filled with ancient culture. she looked at the engravings of old colonial travelers and then visited the same places to day and superimposed her contemporary photos over the

engraving. in this way, mother has created a visual connection across the time. yeah, so this is part of football, geo for a typo between your starting tomorrow for show all was and i've pointed to calling the corner because same term is a 19 same trade show was the seat of m for a minute. look, the 2nd 2 is a national hero for preventing its elise 1st attempt at concrete, in ethiopia, in 1896. you'll see his rugged mountain history gave his army an advantage. landscapes have always been a very important aspect, sophie to appear on his 3 pictures. so for me was really interesting. tell me about what you're working on. so i'm photography is a c t, so i was born in on the suburbs and how it's changing the process of change. great . so let's go ahead and take some pictures. and

the look that was the taking photos with monitor out on the streets. i'm aware of how we as modern women of these have a new liberty to express ourselves using photography and the way that previous generations of women and our families did not. as we speak with the digital voice claiming our freedom nice the i thought it would be fun to bring you to send to got a much a door jazz club and it also happens to be where am i photography? collectively, the, i am a member of the group called the center for photography. and if you get

the each week, we need to look at each other's pictures. this collaborative spirit sums up the creative scene and not be settled, but today with every work of art and every photograph. we each get to tell a new story about our country. this freedom is valuable to us and while our conversation is continuing to the night, the people of this party, the what's a wonderful journey. and i hope you enjoy dw artsy africa bringing you talented artists that are shaping the creative narratives of africa. the
