a rich night life. the type of i mean new flowers. and here we have the beautiful volume at hand of the church. if you can, orthodox church is one of the oldest christian bodies in the world. and it has influenced the visual culture of the photographer, my friends, and i are the new generation of artist. weird and bracing technology while still paying on march to the more traditional artists who have gone before the now i'm going to show you some of the talented artist here and i d, that's come coming up in this episode of the w r t. i forgot. we need paints are slow, mean more like how cool is vividly capturing 7 and experience the present time until it introduces us to the dynamic interactive world of the game,

to the old beach weeks for an exciting sculpture garden, which has the phone cut out as golf there i do see that on by shows us how she unlocks the magic of what we see the streets of id cafeteria to the left of my dead highland and legendary paved or cut the semester and shows us his latest work inspired by the women in the markets of id, so i just tried to make some details 0. the overdue w r t. africa journey begins in east bed to stop by we visit this to do a paid for. so let me, let me give you only one 3rd of women are employed homes or female spaces instead of

a more laptop because it's her work on the inner lives of women. the what do you want the audience to see when they see your case and how do you want the audience to interact with me? when i look at my work, i see myself on see any of these things. 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 to so 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 of women, i worry about getting the i right for 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 catch you in the 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 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? yes. please sign the sign. the 1st

the we leave behind, so mean will that top and head west across id the and now i'm going to be showing you a woman that has been claiming her space and this competing world displayed on by. let's take a look at this be done on by the sculptor who creates gold card pieces that mirror the organic shapes found in nature. frozen water rugs 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 in motion 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,

to see it in different to perspectives. which way i should go cortisone kind are 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 would 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 we always as layers 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 or 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 motion and it's like a water being poured, but frozen. something's happening, but it's kind of, you know, to place your thoughts. yeah. so another thing i wanted to ask you was that the shadow is the dimension. how does that? yeah, i usually torture it 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 freedom of women, kind of forces you to go around it all the with 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. ready ready by embodiments of a strong artist claiming her unique place as one of the few female woodcarver, 72, by the

in the cells. if i'd be stopped by our dw archie, africa journey takes us to another stop. during this time, we're visiting the my demo. most crates of speed all of the outdoor sculptures on display are the work of this phone. she is a member of the montgomery must create this, collect the test phone bends and welts sheets of metal and found materials to create his music teacher 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 at the start, improvise the of the day and provide addition and i start from something and tactful. guide your so that you said the number thing i gotta younger go to the

better demo and as a develops, i'm literally my mind also tends to mature. you had bigger coffee. i learned different on the top your but from nissan. 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 and let them know i use recycled materials. voting thing goes around. and when i started using this, do you in the 2nd round by picking, moving to create the desired signal might have to move, undergoing good at the moment. 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, the are you go to name or i work with steel because it can withstand the, with the insurance based on the sickness or the fitness of the dispute. but also

the defense deal is highly likely to be damaged. no human but not with the sequence . even with the rest itself is strong enough for me. does it go through it? awesome, that is one of the the reason the closer and does on having explored test phones, alchemy with metal. we leave to meet a very different kind of crater lee, montana is a game thinking, designer and 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 in science. so vaccine gazing, people to go onto like this, pass of development of skill and mastery and so on, right? so like imagine using games as tools ratings. basically, you can just go on into so many different sectors and basically apply them 32 percent of people and these are under the age of 29. this makes young people

important players and solving our social challenges of unemployment and inadequate infrastructure there 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 is, it creates, are of interest this, i present that opportunity for large scale cross country collaborations on the african continent when it comes to imagining better cities for those who live in imagine 15 countries to 100 plus people and ask for 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 is, 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. a lot 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 cities. 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 threw up in history that work over there looks very different from everything we see here. would you tell me about it more. okay. the story behind this painting is that it is the time that you turn those invaded to your trip. in the 2nd, the tale and occupation every ciocca 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 viney tape in is the whole phosphate is more mountainous. you know, it's very difficult to embed it. 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 a halt and freedom and something good is coming out of the sacrifice. so this main thing is my actually my private coordination such as the starting of my facing the in recent times had this a has shifted his focus from historic subject matter to cafeteria and 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 are really very serious that had workers. so i just want to make homage for this. women had this a go up near the busy mercado market and, and street market seems to 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 knew much things, everything is coming together. so this is really a very fascinating things, especially of the 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 lift the background of the tradition of the japan us and i went to the present sun because we are under the quicker you know we have especially on the face time mix, just har shuttles on the line. yes. my interest is always be figurative painting either not just you have to be offered. there is no limits. there's only limited by to be just got the i leave to desa 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 ideas 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. mark by periods of monarchy, ministry dictatorship and are painful. legacy also includes genocide, famine 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, come to my print are hanging the, these are some shots from the busiest marketplace and i d, it's called in that 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 book. we worked on this project for about 3 years with my colleague phillip sheets and one day, lots of it with the vintage at the top of the 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 and 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, 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. our dw archie africa experience now takes us to an unusual collection of photographs for visiting the gallery space, a photographer my dad had listened last week. she has more than a decade of experience as a documentary photographer, and she has mentored me on my own photographer during the walk. i'm trying to do is

find a different form of visual language to express a person. you know how the visual representation of africa and african people have always been so sweetly simplistic for traits. so i wanted to go a little bit further in to diversity to beat the phones out to 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 to 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 for traits south are hanging on the road. 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 in 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. ready monitors, photography, journeys have also taken her into a rural mountainous region that nice essentially field. and it's filled with ancient culture. she looked at the engravings of old colonial travelers. and the, just at the same place is to day and superimpose for contemporary photos over the

engraving in this way. murder has created a visual connection across time. yeah, so this is part to a footboard you for a typo between your starting tomorrow. for show i was not for that you calling the corner because same term is a 19 same trade show was the seat of him for a minute. look, the 2nd 2 is a national hero for preventing denise 1st attempt at concrete, ethiopia, in 1896. you'll see his rugged mountain history gave his army an advantage. landscapes, house owners being 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 is changing the process of change? great, so let's go ahead and take some pictures of the

look that way. 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 meet 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 photographs. 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. i hope you enjoyed dw artsy africa bringing you talented artists that are shaping the creative narratives of africa. the
