hi, i'm surprised. hi, i was shoving and i'm ready to dive into the hands of children. to us. you have you have a window port. we've got a spot on the on expected side, so side the hello and welcome. my name is not, let's go to you. i'm a photographer, and we are here and i'd be talking about the capital city. if you feel the idea of about it's called the political capital of africa because it is home to the african union. it is a modern city with bustling street and originate life.

the type of i mean new flowers and here we have the beautiful volume and kind of in church. cupid orthodox church is one of the oldest christian bodies in the world. and it has influenced the visual culture of the as a photographer, my friends, and i are the new generation of artist. we're embracing technology while still paying homage to the more traditional artists who have gone before the. now i'm going to show you some of the talented artist here in id that's come. coming up in this episode of dw archie, africa, and we need paints or send me more like how cool is vividly capturing 7 and experience the or 3 tell him on tennis

introduces us to the dynamic interactive world of games, maybe 2 weeks for an exciting sculpture garden with test phone, cut off and golf there, i do see that on by shows us how she unlocks the magic of what we see the streets of a deep cafeteria to the left of my dead highly example and legendary paved or cut the semester and shows us his latest work inspired by the women in the markets of i d 's. so i just tried to mix some details. here to our dw archie africa journey begins in east bed to stop by we visit this to do of pates or selling me more or less. and if you'll get only one 3rd of women are

employed homes or female spaces. instead of the top focus is her work on the inner lives of women, the what do you want the audience to see when they say replacing? how do you want the audience to interact with this? and when i look at my word, i see myself on to you. and if you would also see yourself in my painting, i mean, and when you do moment that you have moment telling me is not what your mind refers to. fuck how to go. so i want everyone to see themselves with the here on my working on 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? 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, don't worry about getting the i right for me. so let's take some portions and all

that for the swim in every room inside, for example. 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 aspects 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 there. was wow, it's me, but it's not me that you did i read this is so cool. can i keep it?

yes. maybe sign that assignment for the we leave behind so low. mean will that top and head west across at the and now i'm going to be showing you a woman that has been cleaning her space. and the sculpting world displayed on by let's take a look at this kid on by the sculptor who creates gold card pieces that mirrors 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 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 you can different to perspective which way i should go quarter. so color 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 indicate the 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, 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 only always the slayers are going to be, you know, stuck together. and then i'll 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. something's happening, but it's kind of you know, to place your cost. yeah. so another thing i wanted to ask you was that the shadows the dimension. how did that? yeah, i usually torch it with the torch. i kind of like it's, it's almost like painting on, on a sculpture and then do the shooting and 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 down on by 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 archie, africa journey takes us to another stop. 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 of she is a member of the montgomery mice crate is 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 and start improvising of the day and provide addition in with

the come. i start from something and tactful. guide me your so that you said no methane, i gotta younger go to bed up. but the dummy and as it develops, i'm literally, my mind also tends to mature. you had bigger coffee and didn't on the top your 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 use recycled materials, go, the thing goes around. and when i started using this to you in the 2nd round to swing by picking, i'm moving to create the desired signal might have to move undergoing cuz it's about month 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 i your name or i work with still because it can withstand the,

with the insurance based on the sickness or the fitness of the state. but also the thing still is highly likely to be damaged. no human but not with the sequence. even with the rest itself is strong enough for me to go through it. awesome. that is one of the, the reason the closer and does on a heavy explorer test phones. alchemy with metal we leave to meet a very different kind of creator. 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 like imagine using games as tools, writings 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. as a creator 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 are living . imagine 15 countries to 100 plus people that 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 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 less. and that comes from a special background, special life that they've led. and they get 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 the 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 in a sense one of my country's 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'd be stopped by had this a captured key events. and if you open history that work over there looks very different from everything we see here what you're telling me about it. ok to the story behind this painting is that it is the time that the italians invaded you and your trip in the 2nd italian occupation of utopia 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 in egypt beyond 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 pairing 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 sacrifice. so these painting is my, i've tried the, my previous condition such as the story 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 levers 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 fixed and they're really very serious that had workers. so i just want to make homage for this. women had this a, grew up near the busy mercado market and i and street market seems have stayed with him. 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 off the current market through different markets. ok. and then you come

to my my current works, what i'm doing for the exemption. my being things are 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 son because we are under the equator. you know, we have especially on the face time mc, just har, shuttles on the line. yes. my interest is always being the figurative painting. i've done 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. 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 eye. 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 our 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 comes on my prints 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 those things

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, or dw archie, africa experience now takes us to an unusual collection of photographs. we're 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 rhetoric presentation 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 be phones out tomorrow. 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 hung along 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. the monitors photography, journeys have also taken her into a rural mountainous region. that nice is 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 as to date 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 pie toes between your starting tomorrow for show all was and i 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 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 t 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 to talk to collect 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 expense. i hope you enjoyed dw artsy africa bringing you talented artists that are shaping the creative narratives of africa. the
