mega, the population of roughly 50000000 people, which makes it the biggest city in africa. nigeria broke free from british colonial when we gain independence in 1960 on today. lagos is a box sitting this pros across for into connected. i'm in the, from the humble floating fishing community of michael cole. ultima. okay. sorry about the hold to 6000 miller news. us $1.10 and after dock, we knew how to have a good time the

or over the years i've documented my city to our culture of production. today. i'm very excited to present us history. amazing was in the city of lagos, coming up in this episode of dw oxy africa, we may tie it though, wakes laws have an identity to a complex multi media works. we spend time would kind of deal so high. it was a reach paintings that created across texted metal surfaces speak to a come in or shows us as i called a graphic works in supply advice or bringing in a new state the photographer, are you by you? who creates woven photographs be so like, oh my lady takes us into the fascinating world of knowledge and performance office . julie presents is holland. you knew what

the 1st stop is the walking class area of nikki, pending to the boss, niger and women ahead is very complex. it is political, it is cultural. it also has historical elements. hi, it is an office when braces on the, you know, work the hey, sorry. i think i was, i was getting ready to start on the collage. the and ty is visual language consists of depicting

strands of human hair into woman. would carl think, why did you decide to approach your work? you know, from this perspective, it was really because of my own hair, is all my 1st so exhibition. have hulu. so, and it was about kind of seeking out my put so now grandmother, but using has the starting point to go. she's on known to my family and then left with this quailey's own head that is unique to me. ties. it is different from many of the nigerian women as a child tie was often told that she must have inherited i have from my grandmother . the older tie has pictures of all the family members. she

knows nothing about her father's mother. and it was about kind of staking out my put so now grandmother you know who i she was she from and obviously because of my head, she was glad that she was in from the african coincidence. you know, so my head became the starting point for the journey or, you know, finding this woman so it was kind of remedied on the left. so this woman that's on known to a family type who up in building city in to see how she was influenced by local culture. the leg queen mother was referred as who was assigned the alba is the king tide drawers upon the traditional carl beads are beginning culture and combines this with human hair to create this intricate artworks

these are still very rarely bounces today. so the images that i use, by example of being a brides because they kind of copy, you know, this, them, i don't meant um that is one by the king. so i'm gonna show you the process of how the i do the layering so much. i'll show you my cloud draw where all my class stuff. ok. so there's some beads that i just cut out and then you see the hair. so this so, so the image is i'm gonna cut the amount due on a caught something i was not sure that i want to try my hand to the side of things for man i've always been in doug's lights where we're constantly doing stuff in the back which is why, for me is very important so that i can tell women stories because there is a lot that women doing and they make the little contribution to, to the sizes. and usually the image that we get of women not always in this

sense of model. so do you see what's, you know? nobody reads ok, bye. the important itself. we don't necessarily have to like be in the forefront. but i think is important. and the people at least aware of for, to a doing behind you. yes, absolutely. yeah. so this is in a way, an acknowledgement of women's role and also importance as yeah, power and power. yes. my time retired as me, reflecting on how it works might be so many i'm they, it, but they carry their own quiet power of women stories in what is often a male dominated to get started by from ties place. we travel east across the famous lucky bridge i, we had for the oldest softball or weekly. this is where we find the angels and music folks and the board it is an awesome to beta space i just was

founded by the artist speak to you come in on the lifetime dell laptop is also using the to create is out what the deal is reading to preaching and disrupting symbols from childhood. dropping catholic went to catholic schools and everything on the some of the terms of what shape or belief system that i had side by side with dr mission, i'm growing up in the village. it's something that i've been finding it out with all my life. but if you take a try this on a, i forgot to opt out of where it belongs. does we have a different many way to use it for something that is the last time. so it does that,

the 2 things that i'm kind of like working with when i started using these are pieces and we look at them, what i'm seeing now that he's a king domains, the king, the way he will not address the . so what's in the eyes and the other off my walk is that the presence of can over i free because is what ties already walks together. that is it, come on right now, you're going to see and all the world can see it here in this one here. then, you know, said india here, it wouldn't be lines because of growing up these. we had things that were on the was of the village. daniel's ideas created my own visual language with that big to is drawn on the rich legacy of traditional niger and i kind of gras fee to create its own contemporary interpretations of this patterns.

the toys also an avid collector of the name bronzes. the beginning process, i'll go to several 1000 metroplex and cultures that used to decorate the royal palace in the kingdom of the name in what is today known as a those states nigeria in 1897 british troops remove them from beginning to date. the largest collections are to be found in britain, germany, and america. the risk due to being processed very tell him to the king of the name by decree in 2023, where they will be the state as long had been decided. and i think that we as humans and to be making them as a living try to try a living culture,

would continue authority event. it says at every given time in history, one of africa's biggest culture of objects, there's a museum of west african aust. more currently under construction in the name city, which 70 percent of nigerians. on the 3rd, this museum will be a cultural center with a full cost on contemporary ok to inspire the next generations victim exhibits internationally. anyhow, studios in the united states of america and lagos, you also have mentos emerging autism. i'm the photographer, i you by me. we is one of these prodigies you work with best buy. so we have to be careful here. yeah. i, a by me, is recently started creating a large scale. what the you have been busy.

i've been trying to like work on more personal stories. okay. like you advised me speak involves the into we think of the photographs. this is my room and i've been for the night actually. right. this is great. i love it or love it. thank you. it's almost like a hide and seek kind of fly. we've been on our yeah. you kind of like you see me, you don't see me and you don't see me a while bach. i was in the schools kindergarten and these kids were weaving colored people. right. and i just have that through then i was really frustrated with the process that came to able to come up with. and i was like, oh and then somebody just told me like, oh, what if you give one of your, your photographs people choose fabric, us the go to months, you'll be able to identify with each other. if you're very familiar with the design

of tools. because by such a business, by the end, it's like at no cost, right? and then we have this situation where people choose the sprint vibrate and then the, the costs of the outside from. it's just the identify with each other. so it could be differentiated if it could be tribal, just to have about sense of identity with each other. but more recently of, of been like pull myself more into my work. and so i went back home to my parents house where i was raised listen my data, my mom is talking about this business emptiness. they had raised all of their kids and everybody is not out of the house. so i photographed the baby in front of the family car and in front of the house and the space you could see them that keeping the house and in sales. what else do funding besides each other?

so i'd be sense of the relationship. taxes would be who they are, the $200.00 was an oven. you for them to come together and have a conversation and be friends. they also do know tony don't. so that is more displeases, it's all about the we are you by me and journey to the suburb of new england to meet one of my jewish farmers, contemporary artist kind of deals, ties, analysis that i've worked with in the past. and i find his work rather intriguing. i there, i need to do more to, he's been very busy. oh wow. i see a little stickers see new. what does the human body mean t o,

in my walk i have synchronized the sugars shown on our structure. them together, so the body for me, that's where all the human falls lives so that you can wear their body to the he my story. as a graphic, artist and painter kindly. these are the focuses on human subjects and the experiences of oppression. an example of this will be the events that took place in the town to 14 in the delta region. 14 is rich with all white is also pool and polluted. the delta region lives in south of nigeria. in november 1991 under the sheep of president or passenger, the nigeria, i'm going to take action against protest as in delta regions. and we community

members where demanded a great to share in the world and nice and i did, i did some sketches when or by son joe, the sense of really should be able to hit if the women are for the people for the, for jobs. but i sent the customer protesting 5 deal or, you know, in on then, and some where i, where have to buy this or does, and then die as college said into something must survive, then decided to kill this man to this coach from the 1st pension i made it was about 40 and nights and night and i, she got this particular walk. and so it's a combination of was toppling on all the many atrocities does how when does the brought or did not remind 2 tiers in our country so that so here i took it for the by trying for you from the ridges. first, memories like did,

did the pictures of it. and so by confident out there giving force, you know, through that. so this black is technically like, is trying to do like, is shocking. strikes are. and then you said it was the size, emphasizing to that you know, that these beautiful i know the kind be has a new projects in the works. so i offered to lend them a hand to. so if it's a minimum cost that's blocks and on the surface of in a box, let's see how you want to talk to so much fun and enjoying this. and also, i think there's some elemental parity in this as well. is it just play for this is not by this whole think i can double up as the assistant
