and then when the racing questionnaires, oh, i'm new to the computer screen. this kind of fun, i feel like there's the rate the welcome to lagos, to be cutting on the capital of my country. nigeria may go to the coastal cities situated on the shores of west africa, the items you look at. so as i'm a visual storyteller and culture for dcf, let me show you my city the 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 vast cities this pro, across for, into connected. i'm in the, from the humble floating fishing community of michael. cool. ok. sorry about the hold to 6000 mila news in us. on the 10th and after dark, we knew how to have a good time the over the years i've documented my city to art and culture of adoption.

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, inspired by all 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, i think who presents is holland. you knew what the

1st stop is the walking class area of mickey, pending 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 of you know, work the hey, sorry. i think i'm just getting ready to start on the collage. the tires visual language consist of depicting strengths of human hair to into holding with carl

link . why did you decide to approach your work? you know, from this perspective, it was really because of my own hair is on 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 in love 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. i know who i she was she from an 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 rem and on the left of this all my quite a lot of stuff. ok. so there's some beads that i just cut out and then you see the hair. so this, so some of the images i'm gonna cut the amount due on the cut something i would you know 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's a lot that women doing and they make a little contribution to, to society. 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 okay, by the inputs on stuff we don't necessarily have to like be in the forefront by thinking and thoughts on the people at least aware of for, to a doing behind the good. absolutely. yeah. so this is in a way, an acknowledgement of women's role and also importance is yeah. empower, empower. yes. my time we tie 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 domain a to get started 5 from ties, place. we travel east across the famous lucky bridge i, we've had for the oldest several or because we this is where we find the angels and we use false level,

which is an awesome to beta space. and it was founded by the alt is stick to the come in the lifetime though, victor is also using b to create is alt, what the t is waiting to pray. take on disrupting symbols from childhood and dropping catholic went to catholic schools and everything on the some of the terms of what shape of belief system that i had side by side with dr. young. 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 african odd out of where he belongs, does he have a different many way to use it for something that is the last time. so those are

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 is the king domains. the king is the way he would normally drains the . so what's in the eyes and the a lot of my walk is that the presence of i can know graphing because it's what ties already walks together that they come on right now. you're going to see in 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 this we had things that were on the was of the village. daniel's body is created. my own visual language with that big too, 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 ad collector of the name bronzes sabine influences a group of several 1000 metal clocks and sculptures that used to decorate the royal palace in the kingdom of the name in what is today known as a those states the nigeria in 1897 british troops release them from beginning to date. the largest collections are to be found in britain, germany, and to america. the risk due to the bidding process where we tell him to the of the king of the name. by decree in 2023, where they will be displayed as money had been decided. and i think that we as humans and to be making them as a living try to try

a living culture with continuing story event. it says at every given time in history, one of africa's biggest cultural projects is a museum of west african out more currently under construction in the city with 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 illegals. he also mentos emerging autism. i'm the photographer, are you by me? we is one of these prodigies you work with us, so we have to be careful here. yeah. i oh, 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. like your advice i am by mistake involves the interweaving of the photographs. this is my room and i been present by that, right? yes is great. i love it or love it. thank you. is this almost like a hide and seek kind of fly waving on our yeah, you kind of like you see me, you don't see me and you don't see me awhile. bach. i was in the schools kindergarten and these kids were weaving colored people. right. and i just have that to that, i was really frustrated with the process but came to able to come up with, i know it's like, oh and then somebody just totally like, oh what if you do? you move 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 is like at no cost. right? and then we have this situation where people choose the sprint vibrate and then the costs to be altered from it just to identify with each other. so it could be differentiate 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 did something about this business emptiness. they had raised all of their kids and everybody is not out of a house. so i photographs of them in front of the front of the car. and in front of the house and the space you could see them keeping the house to themselves. what else do funding besides each other?

so i'd be sense of the relationship that's this would be who they are doing. there was an oven. you for them to come together and have a conversation and be friends. they also do not turn it down. so that is more displeases, it's all about the meat, are you by me and journey to the suburb of mainland to meet one of my jewish farmers, contemporary artist carnival ties, analysis that i've worked with in the past. and i find his work rather intriguing. i the, 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 is where all the human fos, liz, so that you can when they bought the tim the he my story. as a graphic, artist and painter. kind of these are the focuses on human subjects on 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 pull and polluted. the delta region lives in south of nigeria. in november 1991 under the seat of president of passenger, the nigeria military action against protest as in delta region. and we community

members where demanded a great to shit in the long run and nice and i did. i did some coaches when or by son, joe, a sense of military people to a hulu for women, and for the people for the, for jobs. but i sent the customer protesting 5 deal or, you know, in on then somewhere where have to buy this or does, and then die escalated into something. my supervisor 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 said, god, this particular walk. and so that's it, combination of was toppling on all the many atrocities does how when does the brought or the not a month to p is in our country. so the, so here i took a 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, to that. so this blackest technically like is trying to do like, is shocking strikes are and then you said it was a size emphasizing to that you know, that these beautiful i know the kind be has a new project in the works. so i offered to lend me my hand so, 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 platform for that is not that is think i can double up as the assistant
