a tough spray here in narrow be the cuts. so of my country cut yes. 9 ruby with an estimated completion of over 5000000 people as an energetic place. it is also one of africa's fastest growing cities in just over a century narrow because it comes from from a modest, really depot to vibrant metropolis, an economic and cultural habit, east africa, the away from the busy streets, the city, both the highland tree and the savannah that houses our famous wildlife pack, the stuff contrast to those natural wonders is another one of the largest info most settlement in sub saharan africa came to almost half a 1000000 in the late 18 hundreds canyon was known as british east africa. and the traces of this colonial pass out over nearby canyon became

independent from britain in 1963 these days narrow b has a cutting edge. contemporary i've seen that sit side by side with more traditional creative legacy. the all of this mix scenario be an exciting cultural destination that reflects a reach passed by country has an ancient history of trade with the indian ocean culture. and so we are multi cultural nation with competing viewpoints. the and now i'm going to show you some amazing,

narrow the access light stuff coming up in this episode of the w's artsy africa. we need more bush combined need. a multi media art is to create masks, to review the masks imposed by society. then we meet cyrus come, bureau, who makes it visual magic from founder materials we choose when to code takes us into a studio to reveal, have possible paintings, can use strong mothers who resisted oppression of the inspiration for sylvia. can these work and we'll see how social commentary dries, peterson come, why these drawings? finally, blue wrap it up with a ride in a visually unique set of wheels. the

my 1st stop on my dw artsy africa journey is to the housing, a state of blue blue that was established in narrow b in the 1970s. the it is the home of the brush to our collective mar of bush. kimani is a young artist choice, creating new masks to challenge the masks that society imposes on us the fuzz. so could see that being the lady behind the masks chimed in, is a very important theme in your work. yeah, in my work, i use masks to unmask like i

like the idea of using the most to actually invoke as such a state of mind or state will be. so i use that as a use stride plans. you know that flow is and when thoughts, i try to show that, you know, death is actually it's the foundation of life itself. you know? because like when you see the leaves fold down. yes, then that leaves. but in a few months that soil and grows the, there's a sense of found objects that is a part of your what? yeah, the why i like to because i could easily manipulated with my hands with the tools. and that was i studied that before i could afford to the and i like the mesh because of the sense of

interconnectedness and how that thing is actually separate from another thing to how it looks like it is just finding things in republishing them, giving them like another life is what i enjoy. i live at the edge of the know be national park for 4 years. being in such a space gave me so many aspects of what it means to be truly in nature. the always in my admirers work and want to give it a go myself, but don't think i can manage something so complex. so maybe this is the easiest way to begin to. oh is to discuss this and just for now just give it a brief one. as the, the bins,

the next would dw archie, africa. jenny steeds us to the east of narrow b to the area called kind of good news. this is where we find the intriguing workshop of cyrus compared to the he creates his act, works out of discarded objects. he makes his own kinds of unique re deals and sound systems, bicycles and exactly i where i grew up in that it will be on a slum quarter to quarter was on the west side of the lane, the dumpster. and so yeah, i get and signed by the task allows long use the

wastes a lot we using why as a love using mental i love using plastic when i see these, i don't see cause for me i see an amazing artwork for you to mix something like these, you must think of the books, the service is also inspired by tenuous rhodes. when motorcycles have replaced the old black bicycles that will once popular here, the nickname, black member refers to the black, my mistake that is commonly found in stop sign africa. so i decided to get the old block member then reduce it, and then make them more artistic. if i call them the end of last month, but or i,

but be stated in the morning. if i'm not feeling the states coordinator, i will, i always help them taste with kids that uh we've got a crush from back a southern country. so you can get a navy, a with beads from india metal from switzerland. they won't even be copeland is whether it's an african tyneesa, asian, or european and or that of travel mol, even i think more than 40 countries, big expeditions with museums. they have like 10 museums with my work, the most recent cities, imagine museum, which is a big tip. as a, not a not, especially from africa. cyrus made it in the art world without any artistic training in school. kids. we don't know what's in school. so we don't have

that culture. we still have that problem of associated teen creativity. we've waddell's even 10 total, my mama, she need to be careful with me cause i'm a be to we had despite the initial skepticism of his neighbors. cyrus is artistic. courier continues to grow from strength to strength. and next he will be exhibiting and at least 4 countries. i look forward to hearing more about his future travels. we'll talk next time. meaning we move to the older, the oh a jenny? no texas to work. i find one thing because when do you

to have for me central eating a, we have to have a list of a physical bodies the she catches. i've seen you and the your work concentrates and looks at body stripping. always so many labs we get to see the inside to get to the flush, the bone, the muscle. how does your process lead to that? this body of work came from a as soon as i was looking at the concept of the room. and so for me, the one for me becomes a reference to a new beginning transition. so we bus, i'm really interested about how you develop this x ray quality to your work. i think for me that uh, a tribute to brush walks hitting this body of work,

i've been using acrylics because they allow me to kind of let this so much build up of color towards you actually seeing here it's a liquid you into potential director feels almost like really glad, but i'm not looking to kind of create the block that looks like realism. yeah. on my lap is kind of that because of how as a woman i operate within a very male dominated background. 6 the. 6 beatrice disagrees with interpretations of, of paintings as booting or pessimistic. for example, like this particular painting in the background is guessing blues. and then you see the phone is imagine because that is what the room is. it's like this, that's pace. that is devoid of life, but life is for me. so for me it's the idea of hope. and then i, it's

a kind of utopia, kind of thinking, given the times that we're living in, but that's what it was. we walked about a, it's an active regeneration. the renewal of a new beginning is the lead beatrice feeling that i've stepped into a powerful and intimate female world moving into the savannah. i would dw, i'd see africa journey, takes us to the outskirts of the narrow be national park. here we're going to meet another possible female teacher. this is sylvia camby. she's a multi media performance artist. her work is challenging and that i've been doing performance work for a long time now since 2002, 3, silvia has created a messed performance advertising called customer choice pass by a customer that is a tricks to character me, but i creative to intervene inside of space and so that

a hard to hear about or hard to talk about. and it started with colonial space. yes . which had to do with the mark museum and this space and the mark museum. it's a lecture room, actually that's being used to teach and it was the space where it s number, if he was told to enrich classification was 1st told, wow, so what are these images? they basically steals from the sketch performance that i did inside of this lecture . room ok, and i was playing around with customer as a body form and gestures movement became like intuitive and that they're now part of the, the customer's character. okay. they're cheeky, very trick stories playful, but then you're also never quite sure what they're going to do next. and this mosque is inspired by a con demoss, which is part of their collection ok along with being inspired by mosques from the mcclintock culture in the market museum collection. so is customer that is inspired by a german children's public coxa, who's also called casper. and this chick step pop that has its origin in the 18th

century, the narrow beach, so we are perform discussed, but instead thing them into videos and images from painful moments in our recent canyon past the . so when you talk about cost, bella injecting themselves into spaces and stories that are hard to tell me. we have 2 stories that have been very hard to tell from our country. yep. and that is the 1992 mothers protests. yeah. and also right next to us in that park is in the aisle house. yeah. and the history of the aisle house house is an administrative building in narrow be completed in 1983. the building was commissioned by the elite president,

daniel ara point. the house is situated right next to the public which makes this piece unique is that basement was especially designed to house structure chambers. these images taken by the human rights commission show some of the horrendous rooms in which political dissidents went to attend the 1992 matters, gathered to protest this sons being detained in your, your house. the mother's protest inspired syria to create an artwork featuring cost in the performance that i do customer that comes to your house and the purpose breaks, no house, and is twisting uncomfortable to fix as deposit and then costs with the changes and i commemorates the mothers process also by stripping out of comfortable in the

background for these changes from now your house and come split into the protest. i parked on the ice strip and watch the oak across from the and the cusp of this playground does. in remembrance of this protest and to honor these mothers, this act of mothers stripping is a very powerful protest. it's. it's actually when the police walked away. yes. and it's actually when the funds were released old, but one that's really powerful work with capital and how use in such a them into all of that. thank you for giving us this wonderful story about customer. let me, i really appreciate it, which i appreciate about syria can be as work is how we to flex kenya, struggles with it's past the shows. i carried off our perspective on the complex identities that kenyans are embracing

in indian ocean communities. in this expedition and found footage i, we looked at also getting archived footage. and this also is set up so that people interact, one of the goals of being a curative for me is how does a public engage with a work? how do they live and leave the space engaged, enlightened and with new visions. another exhibition i'd love to tell you about is $27.00 and was brought in as a q a to 2 parts. eliza discussion around not only gay and lesbian human rights, but the rights of freedom in our country. section 27 of the kind of constitution speaks of the rights to equal protection before the law. and with this exhibition explored how this applies to the l g b t to i plus community who are criminalized in kenya.
