the surprises i was shoving and i am ready to dive into the hands of gentlemen to you have you have a window to start in either front porch and unexpected side to side. the . c umbrella ringer, i'm a visual at cure h. s square here in narrow be the cops, so of my country, katya 9, robi, with an estimated population 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 comes from from a modest, really depot to vibrant metropolis and economic and cultural. have the new staff pick up the away from the busy streets. the city,

both highland kerry and the savannah that houses of famous wildlife pack the stuff contrast to those natural wonders is another one of the largest informal sentiments in subsaharan africa came to almost half a 1000000 in the late 18 hundreds can. you was known as british east africa, and the traces of this colonial pass out over nearby kenya became independent from britain in 1963 these days naturally has a cutting edge contemporary art seems that sit side by side with more traditional creative legacy. the, all of this makes no be an exciting cultural destination that reflects

a reached pass by country has an ancient history of k to with other engine ocean cultures. and so we are multi cultural nation with competing viewpoints. the and now i'm going to show you some amazing narrow b r sense. let's go coming up in this episode of the w's artsy africa. we meet more bush commodities, a multi media art is to create masks, to reveal the masks imposed by society. then we meet cyrus can bureau who makes the visual magic from phone to materials we choose when to quote takes us into a studio to reveal have possible paintings,

kenya's strong mothers who resisted oppression of the inspiration for sylvia cam. these works and we'll see how social commentary drives peterson come, why these drawings finally, blue wrap it up with a right and 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 it was established in may or be in the 19 seventy's. the it is a home of the brush to our collective more of bush kimani is a young artist towards creating new masks, to challenge the masks that society imposes on us the

fun. so good to see. that being the lady behind the masks chimed in, is a very important theme in your work. yeah, in my work, i use mosques to unmask like i like the idea of using the most to actually invoke as such a stage of mine or say to be so i use the say use stripe plans. you know, that flow is. and with that, 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 liked because i could easily manipulated with my hands for the tools. and that was i studied that before i could afford to and i like the mesh because of the sense of into connectedness 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 yeah. is what i enjoy. i live at the edge of the know be national parks for 4 years. being in such a space gave me so many aspects of what it means to be truly as in

nature, the i've always admired more as 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 the feeling. oh is through this process and just for now just give it a brief one as the bins. then i'm going to the next i would dw, i'd see africa. jenny leads us to the east of narrow b to the area called categories. 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 dumpster. and so yeah, a getting signed by the task allows long use the wastes a lot we using why as a loved using mentor. i loved using plastic when i see these, i don't see cause for me i see an amazing artwork for you to mix something like bees. you must think of. so the books the

cyrus is also inspired by tenuous roads. when motorcycles have replaced the old black bicycles that but once popular here, the nickname, black member, refers to the black, my mistake that is commonly found in south south africa. so i decided to get the old black lumber and reduce it and make them more artistic. if i call them the end of last month, but i but these paid to be in the morning not feeling states coordinate try that. i always help them taste with kids that we've cutty trash from back a southern country. so you get a navy, a with beads from india metal from switzerland. they won't even be coordinators, whether it's enough it kind of a nice asian or european and know about of travel mall.

even i think more than 40 countries, big stations with museums, they have like 10 museums with my work. the most recent is the metro museum, which sees a big tip as enough not to especially from africa. cyrus made in the arts world without any artistic training in schools can cause we don't know what's in school. so we don't have that culture. we still have that problem of associated teen creek t v t. we've voters, they even tell totally my momma. 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 for kind these i look forward to hearing more about

his future travels. we'll talk next time. meaning we move to the older, the oh jenny, no texas to work? i find one thing because when do you call the phone the central eating or we have a list of a physical bodies. the she catches our senior and the your work concentrates and looks at body stripping. always so many labs we get to see the inside. we 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 contents of the room. and so for me, the room 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 what 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 very liquid you into potentially the rich feels almost like really glad, but i'm not looking to kind of create a block that looks like realism. yeah. all my life is kind of that because of how. as a woman, i operate within a very male dominated background. 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 that a phone is imagine, because that is what the room is. it's like this that's piece. that is, divide of light, but life is for me to, for meet the ideal of hope and then is 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 i 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 advertise 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 some 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 the 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 connection 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 customer. and this fixed up 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 here, and the history of the aisle house house is an administrative building in may or 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 team, is 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 process the sons being detained in your house. the mothers 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 this twisting on principle of fixes deposit and then costs with the changes. and i commemorate 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. a pipe on the ice strip and watch the oak across from the and the cause of this playground is 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 he was in such a them into all of that. thank you for giving us this wonderful story about customer. let me i really appreciate it. once i appreciate about syria cavities, 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 together with carry to don honda, i created a show called found for attention. i would love to show you mine of my 1st exhibitions. found footage found footage looks as 2 photographers, one canyon, one iranian german. the found footage show featured the work of matthew say, who documented after a hearing and communities to 4 to pass the,

the found footage exhibition also profile the work of narrow before congress. i make wins the guy who captures coastal canyon communities the by featuring these 2 photographers. this exhibition exp not questions around the identities of africans in indian ocean communities. in this exhibition 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 cure a to,

to personalize the 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. my next big show was know my exide which showcased 6 artist working with virtual reality experiences. the x r experience and all my but everything together for me as a curator how i wanted to engage with the public deeply over different types of technologies. more important to me know was experimentation so that you have it. i've introduced to some of my favorite children. how about you come and join me for

my act. moving west, our next stop is a much loved play scenario. be the go down community art center. and now i'm going to see to said, come, why the studio? he's one of our for most contemporary artist scenario be i love, he's work because they provocatively ask questions about the politics of validate peterson's work deals with ideas of society, humanity, and community. the to do his work, he examines the idea of policed and militarized forms of control. and another reason to love for you to send to enables a lot of young artists in the space, the. hi, how are you doing good. but i, i certainly would see you take us through this wonderful world of yours. all right,

major difficulties. i'm also drawn to a chuckle, sketch that peterson has done based on a life drawing session chuckle as a medium which i've locked in for many, many years and bust out kind of gives glory to, to the walk. so i asked me to send it to show me how to make a mano type of print type, wanna print on a type one or one, or proceed to the website, create an image using the bradshaw cutting to the ink. mm hm. and then with that, i need to make that i hope i can do this. i agree with the other phone. it was like say the license, i don't know. uh yes, but i mean video to do the mentoring vantage. internet.
