the stuff contrast to those natural wonders is my diary. one of the largest informal settlements in subsaharan africa, came to almost half a 1000000 in the late 18 hundreds. kendra was known as british east africa, and the traces of this colonial pass out over nearly kenya became independent from britain in 1963. these days narrow b has a cutting edge. contemporary art seems that sit side by side with more traditional, creative legacy. the all of this mix, now you'll be exciting cultural destination that reflects of reached past the my

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 narrow b in the 1970s. the it is the 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.

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 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 that as a use stride plans. you know, that flow is. and with that, i try to show that, you know, that is actually, it's the foundation of life itself. you know, because like, when you see 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 started that before i could afford to the and i like the mesh because of the little sense of into connectedness and how that thing is actually separate from another thing, no matter 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 parks for 4 years. being in such a space gave me so many aspects of what it means to be truly in nature.

the the always admired more as work. i don't 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 it just process? yeah, just for now. just give it a brief one to send them things have been, then i'm going to the next, i would dw, i see africa. jenny leads us to the east of narrow b to the area called category. this is where we find the intriguing workshop of cyrus compared to the he creates his artworks out of discarded objects. he makes his own kinds of unique re deals and sound systems,

bicycles and exactly where i grew up in. it will be on a slum quarter to quarter was on the west side of the lane, the dumplings. so yeah, a getting signed by the test. i love law. use the wastes a lot. we using why as a love using med, told them like a love using plastic when they see these, i don't see tests for me. i see an amazing artwork for you to mix something like these. you must think of some of the books. the service is also inspired by can you is rose. 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, then reduce it and make them small at 50. if i call them the end of last month, but i but the spit tending uh the morning. not feeling uh, states when they try that i always help name teeth with kids that uh we've cutty trash from back a southern country. so you can 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 that of travel mall

have been i think more than 40 countries, big expeditions with museums. they have like 10 museums with my work. the most recent is the med museum. which sees a big tip, and i'm not, especially from africa. cyrus made in the arts world without any artistic training in schools. kids who don't know what's in school. so we don't have that culture. we still have that problem of associated t, v t, v t. we've voters, they even tell totally 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. korea 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 travel. we'll talk next time.

meaning we move to the older, the oh jenny, no texas to change. this is what i find wanting because when the, for me central meeting a, we have a list of, of 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 that the flush, the bone, the muscle. how does your process lead to the the body of watch came from

a as soon as i was looking at the contents of the room. and so for me, the room for me to comes in reference to a new beginning transitions 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 walk, 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 partners. so the rich feels almost like really glad, but i'm not looking to kind of create 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 due by the lights, but life is coming from. it's the idea of hope. and then it's a kind of utopia kind of thinking, given the times that we're living in. but that's what i want. we want to be about. it's an active regeneration. the renewal of a new beginning is the i, the beach is feeling that i've stepped into a powerful and intimate female world. moving into the savannah, i would dw, actually, 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 lead. i've been doing performance work for a long time now since 2002, 3. silvia has created a masked performance advertising called customer choice pass by a customer that is a tricks to character me that i created to intervene inside of space. is that a hard to hear about or hard to talk about? and it started with colonial space. yes. which has to do with some mark museum and this space and the mark museum. it's electra room, actually that's being used to teach and it was the space where as number, if he was told and risk justification was 1st told. wow. so what are these images? they basically stills from the sketch performance, so that is 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, or a cheeky, very tricks to raise playful, but then you're also never quite sure what they're going to do next. and this mosque is inspired by a condom us, which is part of their collection. ok. along with being inspired by muscles from the mcclintock culture in the market museum collection. so is customer that is inspired by and german, childrens public coxa, who's also called customer. and this fixed up pop that has its origin. in the 18th century, the narrow beach sylvia performs castilla and setting them into videos and images from painful moments in our recent kenyon past the . so when you talk about caspell, a 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 property which makes this peace. 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 you in which political dissidents went to change. the 1992 matters gathered to protest this sons being detained in your house.

the mother's protest inspired c. we had to create an artwork featuring customer in the performance that i do, customer that comes to your house and the purpose breaks your house and is twisting and possible. the fix is deposit and then costs with the changes. and i commemorate some others process also by stripping out of the customer or the background for these changes from your house and comfortable it into the protest. this pipe and i strip and watch the oak across from the customers. playground is in remembrance of this protest and to honor these mothers. this act of mothers stripping is a very powerful protest cuz 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 you've in such
