can i really do this? should i really do this? all of that is kind of been slowly dissolving off to this experience and i'm becoming a more short version of myself. i'm definitely putting on the big boss, lady. she was now the hello. i am the ringer, i'm a visual at cure h. s. we're here in narrow be the cop. so of my country code. yes. 9, robi, with an estimated population of over 5000000 people is 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, an economic and cultural habit, east africa, the away from the busy streets, the city,

both the highland theory and the savannah that houses are famous wildlife pack, the stuff contrast to those natural wonders is another. one of the largest informal sentiments in sub saharan africa came to almost half a 1000000 people. 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 of contemporary art. seems that 6 side by side with more traditional creative legacy. the all of this mix scenario be an exciting cultural destination that reflects

a reach pass by country has an ancient history of trade with the indian ocean culture. and so we have multi cultural nation with competing viewpoints of the and now i'm going to show you some amazing, narrow b r said let's go coming up in this episode of the w's artsy africa. we need more bush to money. a multi media art is to create masks, to review the masks imposed by society. then we meet cyrus come, bureau, who makes a visual magic from found the materials we choose when g code takes us into a studio to reveal have possible paintings,

can use strong mothers who resisted oppression are the inspiration for sylvia. can these work and we'll see how social commentary dries, peterson come one of 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 towards creating new masks, to challenge the masks that society imposes on us the

fuzz. so, could see that being the lady behind the masks. a challenge is, is a very important team in your work. yeah. in my work, i use mosques too. and much 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 with 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 such as that before i could afford to the and i like the mesh because of the 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 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 my selves. i don't think i can manage something so complex. so maybe this is the easiest way to begin to. oh is through this process and just for now just give it a brief one as then i'm going to bins. then i'm going to the next. i 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 it will be on a slum quarter to quarter was on the west side of the lane, the dumpster. and so yeah, i getting signed by the trash. i love law use the wastes a lot we using why as a loved using mental i love using plastic when i see these i don't see trust 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 10 years 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 stop sign up or so i decided to get the old black lumber and reduce it and make them more artistic. i called them the end of last month, but i but they stated in the morning not feeling the states coordinates. i always have name teeth with kids that we 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 copeland is whether it's an african chinese 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 and if my work, the most recent is the match museum, which is a big temp as enough not to, especially from africa. cyrus made it in the art world without any artistic training in schools. because we don't know what's in school. so we don't have that at college. 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 sir, as we move to the oldest tab of on our journey now takes us to work. i find wanting because when the for me central meeting a we have to 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 that the flesh, the bone,

the muscle. how does your process lead to that this body of watch came from uh, as soon as i was looking, i think one of the room is a for me, the room for me to comes in 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 to be to brush walk in this body of walk. i've been using eclipse 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 have direct, feels almost like really glad, but i'm not looking to kind of create a 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

. 5 6 6 beatrice disagrees with interpretations of, of paintings as booting or pessimistic. for example, like this particular painting. clone discussing blues. and then you see that a form is imagine, because that is what the room is. it's like this, that's pace. that is devoid of life, but life is coming for me to 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 i want to talk to me 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 oxy africa journey. takes us to the outskirts of the narrow be national park.

of the, the customer's character. okay. are cheeky, very trick series, playful. but then you 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 for on the mcclintock culture in the market museum collection. so is customer that is inspired by a german childrens public coxa, who's also called customer. and this chick stuff pop that has its origin in the 18th century, the narrow beach. so we have performed, discuss bella and setting them into videos and images from painful moments in our recent canyon past the . so when you talk about caspell, a injecting themselves into spaces and stories that are hard to tell me,
