both the highlands tree and the savannah that houses our famous wildlife pack, the stuff contrast to those natural wonders is my diary. one of the largest informal settlement in sub saharan africa came to almost half a 1000000 people in the late 18 hundreds. kendra 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 be has a cutting edge contemporary oxy. that's it side by side with more traditional creative legacy. the all of this mix,

it will be an exciting cultural destination that reflects of reached pass by country has an ancient history of trade with other engine ocean cultures. and so we have 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 review the masks imposed by society. then we meet cyrus can bureau who makes the visual magic from phone to materials. beatrice when she called takes us into a studio to reveal,

have possible paintings kenya's strong mothers who resisted oppression of the inspiration for sylvia cante. 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

fuzz. so good. see that being the lady behind the masks changes is a very important thing 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 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 started that before i could afford to 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 no, be national thoughts for 4 years, being in such a space gave me so many aspects of what it means to be truly is in

nature. the i've 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 to discuss this and 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 archie africa. jenny, steve, this to the east of narrow b to the area called kind of good news. this is where we find 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 exotic. 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 task allows on using wastes a lot we using why as a loved using mit told him like a loved using plastic when i see these i don't see cause for me i see an amazing how it works for you. to mix something like these, you must think of the books. the cyrus 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 africa. so i decided to get the old black lumber, then reduce it and make them small at least, if i call them the end of last month. but i but they stated in the morning not feeling the states coordinates. i always help them taste with kids that 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 copeland is whether it's an african, 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. and if my work, the most recent is the magic 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 have pots in school. so we don't have that at college. we still have that problem of associated teen creek t v t. we've voters, even 10 total, my mama, she need to be careful with me, cause i'm a bit 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 focus countries. i look forward to hearing more

about his future travels. we'll talk next time. meaning we move to the old. oh jenny, no texas to work. i find one thing. because when the on the central piano, we had 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 work came from uh, as soon as i was looking, i think closer to the room. and so 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 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. are you into partners of the field almost like real 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 we've been a very male dominated background. 6 the

. 5 6 6 beatrice disagrees with interpretations of paintings as moving or pessimistic. for example, like this particular painting in the background is guessing blues. and then you see that a form is imagine, because that is what the woman is. it's like this that's pace. that is the part of life, but life is coming from it's the ideal 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 it was. who wants 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 oxy africa journey. takes us to the outskirts of the narrow be national park. here we're going to meet another possible female key to this

is sylvia can be 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 masked performance avatar called customer choice pass by a customer that is a tricks to character me, but i creative 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 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 embrace 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 are now part of

the, the customer's character. okay. or a cheeky, very trick series play full, but then you also never quite sure what they're going to do next. and this mosque is inspired by my condiments, which is part of their collection. ok. along with being inspired by muscles from the mcclintic 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 sylvia performs castellano and setting them into videos and images from painful moments in our recent canyon past the . so when you talk about hospital 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 mother's protests. yeah. and also right next to us in that park is in the aisle house. yeah. and the history of the aisle house you 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 place unique is that it's basement, was especially the design 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 protest this sons being detained in your house. the mother's protest inspired syria to create an artwork featuring customer in the performance that i do a customer that comes to your house and, and the purpose breaks your house and is twisting and preferable to fix this deposit and then costs with the changes. and i come and arrange some others process also by stripping out of comfortable in the background for these changes from now your house and come split into the protest. this park 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. it's actually when the police walked away. yes. and it's actually when the funds were released old,

the found footage exhibition also profile the work of narrow b photographer midwinter, the guy who captures coastal canyon communities the by featuring these 2 photographers. this exhibition exploded questions around the identities of africans in indian ocean communities. in this expedition and found footage i, we looked at also getting a cable 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 and kind of the next big show was no. my exide which showcased 6 artists working with virtual reality experiences. the ex are experiencing my but everything's together for me as a curious as how i wanted to engage with the public deeply over different types of technologies. more important to me know as experimentation so that you have it. i've introduced you to several of my favorite children. how about you come and join

trauma, all 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 watched here for many, many years and bust out of kind of gives glory to to look i asked me to send it to show me how to make a mano type of printer prints on a type one or one of these websites create that means using the bradshaw allows or cutting in to the ink. mm hm. and then we got into a place like that. i hope i can do this. i agree with the other from tom. he was it was like the license, i don't know. yeah. yes, but i mean video to do the mentoring vantage internet.
