dentures and oh, inspirational with d w. so you want to know what makes with love and binding thing away. but i'm not going to have to work my own car and everyone with later holes in every single day. getting a you ready to meet the german and join me, rachel stuart on d. w. all it has been a part of the human condition for as long as we've been on this planet to day, we are going to explore the role of art in origin story. how to not only use as an expression of aesthetics, but also as a vehicle to celebrate and document the symbolism and technology of that age. arguably the oldest form of odds can be found here in africa,

created by our ancestors to modern humans. back to everything modern in today's shows, mo kenzie takes us through his city booge umbrella. the largest city in burgundy showing us have favorite spots malawi in fashion, designer, poet, comedian and drag queens and e. it shows as his world. and later we joined to surround mrs. tit in cape town who speak through their art, creating beautiful and culturally relevant pieces. i am sure the funds are mostly the and you are watching f for max a . today we're exploring rock odds, adornment and symbolism of early human kind in southern africa. russ,

a 100000 years ago. before we delve more into collective origin, we traveled to the island life of maricia joining gabriel floor behind the scenes of the glamorous fashioned world. gabrielle was fond of fashion label. the african marquis embraces his route as a descendant of african slaves brought to maricia during the colonization of the island. by creating an excitingly very, she's very modern collection. he brings fresh interest to the wiles of historical and culturally based african narrative making africa a global 4 was in the fashion industry. the ah hail, correctly very straight. it's been months of preparation actually to bring up here

this collection today. and we finally here shooting it for one of the biggest might have been from the country. so the fact that the african market is digital native, ryan, and we are currently on social media. we'll meet flight, stressful, because you know how it goes and social media. we've lived from s and everything, but it is an important opportunity to create a deeper narrative about the installation of the collection. so yeah, the inspiration and the story of this particular connection is very important to gabrielle. as it tells you everything about his label, the african, much inspired by the last movement, an important intersection that illuminates the connection between fashion enslavement and peace. subtler z which is the last city on the author, defense. and on ghazi is one of the biggest movement actually in the republic of congo, where people have come forward with a way of dressing up being luxurious,

wearing very well tailored clues, with super color bringing joy actually to the community. the cultural movement was born in congo rather vill and his best known as an elegance that brought hominy in the middle of congress. chaos. in the early years of colonialism, congress men took the style of the slave owners hand me downs, and crafted into their own vibrant and flamboyant high fashion. there appeared advocate elegans in all circumstances and ethos into around respect, peace, integrity, and on this whole that appear has to be non violent, swell, manage, and, and inspiration through the attitude and behavior. so the, a b, s. s, behind us is mainly respect for each other. and for me it has been very important to incorporate this specific movement in the collection. because we are in

a current situation in the world where i want to see more joy around rather than bringing sadness. we express, i was cruising and i want people to really breathe again, feeling dental's valued in a very luxurious that for can key is filling, avoid connecting young morrison to the ancestral african roots, positively informing the creative expressions while celebrating the continent is interested to the there's a lot of papers and actually going behind magazines for to sure. we have specific ideas that we have portrayed in a mood board really bring forward this african as for example, the hair has to be graded. the make a positive to be certain way. we have accessories that i'm currently unpacking to reflect the luxurious mindset, which is the of laptop. so if you're wearing,

for example, one of these pieces of the collection, you celebrate african thrive and centuries of creativity. for example, for me, i've been inspired deeply by the lake in senegal, the lake red bar, where this is the pink color where you're going to see in some of the pieces repeatedly in the collection, just aligned with the immersion society that is leaving in peace and harmony and that celebrates individual ality gabrielle, once the one of the pink color to inform the story, to become a tool to produce alternative identities of the old marissa. this is a melting pot of cultures harmoniously, co existing on the island in itself. a unique story to share with the world. so which is amazing, right? so when you, where an african market government, you get to celebrate centuries of african treaty in

a very chic and novel way. because what actually, what, where can change the weight, how you feel about yourself? it's about a claim in our own uniqueness funds on ac creativity. and the most important piece is rather v. yeah, ah and that's a vis cancelled here in johannesburg at the origin center, exploring the life and times of our early emphasis. i'm a tammy hodgkins, the curious to hear me. thank you so much for joining us here today. most of us know or have as a to drop off hands. i've africa. but it was quite interesting of the colors and paints used in the background. so i think the painters were so talented, i think, in terms of making paint and making the beautiful art forms and the the paint is

mostly made out of ok. sometimes blood was added to make it more powerful. a lot of the rock art, very spiritual, and so certain things that have been added to make the pain more powerful and make the rock hot more powerful as well to tell those stories. so this is a print of an artist kennel. so harold, pongo and type in the fifty's to redeem a gorgeous withdraw conferred and took photographs, black, black and white photographs of the panels and spent months for the years of his life painting over them so that it's an amazing document. now of what the rocket looked like at the time because it'll be a lot more faded today. and it shows a lot of these spiritual things like these figures that you at 1st thing call humans, but they actually all have the heads of back. they half human, half animal figures, they don't have any feet. you have certain features that you see in the rock on that we know it is more test with the spiritual beings and the beliefs of the sun

and the coin people in and they often aren't just in and took, might be a transforming medicine man who has taken on the power of the supernatural potency of an ill and to go into the spirit world. and so some of the interpretations have been that the rock heart was seen as the divide between the real world. rome and the spirit world around nothing is more powerful as innovation with a key, a vicious and as always after max vetch, bring you the story behind the curve. we need to have a legal system in place that as people to have the rights to say that this was unfair and i needed this to be addressed. and this was wrong. i was harassed, i was abused, i was hit, et cetera, whatever. and it needs to be addressed. if i'm not going to be the people, i'm not going to like you even if they're, even if the world says to whatever you want. and it's legal, they still not going to like you. but if ever they cross that line, they should be prosecuted for those for those crimes. so here is

a designer, comedian and actor, who's as drag as a dramatic art for him to make his voice heard a job. i'm going, i'm going to know, so my ridge of where i'm going, i'm going to jewel gigi's or junk message over normal logs. i am actually also from like joe burke in like south africa at the same time. but this is the thing men, people always assume there was assume that i'm different, like i'm from somebody else in what the over, which is true. i'm from both ali africa and also from a law we, there's a part like across town, i can't go to because i'm, there is a fear of being attacked physically attacked. and the thing about is malory has a mob mentality. so if one person goes off, everyone goes off. if i to tell you all the things that happened this weekend to really hard to still fathom, be an artist in malawi is hide. and when you also have to fight issues around you identity, it is incredibly lonely. so here's other persona had

a solution to create, not just a safe space, but also a community. i'm a gemini, i like to view myself as to personalities. so i like to say miss grande's from the other part of me that's free. that is open, that is unapologetically to say, whatever she wants to say in that moment. that's white view. her the year is here to make sure that bus is running. he's here to pay the bill so that the lights are on, is here to make sure that the shoes there is here to make sure that whatever bad things happen to him and his customer service is bad, he can take it and make a good review out of it, he's just that behind the scenes of everything. so the background of them allowing allergic to the community has been out there for a very long time. but people haven't been comfortable to live as themselves in malawi and the highlights of the algebra. the community came when entity wall at

transgender woman married her husband, back in dallas, around 2010. and that issue became so big that other international organizations had to intervene. and that's when my lawyers started talking more about our community and what it's like to be in the community, but we'll never accepted in community in malawi, when we rolled with the 1st rainbow night on the response we had, we had the turn out was really good by nozzle with the backlash you guys seen from other customers? i usually be regulars here. and they, they still have that void of not trying to, to me part of it because of the ideas. i just, i just, i think maybe is the information to have so i think we're not, we're not really educated much to accept lpg community. so i know that spaces like this and, and putting a voice out. it makes a favorable for everyone. i am on the african approach doing cosivity in

terms of the algebra community would be unity within communities within different communities and unity between society as a whole. because once we lose the support that we get from society, we cannot move forward. the fact that he thought hitting anyone, he's not bringing pain to anyone's lives. he's such an amazing person. he's so flamboyant and there's a lot of joy he would say, like, i love is sense of humor. the person that he has been he's, he's been through so much and the way i look at it, he's just trying to survive. so i like to carry light. so if it's a long show to suitcase, but today it's going to be more of an interactive show. so i have my bag and i just basically stuff everything. the hughes journey is far from over, but he's determined to continue with his art while living his best.

ah, please tell us more about the pieces and see how this space is looking at some of the cultures and the items that were worn during the trans stones in everyday life, by some of the phone hung together communities. and so we have flies switches. we have some shoes, we have beautiful, tortoise shell containers that are useful medicines and things. ostrich, a shelby's, which a lot of people nurse, a beautiful ostrich eggshell beads that we find thousands of an archaeology. and i still use today, and we do see some changes. but mostly and how the beads came together, what kind of maybe hindrances reward or different decorations that were on the phone on to never. and so we see a lot of changes also between all the different language groups. it's not just one big group that the, the, some were there was so many different language groups and different cultures. it's interesting to see how history has changed to what it is today. and that,

that the coaches with live today another group of us to a steeped in tradition and communicate with the emphasis in creating this are pieces. in the so ceramics they take us through their creative purses. pays the future. kase past case. we are part of being a said, i mean, just now in this continent, in this country and in this universe, really, it means so much that we are able to travel the way and share our stories and be the trend of the media. i can, it will take us back in time, in history and lead to the next generation. our design philosophy is about celebrating our cultural heritage being proud of who we are and sharing that with

a world. it's also important for us to incorporate our contemporary ways of doing to make the work live in the modern world of well, we are co founder of immune system makes but we a completely independent artist and each one creates in their own way in terms of the technicalities of style, the process itself, but we still work in one space which is beautiful. so this collection is called even way g beds list just to to, if i took it in the car rather than nothing k p, i saw this massive, massive ness coming up is so beautiful. it will be showcasing it to miami, december 2022. so there's false. at this stage, i mean the process of glazing it. so this piece has been fired. why does so fast? but i use a lot of textures to mimic the grass. and so when it's finished,

you look at it didn't think it would grasp because of the texture that i've created . when met at nelson monday, luna visited technology and limited in ceramics and majoring, takes towns. we became friends and later and moved to cape town, i followed the following year, and then we realize that we have a same goal in division, hence give me so set up mix the name is derived from them. so in this course, meaning tomorrow, then the idea. ready is for us to work today for the bid tomorrow. so the next show is focusing on celebrating our traditional african hairstyles. there's so much detail that goes into the office of making the here. so i'm busy constructing the cone shape. it's going to basically go on top of this base here, and the miniature version of it is just across there. it's inspired by the shook, who has dial from with africa and in nature it has to be constructed into 2 parts

because we are limited by the height of the kil, tara, and sunday, have been with us for 1516 years. the basic has support both of us. without them the work wouldn't exist. so this is for his head, stuart, for the nutrition exhibition that i'm doing for television. so i went to stores that someone is doing and in the tree tablets which have different meanings. and so it's quite exciting because of how they wouldn't be exhibited amongst the collection of the 20 forms and tablets and 10 of the old age writing k. so with my fucking, we were given language for me as soon as i thought it was so fitting to be able to create it is tablets also that have meaning from the past. and that for to guide us for the next generation. my genuine claim started when i was in the child

in the village. it was a name that you think a come to say in my total amount is that we used to just flag down the river, collect the cli, make objects. but little did i know that this is the time is my child who was being mortgage and whispered and guided by mine cisco out here the voices and which now tend to appear in my visions to this will be symbols and visuals that i make. i call them we l is meaning messages from my my ancestor from the underwent ah, no to see. after you left us, do you look for beautiful to play, right. then they use the into go corporate books. such

a beautiful can academy. there's a cultural residence in these works that do resonate with people globally spiritual practices are so important and also embedded in his object. and i think that's the kind of importance of us if it came arrived, the kind of limitations of understanding and really becoming something that anyone would want to interact with. these are all the kids that carry in energy and the message of healing. but for me, but for my community, for the view was and for those who actually pass, continuing what they could not fulfill in their lifetime due to circumstances of this country in the continent, africa, what we're seeing here now is only just the beginning. we have, as a young,

wasn't asked by adding to be like, easy future, but was it expressive? communicating ah, tammy, we are now in the tapestry room. we auto creates of contemporary tapestries interpreting the research here at the center. one meet the center commission. these, i think this is my favorite room to beautiful handmade embroidery is 11 of them that illustrate the history of the found people. so we have the story from the origins of people looking at the rock cart, all the different ways that nature was interacted with them. interaction with different people, a lot of conflicts. and that occurred during the summer history with different groups of people. how modern life has affected the communities and then really positive look to the future. so interesting how all of that could be interpreted

into all of that. please take us through the timeline and the history of all the tapestries that are yet. so i think it kind of encapsulates at all. so from living so closely with nature and this respectful nature, to interaction with different people in different life ways through time in the landscape. and art forms different draw cos and then looking at conflict with different people. and i think it's all just beautifully shown through the trade, an ostrich eggshell, beads and glossy feeds. and there were 90 women that worked on these tapestry 90 women. and speaking of an amazing woman, i am still interested in the tapestry of sar bucklin to tell me more about it. so this is a beautiful tapestry. in this tapestry sorrow is shown as protected by flowers. she was put on display in the 1800s as a terrible example of what colonial people to do by showing people that were

different and saying different by all from us and how we protect her remains on our back in south africa. and it's a, it's a, it's a powerful tapestry that shows a lot of how, how hard our history has been and how, how a lot of african people have been treated. and it's so important to tell the story . and for us to talk about the story, because it shows us where we started, especially as women and where we are right now. exactly. now i think that's exactly what it is and how we can move forward from this. thank you so much, tammy. this has been an amazing journey and i think the tapestry room has become my favorite room to sing. mackenzie is showing us her favorite spots in buddha, in boone de la join over the. 2 what's up? well, my name is more now, was that penny. it's also known as mo kinsey. i'm jan. i'm a senior, and i live in rad that make a copy of monday. the name was changed from symbol read through after the
