So its a coupon city valet, and ive been dancing with and company for about 2 years to neo. We have about 6 productions and our if it uh, goes through contemporary new testicle and by late on seeing as don says, we are active and each role requires something different. So one role will require you to be in touch with your feminine side. And one role required to be in touch with your masculine side. What kind of do you have to be one entity . You have to be this one. Its easy, a waiting does a great connection in the job as the male counterparts as seen the and her body, how she wants to be home, like on the waste, on the left, you know, because they run is different pricing. He always tries to push himself to the limits to say, okay, lets do more peer with next jump higher. And he isnt afraid to ask other peoples opinions, which i think is helping him a lot to, to grow as an artist. I love like having so much control of my buddy. Thats why we train to be able to stand and one foot and dial it and you missed 2 days of not the training. You go back to spend one, its so easy for, for your, your body to forget. So its the discipline that you have to have like a common misconception that was file is conroe it so soft and its so so feminine. But we literally treat it as hard as right, because were hosting the whole day. And then by the time seminar, co kids, then you have to perform and stage get home at 11, youre tired. And then you have to, peter already gave the phone dani grew up in civil king, went to the National Scale of audits. And you how does that and fund raise the fees for you 1st . Yeah, at the cape academy of performing arts by hosting a session. So all these designs i thought of making codes at the age of 15 and i switched it on to fashion tv. That in spite needs to actually create my own collections. And ever since ive just been on the road when im sketch shamore, designing, i never think of like where they since for female or a male, i just literally just think the human body is my kansas. I love came around with and drawn janine full of the just the position between, um oversized and um, very tight. Um heavy light, bluff contrasting like giving me a tools like as you can see like i have metals and basically all my pieces. I like being like looking very stacey, but also like strong and theres also an idea of like a warrior in my head, but also like sy fy and took a lot take, you know, because i love sy fy movies. But with regards to me, of cycling handles funded during covent, when we couldnt go to the shops and buy materials, i looked around the house, and then i was like a grocery bags go on and sees them as prototypes. See, see what the actual codes would look like. I really like the way they load. I just decided as opposed to in my socials and then one day like be up on social media. And then ill just like i let me just keep on making more. I really enjoy recycling makes it feel good, because then im contributing to the environment and being environment to be conscious. I recently just got into a new odd form which is called punch needling. Essentially it is in void. Your your tool by recently exhibiting my work at young buck gallery and essentially the narrative requests to explore what it is that makes me a black south africans today. I gave black start africans today being a pain around with like the pride colors. I couldnt even think straight another narrative than was the concept of what if. So what if the top which is the last, even though its a black zillow . Boy, what if Marge Simpson was a post a little mix . It just twisting and coming narratives and turning them into african narrative. What inspired one of my recent took back collections was the agenda based violence. As a man, i wanted to be the voice to help and seems to bring awareness of the violence thats been happening in south africa. Well, actually, all over the world, we dont have to protect our daughters. If weve educated on sundays and business, beautiful african women, right . Yeah, you know, chosing the eyes being like, yeah, i play, im beautiful and i hear you dont gunny suitcases. Hes designs as boom out, which is derived from the 1st the levels of the 1st name and surname. Usually when i posed on social media, the reception is really positive. So i guess then like in spies into create more content page on the form and brings about a different side to be and dont keep on expending them because a lot of exploring my creates ot testing my limits. I just know that like, im destined for great this. Thats something that id like in friends and mean, and im hoping that my work takes me where im going to be of 44 stanley is amazing. The rising gym of johannes, vague thanks to a cd courtyards h all could take to dining intake, shopping and living experiences. I was bryan green. The grains behind this project was going to tell us a bit more about this. In a wasted brian, you have a growing wonderland in johannesburg, backyard telling me how have you q rated 44 stand leads to be the bustling house that it is today. 44 stanley avenue started a long time ago. 2003. And ive had no Prior Experience in uh, in property. I come from this world of television. These buildings were empty. That being boarded up and all i had was the dream. It is evident that you have a key, a vision when it comes to this place. Can you let us in, on any exclusive plans that you have in the future . So theres nothing really that is kind of exclusive or that im focusing on the big what. What i do constantly do is you never drop football. You never kind of take your ohio force happening, how you can exploit the property more, how you can open up a little cavity and turned it into a shop. So youre always looking for new opportunity within the space. And i think weve created something that people really appreciate, that sort of fancy. Its real and it just keeps getting better. Thank you, ryan, for welcoming us into this space. While i wonder this warren of delights, lets say it over to malawi, to find out more about a growing delicacy evolving out of a low cost staple. Go tweets. Going up with my mother. I will tell you definitely we should do it. You go because it was a spell every time its all. No, it smells. Oh no, it smells. Hes the only one im yet to convince. I mean hes a but yes, hes a tough one. When i was young, i think it was bad, bad. And i just threw it in myself. Let me stay my speak. Good to me to say no that comes back shift please. I am hungry is im an hour and shift that has made it his mission to change peoples appreciation of complete. Theres a lot more that we can do is go to manage what is really good. And so i have also been trying to get some small. So some good out there because i know definitely be smoked, almost everything is out there. I dont think ive ever heard of some of the quote go beat is lower and century dispatch and collect strong and high and i and then the african staples of beef, pork and chicken. This makes it the healthy alternative. Most of the goal of experience is either then youre much warmer, which is a bright or get a vehicle issue. And then the goods you you read and you find people asked me experimenting in it. Its normally just as you make a new and almost to virginia as the board itself on your tomatoes, lucys in the unit in the well 1st in the cells. Kind of get sore throat of each list. And if its something that gets hard, so its like using rubber. So it just always depends. So this is my pre provision for my goal k. So usually what i do, i would go to the market, selectable, havent killed the market, go to them, and now we are usually left to forage. Returning home in the evenings for water, which means the bench a for the environment and more sustainable in terms of farming than most cattle. Redrum meet after we get it. Basically, like with some the goal k. I drive up there with some pretty good of simpler a. Normally the spaces you use in a, in a very basic, the way i do what i do with the spacing beforehand. This to try and eliminate the sense of the quote as much as possible. Because even like right now, as im 100 indeed right now you you dont smell was a quote. You just smell the spices you used to know the to very nice know the public um the rosemary in their mix rooms and put in there. Yeah. So um by this time 24 hours. Yeah. And everything is sent is going normally people increase that would um start with the value of the on use. But a going to meet 1st because i want to have the little color twit bonus of the need. And then because i was waiting for you may need it by friday. And 1st im also bringing out the spices. And so the oil is that and Everything Else im going to put into, into this car. You just want to have the space is the main need for everything. Just oil works altogether. The scientist has prepared good lead to this along with food festival. So ive tasted everything, but im happy with it. Um, ive got no problems with it. People come in and yeah, just open because its unfortunate and just a little later and then i would have liked sofa what is going really well hasnt been to collapse. Look for almost out look about is actually still people a little skeptical about what is there. But yeah, im pretty sure that once one present tries me at this moment, please new car you. Yeah. And what goes out the issue of setup to a lot of people dont know is that good news is actually good. Good to me. It doesnt have a lot of diseases. So if you want me to go to the store, i do good every day. And like her, im just a casual indulgence. I think god is okay, but i dont think its the special but the story behind me made great above with god. Thats why i might change my mind the give us that 15 because you move it is 3000 which is 2000. Its not box 6. You get to this one. I think a bad smell easy, the voice mode that they gave me. I tried to even get another b c because i can trace and that smell yeah. Why is it may be because this is more, i dont know if i am to, does that got a good way that would identify the smell but at least one is quite unique. It was really good. Like you can see the fact that its gods need, like i dont think if they hadnt told me, i wouldnt be able to just think of the defense. I would have just to seem to be. So no matter how you cut it. So wed wind the, theres so much to do around here. So i thought i could use a some company see how long ago the property manager is joining me to how my eyes are drawn towards everything around us, telling me how do you make it so accommodating for those who want to spend the day around . Yeah, versus the place way you can shop wireless to what . Uh, wireless do sit on the la bustling or leaf trees buses. Quite a nice scenery and weve got a Business People working from home.

So looking forward to come to this place. So we can 8 so from flowers, supple odd shuffle, clothes, and so much more. Thank you so much for making time for us, and i cannot wait to take the rest of the place out. Go on. That is a treasure trove of ancient cultures. Lets go find out more about the hidden histories woven in the royal umbrellas. A key pupils of an umbrella is to shoot a pest in from hot weather conditions. But in gunnar, using an umbrella for a king or queen in a Traditional Space, goes beyond that function. So theres many stories that how important is a live umbrella came or already settled in gonna . Um, many of our teams in queen mother is already used to umbrellas, but during the early 1700, the umbrella for gifted by the dutch. But they all have different imagery, different sizes, different colors, and fabrications. With that, when that venison was born to gaming in parents and grew up in the united states, she later relocated to grandma and set up to see him the foundation that offers the platform where demi is coming to rest with our historical past to present day. So say honey and like connection to the royal umbrella as far away from me. So be reconnected to my call to a heritage and to also to my teeth and see legacy that my parents you to tell me about when i was younger. I mean, as far but my grandfather and being able to see that a lot of his information wasnt assessable and gonna, and even to our family. It made me realize a lot of individuals like myself, who are in gonna, or even outside are dealing with the same thing where they know about their lives. They know about this history, but they dont have any photos or artifacts to bring it back or reconnected. Rick to inbox on for our journey from the capital city across to meet one of the royal umbrella mikas intimacy in the ocean to region as the people of san we are the most shanty region after dominantly umbrella make it the one whose thoughts me this craft is called clear from supplement, his knowledge, the number of the key is defined. For me, this craft provides the means to look up to my funding. In making the umbrella you sent drive the bumble into sun. As this prevents effects infestation, then use triple attempting to sizable pieces. We subsequently apply some kind of caused one to bump loose trips to present them. We then measure them those chips according to the preferred size of the umbrella. These chips and then a range of dates for the long 1. 00, and 6. 00 for the short pieces. Then you preferred close to the trip and then run the long trips to fuss them, them to get a lot of people. After that, you run another trip to Different Solutions along the edges and then tighten and notes. So thats trips spread out, keeping the when you ok. We live if im big over the umbrella frameworks and talk to them family with needle tread along the edges to complete the umbrella making process. Done a lot to know what the guys, what into one of the dash during the colonial era treat any gun. The noun as good course present to the best umbrella. So what i sent the chief in 17 o 8 as a gift and has things been used up in the Traditional Space up until now to depict, to stay close and staff us and identify out the role umbrellas there used to be an identity there for a lot of the individuals are coming to a to see ceremonies and festivals, many times a to, to have multiple umbrellas, even if its large or small. But theyre never gonna have the same design. And even when the maybe the ashanti king is in front of other kings or like sub chiefs, his umbrella will always be the largest or help me. So ronda by its multiple umbrellas, not just one or many of the substitutes will be under maybe a medium sized umbrella to sell that at the end of the day, the king is a king of all of the other chief. When there is a white umbrella. It might not have any design, it would just be a plain white umbrella. This. Okay, so is that a chief has some religious context or he is represented by a church, but usually dont be though for special events or maybe for that special ceremony that youll see a white umbrella before my residency started. I was part of the Group Exhibition that was curated by my ones. I can. It was a great opportunity for me to so case my umbrellas and a gallery space. Usually my umbrellas, ive seen and the museum exhibitions. But it was the 1st time for me to really see how a new audience will interact with my work and also to be able to re introduce myself and a new light where now im bringing the Historical Archive and the importance of the roy umbrellas and a gallery space. This is julie who yeah. Ive gotten in an africans us lives. Its 6 move down memory lead. When i see this re asked to fax only on festival cases. First, i have done a very good job and i wish to all the best in all hand, davis, the Younger Generation likes me guess to have a few of our rich quotesoft and also out of 10. 6 ask for con conditional. Asked to fax the im able to re imagine and reclaim occupancy archives through photos, artifacts, videos for them within my art, as process, im able to uphold the roy on bellows, which was a historical object, but now being able to use it as a way to tell our traditional stories and a more modern way, the part of the culture will have that is 44 status. Leach is the vice independent cinema. It is nerd for showing a diverse range of films that are not typically shown in mainstream system is catching up, was found a russell garage is going to tell us about the magical world of independent cinema russell. I understand that you are based in my book named johannes. Big lie. The move of the form is 10. Yeah. 10 years in moving and we picked up and learned to lot in 10 years and it was a chance to to, to redo that. Whats the meaning is a very loud and vibrant neighborhood and it was maybe just getting a bit too loud for us to successfully execute cinema with a Silver School and studios right around the corner. How does this establishment celebrate and promote local phone make is so much about screenings on local cinema. Weve always wanted to give those not only a run, with lots of members of the public can come and watch, but also people can hire this. And so for me, because can hire to premier their phones and that could be anyone from a 1st time full make a to a big sam c premier, the mit 6 film for example. But we have tried so just always be that see, tempt in local content in every way that we can. Thank you so much. I can hear the passion in which you speak in when it comes to your work.
