Girl to become the youngest german competitor abseil lympics. Swedish christmas man here but the swedes traditionally like to play the holidays. But 1st we need an artist who creates beautiful and be witching mosques had name as mysterious as her artworks damsel frau for her it means having 2 contradictory sides and putting on a mosque is a bit like putting on another self lets take a peek behind the mosques off the london based artist. Is it tribal art folklore a sham on the trappings or a combination of all of these. And who is the creative spirit behind the masquerade. My name is Morgan Health canada im in a region artist living in london and i work with masks. It all began in 2007 when martin held kennedy alias the damsel from now moved to london she sewed her own club outfits and soon added the masks she taught himself how to embroider so and adorn clothes some of the masks only took her a day to make others she worked on for years. I dont know where this one is going it will probably turn into quite a different looking thing at the end of it again its kind of the thought system not not plan i dont draw i dont design. Work with the materials and dont sort it out for me. She calls the masks on the shelves her gang and they do seem to take on a life of their own even getting individual names as soon as theyre completed. This one is called a rule it was initially to me quite broke so like. The name comes from that this guys a fairly new one. Which was difficult to get to i just have these materials that i really want to use and it wasnt communicating that well to me its hasnt got a name yet he might not be finished im not sure this ones called venture are. Window i just want to try this square formats a mask that is outside the mask. Mark annealed kennedy gets inspiration for her masks right outside her door in londons east and. Londons been an important part of the work it is very inspirational it has people from all over the world it has material from all over the world. And theres a freedom to how people there are and how they live their lives. Which is a very. Strong influence. She often returns from her strolls with something shes picked up somewhere. Her studio is like a treasure trove. When i buy lemons and limes i keep the net common but that will be useful. Old sorry ribbon and trimming. There are some things i found at the carpet some things i go and pay lots of money for this all came out of a dumpster up the road kristoff good ones as well these are fruit bags from the sixtys and theyve been laying around so i didnt know to do them and i just had this hunger for color and i popped into all my colors and just made these kind of simplistic but clear. And in my head futuristic color exercises. Once shes finished a mouse she snaps a photo of herself with it on and posted on instagram under the moniker damsel she has over 100000. 00 followers. These are objects there are physical things and they have their own. Life. Mocking the old kennedy carefully composes her mask photos she never wears the mask or any other occasion shes happy when others get creative with them and musicians artists and photographers are thrilled to do so. A young woman in the next report doesnt wear a mosque but rather a helmet thats required and her daring sport defines us as a skateboarder in fact a very talented one had a chance to take part in the summer olympics in tokyo its looking good and the most amazing part is shes only 12 years old thats made the german with kid. I. Mean skateboarding is on the one hand something i want to do professionally and later on earn money with. On the other hand its just my hobby and i have fun doing at. Least a facias is germanys best skateboarder. At the tender age of 12 shes a 2 time german champion now shes heading for the olympics and wont let anything knock her off balance. Money sometimes i go to the skate park and the boys look at me funny because im a girl. But i dont let that bother me at all let me jump in here. Young berliner trains up to 4 times a week. The 1st time you were just a tick faster. If. Youre going hotshot is a German National skateboard coach and louise mentor he pushes her to test her limits. Us but that was a trick that takes a little bit more daring because she didnt always make it much but now shes practicing the trick on the next level and thats exactly what you have to do to get better fast today because we have. Her father oliver is always on hand hes been skateboarding for over 40 years himself. He started lily and her little sister torah and skateboards when they were just a few years old at 1st it was just for fun. If we said before all i knew was that it was a hobby or sport that i had lots of fun doing was one where you can express your creativity and of course i didnt want them to miss that at the start nobody thought it would develop in the direction of a competitive sport they could have also said no i just want to take the skateboard to roll down to the bakery was so comfortable small scale. But now. Alicia facias is sliding from one competition to the next and on to the german championships in dusseldorf. She still goes to school but is on the road 3 or 4 months out of the year. Thank you thank you gosh and inside and in china in the usa ive been almost everywhere in europe and its fabulous because you get to see almost the whole world just as one that is eager to sleep skateboarding will be an olympic sport for the 1st time at the 2020 summer games in tokyo so this coming ever closer to her goal of taking part. As a bow piers i european standards shes one of the best and by International Standards shes right where she needs to be to qualify for tokyos so its definitely reachable for her mother just as fizzy do it was tough. Thanks to both the interest in her to reach new heights if she ends up going to the Tokyo Olympics then aged 13 shed be the youngest german olympic competitor ever. Both if i qualify id like to be able to enjoy it and not feel like i have to make it to the top 10 or something. Else in 4 years when im 17 i might qualify again and then maybe i could start thinking about bringing back a metal. Plate so im going. To decide should caution cation phase begins in february then once again the early stuff osseous will be spending more time on the road than in school fortunately the Tokyo Olympics will be held during the summer vacation. Lets hope that lilys dream of qualifying for the olympics will come to.
