Special edition of africa i am sundra to no deal here in kampala uganda and we need today is my colleague in nigeria hi new to a. Year i really like this subject of nature and the projects i will be looking at today well all started before the pandemic for many of the ideas i especially powerful in this time i mean spirals to love and look after our environment lets start with everybody whats coming up on the show today. I mean german i disagree sure how often i get checked out can link up not truly with their surroundings then you design trend conquering your own natural materials are good successful new creations. And music is said to be the language of emotion and its getting people in ga not to think environmentalists protection so hard. Now in which we conduct arts the use of possibility based on the standing of the environmental huge someone here stanley and they do have a clear answer to this and i dont argue with basting they have this science uses creative skills to remind you money since it can for the environment with music poetry photography and paintings he speaks to the younger generations in a long way to they can relate to and proves that the art of powerful medium for conveying the message on mother earth needs to be luther lets go see this i saw. Letter. I didnt go to any air for joy. All the trees trees trees trees cut. Stanley i need to is an artist on a mission and paper and paint and not his only weapons in his fight to protect the environment. Is also a singer you really need to listen to his songs focus on water and drought the felon of trees air pollution and the loss of africas animal population. Its a cool for others to take responsibility but not everyones a funk. Favorite people weve got politicians not so much interested in these things because the actual abridged against the practice is sometimes telling them not to use force if you dont want to from stanley any to spending time in nature drawing is both relaxing and inspiring but these works are hard to sell so the artist has come up with new techniques to make his chosen subject a success the f. And animals sketched with a reflective pen when it comes to Environmental Protection stanley sets an example his way instead of brushes he uses different colored light bulbs light out and the magic begins at strands ition from green and healthy to the Alarming State that it seemed today captured through the lens of a camera. Usually a painting done with oil an acrylic on compass should take a couple of hours to a few days depended on the size and ill be considerable waste this is done in just a few minutes and there is no waste. When you use things like or you paint just to dispose it to either and they do or end up in the environment so this helps us mileage are pretty tools which our actions in our environment that its invested gives us the appeal that we expect to get from god this isnt how stanley ammeter used to work a graduate of fine and applied arts he painted like regular artists with oil on campus has made over 300 pieces using his new method and now sells multiple copies of each piece around the world the current virus pandemic has given the Natural World some much needed rest pite stanley any to has watched the changes with the amazement the air quality improved want amazingly wonderfully and whats the music quality has improved tremendously so i think if it favors the environment that we should get locked up for what. He calls his show that we act killing ourselves by ourselves like a Stanley Anita once the rest of the world to pay more attention to the environment he believes in the power of art to bring about change right now i think if we have time we have the opportunity to make a difference lets says lets make the changes so that our children know what would be great for no said the brits for protecting this environment. Stanley any 2 will not stop painting and recording new songs audiences love his music and it gets a lot of radio and t. V. Airplay maybe one day people will just listen to take action to. Are uncalled for i have always taken much of the ration from nature certainly paying for it sensing out what they are even and for our people groups whose culture on way of life highlights human rights dependence on the environment.

If you look at the animal its massive and can provide a lot of meat it can provide a lot of the same terms a blanket the students use a blanket and there is also a fence they use it for cooking they use it for and they use it for cleaning themselves the. Doctors they use it also for another purpose and my t. O. S. Works as a guide and to quote you son culture and Education Center in terms of fun time near cape town its the 1st center dedicated to sun culture in south africa. The traditional hunters and gatherers are an Indigenous People in Southern Africa their ancestors lived here when the dutch reached the shores over 300 years ago the rock art they left behind emphasizes the sons deep connection to nature. The dominance of the european colonialists massive land loss and assimilation have marginalized the group today there are only about 150000 people in Southern Africa who identify as sun working at the center my tears as colleague. Has learned to appreciate the beliefs and traditions of her people whether its any more it is. It is the way of living there i learned so that you can keep your culture so that you can. So that the one thing you can tell. From that community.

My teohs and his colleagues have already achieved a lot his message about the environment is clear use it sustainable or keep it for the next generation this is what we want to lead and. Sustainability and Environmental Protection a message that has been passed down by the sun for generations.

Very nice those lifelike sculptures will inspire people to protect the lions living in the wild in fact there could be an idea in there maybe if we bring more of the Natural World into our homes one have more incentive to take care of it it turns out there quite a few designers out there walking with that goal in mind they make every day job. In most homes using materials but very own Mother Nature lets have a look at what some of them have come up with. There is something of the sea in the air these lampshades are made of dr seaweed stretched over wire frames. And fish scales have been worked into the top of this small table. People think it might smell but it doesnt because once its dry so we close on the smell and just look like fish scared london based designer. Sand for his desert storm lamp red cabbage for the intricate things of his veggie lights and seaweed for the marine light lamp shade. The native israeli has been experimenting with natural materials for years you find some of his materials at the Produce Market i grew up close to the sea in israel and they love like a love going to the sea as i was a child and i was trying to experiment in different materials coming from the sea and seaweed was always something that those things can be interesting to work with. And i just started spearman thing in towns up into doing denmark. And then. Started his Design Studio in london strangely so how kariya. He sells his pieces and limited editions to private clients around the world. I think people are more willing to accept the fact that you can have like lamps or other products made of this kind of material we think whats happening in this world is making people understand that we need to start using this kind of material instead of artificial Material Plastics i hope so that this kind of material. And become something very common as i dont want to very much benefit to the environment. Designers the world over experiment with natural materials.

For more control so in so many ways its one of the best i think sustainable houses surrounded by a labyrinth of plants most of which are endemic a dream come true for mesquite i am the diggers underneath but this is what it looks like tenet is often dipped into coffee and this plant has strong medicinal virtues.
