All the time and you know we used to do a lot of growing up but now it has phased out and the idea for this is to be able to be kids coming generation on some of the things that the people we have left behind and some of the things thats. Being changed because of. Foreign culture so the idea is to go back and say some of these things that we practicing what were doing and maybe its with a new and incoming things a lot of the western world and create something that fits so it follows a number of characters and their. Everyday life. Style in the neighborhood is what is going to help since they. Are going to people about some of the some of the challenges like education insanity send. Cultural music. Hall or even. That we had as a people are you feeling that. New using is there somehow becoming a very Good Platform to use to educate people when you create practice. These beats and with that so again you can have the if you dont do anything what do we do you mean gives me you know. Its a very expressive so thats thats why were with and you also use your platform to educate people on the virus from that make out about go there in this bundle a guy did some he says when. Were in this clear enough period people can. Get that and i was this is that they will create this thing that its kind of funny but then its also a serious issue so i took them all. On how they will look like in there with to come out of the so before the way i have been doing all that. They had. So i did. That. That was something they did and we also had some opportunity to use on ads for so when they did kids you poor virus and would be able to do this we didnt we i actually live a myth that this. Lot of people would not feel like a Creative Arts industry is not one to get into of course its very risky and all of thats what you see you today. Many Young Africans who think the economy gets through a Creative Industry like this one called mention the sense of them of the creative close now where no one could really need to be a nation and. Somehow we found we. This is an area where budding then people had this idea that you couldnt do much but recently this almighty debt just call in of Something Like in the movie if i think of one of the i mean i feel like its one of those thing is that you can get into so much. You probably does be doing it in the hope of the beautiful ok that. 3 d. Animator thanks for your time they deserve it. Now while some are working how to positively impact peoples lives others are doing quite steal to sit so Africa States run real ways the process really agency of south africa all has been grinding to a halt its been the victim of intent on corruption on external stealing the us nots in coal pocky polls from the real network and selling develop all metal correspondence increase in victoria as well. Waiting for a suburban rail train after work a lot of commuters and for toria are getting rather used that on this road there are only 4 trains in the morning and 2 in the afternoon and the reason for that you can see it over here people have stolen the copper cables thats why at the moment only Diesel Locomotives can operate here. And the state railway line process has to rent those locomotives which comes at a high price up to 2000 euros per locomotives per day process only locomotives khans be used because most of them are run on electricity which would normally come from the cables which are now. Theres a problem of unemployment in the country generally that has been made worse by covert 19 and people see some of the things that they can steal and as an opportunity for them you know to put food on the table 90 percent of the people that are arrested on cases of london ism and theft. People who are not south african nationals right and. Information is that. Taken out of the country of neighboring country and then shipped off to asia but. Also partly to blame as is the corruption that has been going on for years the mass left of copper began after Security Service companies were lets go because their contracts had been illegally awards as in many state run enterprises in south africa some of the elite in the country have also helped themselves to process despite that the Company Still has about a 1000000000 euros to draw from according to its spokesperson and that would be enough to fix things the cool thing is that money is there we just have to build capacity in 10 so that we are able to spend that money that means a system of checks and balances so that the my. He wont be siphoned off or illegal contracts wont be mates yet those still suffering are the commuters themselves and pretoria would take the train because its the cheapest mode of transport for that. Before the train was nice but the only problem is. The. Media after 15 minutes i think because. The people. He will. Be the theft of cable its really hit us hard only a few trains are running they are constantly too late hopefully this will replace the cable so that things will be back to normal again when the want to buy with that. Process has now hired 3000 security personnel theres not much left to steal. And thats it for now on the program if you want to. Just go to. Africa. With these pictures of the bad guy. Gonna be featured at the start of the show thanks for sharing your time with us ive been out. And on demand. Language courses. And or you know. W. Media sector. How does a virus spread.

Ford slash science. Welcome to arts and culture the roofs are alive with the sound of alpine forms. A new socially distanced musical work fills an entire City District that concert coming up and. Channeling janis joplin a preview of the latest dance works also socially distanced by choreographer gaga. But 1st a picture they say is worth a 1000 words but how many of those words are why one of germanys most successful photo artists told us holds reconfigures photos he finds in order to reveal manipulation in a new exhibition hall turns its focus to some of the biggest lies of the 20th century propaganda from chairman maos china. Thomas wolfs new exhibition tevye at the k. 20 museum in descent of for inspiration wealth went back to propaganda photos from 1950 s. China. Im always interested in photography that lines and the use truly to thats what they were designed to do. Took the pictures from old magazines copied them and believe them are photos of a utopia that never existed but for both still relevant today puts them more often i hope these pictures are a commentary on our times as well on fake news or on the images of false reality is true true more stuff. Come in of course reproductions you can clearly see the grit from the offset printer used to make the original images and hes amplifying the pixelation of his own digital copy bad by emphasizing how the camera lines. In his press plus plus series also part of the exhibit cliff takes press photos and prints the info from the back of the photo on the front. In doing so he creates a montage is that comment on how every image we see has been manipulated. From we are incredibly influenced by images and these images can be used to manipulate us for sometimes the wrong images for with the wrong text that we believe strongly in the visual image but we should be very very careful about sort of more guns going for through for an. Exhibition runs through. February 17th 2021 at the cape 20 museum and sent off. My colleague Scott Roxburgh is here with me and has a real unmanipulated form i think as far as you know this was you know about thomas scott thomas as part of whats called the Dusseldorf School and now for people who dont know what the Dusseldorf School is what is it why is it so important yeah they do start school was set up its from the the 1980 s. It was at the art academy and it was a group of students. Following the professors of band and back who were photography professors and what they were doing at the time is they were going against a sort of experimental photography at the time and they developed a real minimalist style that shot a lot of industrial sites and they would often pick a single theme like say water towers and then they would shoot endless photos almost identically shot and identical banner and this style had a huge influence i mean there were dozens of really world famous bars i came up with underaged girls who could do the hall for Thomas Thomas ruth and on and on and on and what i think unites them theyve all done different types of work but i think what unites them is they all look at photos as made objects yeah so a photo isnt something you capture you cannot capture in reality its something you deliberately construct you deliberately make it like look at piece of art and the influence of the schools been tremendous i mean some people say its the most influential art movement of germany since bauhaus and that it really helped elevate photography to be respected at the level of art you know akin to painting ok im talking about photography image manipulation coming back to thomas wolfe we are living in an era of image manipulation and everywhere we work implications are of course huge do you think that. Our work can help us understand i think so because i mean he really you know so the sausage is made like he shows exactly how he manipulates his. Photos and i think that helps understanding that the photos are being manipulated all the time i mean in this new exhibit he does have some images where he takes old photos and doesnt show us the regional image he shows us the negative of it so that the the colors are reversed you cant quite see whats happening with what the people are and if you question what im actually seeing here whats real whats not but also i mean his his colleague. Also of the do store school he does something a bit different but also in the same vein of this shot which is ryan to his most famous photo it looks like an ordinary landscape photo but the originally there was a big factory there that he moved just to get out he just took it out and he does now as he takes these images and he creates them in the computer thousands of different he just puts them together computer i mean crazy beautiful images but it also libya it always gives you the message this is being manipulated dont necessarily trust what you see you know the cameras are actually always lost so it is our teaching us how to be critical of what. They dont know much for coming on the show. And staying with a target the french algerian photographer mohammad a boy who has won the dutch of birth a photography prize worth 30000 of british pounds for his work on class and racial tensions the prize was awarded for works including photos of marginalise youths from the outskirts of paris and polaroids shoplifters originally taken by a shopkeeper in new york. Now the chair of the jury called bruces works a potent examination of the mechanics of power and their effect on disenfranchised communities. Income neighborhood in Dresden Germany became the stage for what has to be one of the most impressive. Concerts yet the sound of 16 outpourings 9 trumpets and 4 tubers filled the district with a new piece of music designed to be played from across different apartment towers now the composer even built delays in the music to compensate for the sound lag between the towers. The sound of Snowy Mountain tops but these alpine horns a ringing out from the tops of tower blocks in the poilus neighborhood in the east in german city of justin. The idea for a rooftop concert came to the director of the in fornicate orchestra over a year ago while he was walking past the 700 story high rise as. I noticed the great similarity to a mountainous landscape with steep canyons dividing the buildings. And i had the idea that musicians could stand on the rooftops and communicate with one another as it were. Much to his surprise the local housing officer he agreed. To place at a different location to ensure the concert was a complete surprise. As a professional musician the alpine horn is one of her favorite instruments. Listen to a cry from me telling out its 3 and a half meters long and its made of wood. All the instruments can be that long to charm bones for example but one thats made of wood is really very special the wood makes the vibration unusual. Match with. The performance began. Ground level the orchestra and its directs that were keen to draw in the locals as much as possible. It lives up the neighborhood. Its a sort of that mini concert sounds great long when i get my hands im a music fan anyway and i like seeing new ideas Outdoor Events all performances that involve residents. The highlight of the day was the rooftop performance at sundown of the peace skies above pulis which was specially composed for the event. I think im really happy and with the sunsets and the lovely lights its been wonderful. And judging by the wrist sounding oppose the locals agreed the orchestra is now planning a series of rooftop concerts in cities across europe. Well thats one way to keep making music through a pandemic social distancing is also big right now in the dance world which is seeing more solos than ever choreographer marco broker even jokes hell soon be choreographing over the farm but hes not there quite. Some time and the living is easy it gets hot in this old machine shop thats been repurposed as a studio by big company these days because of coronavirus restrictions choreography. Has to stay outside only a few people are allowed in the rehearsal space but despite the unusual circumstances everyone is happy to be working again and dances dont expect things to be easy at the best of times. Its all a battle against the versity has been for 20 minutes at. The ensemble is rehearsing for the upcoming premiere of believe in c. Gosh when do you love the will take place inched up got in early october before going on tour in germany and italy and evening with George Gershwin a composer of whom it was once said he wrote. Rhythms for Fred Astaires feat a perfect fit for the dunces plan. But however familiar the news it is but there is some a time sun by janis joplin all the jazz influenced rhapsody in blue it takes on a new character when its used as a backdrop for mark will go because choreography. And dance you have to fight risks dance is often too polished too cozy its tedious to us see that with the young choreographers and i always thought you need to make room for a bit of craziness in dance. And bits in bonds and oftentimes last. Evening features just one had to do its only allowed despite the restrictions because the dancers live together anyway. After months of lock down the dancers a thrill to be back doing what they love most social distancing or not. Even Michael Gurka whose work tends to be dark sinister absurdist is sounding unusually cheerful. And yet says these days the attitude is come on life isnt that difficult its a gift of being able to do this. At a time when performances remain few and far between a new piece for a market does indeed feel like a gift.
