Every day better to be savannah sits at his computer working on his passion 3 d. Animation his self produced bleeps raise awareness for issues like sanitation nutrition and cultural history could not yet improve more to tackle. Such. A signal foodies village my guess. Is tough to see you know that if. You want to see this country im proud to accept you. Living here and change it we can do individually you dont have to be mental in a big company to do it every 100. 00 something indios fees to gradually bring that sheet. I just want to get a. Lot of Political Office a look at the bottom of the. Thing that was supposed. To. Be.

Like we just saw him in the report and now battles funny car joins us from our car gonna have a battle its good to see you so youre currently producing a 3 d. T. V. Series on the challenges facing young people in Rural Communities tell us more hows it going so. Shortly before the series is called and its about. 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 as a people we have left behind in some of the things thats. Being changed because i think ruins of foreign culture so the idea is to go back and take some of these things that we practicing while were doing and make sure its with a new incoming things from the western world and create something that fits so it follows a number of characters and their. Everyday life. In the neighborhood is whats going to help since the. Younger generation people about some of the some of the challenges like education sanitation. Cultural music. Hall its 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. He speaks and with that you get it you can have the freedom to do anything the words do you mean gives you know. Its a very expressive so thats thats why i was on who with and you also use your platform to educate people on the virus from them a card about go during this bundle a guy did some he says when i would say we are in this clear enough period people can. Get. Hours 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 the. Way we did. On how they will look like in there with to come out of the so before the way i have been doing all that after the late they had. So i did. Something they did and we also had some opportunity to know whos on for so when they get to the poor of the virus and be able to do this we didnt really i said in there were a myth that this lot of people would not feel like a Creative Industry is not one to get into of course its very risky and all of that so what do you see you today. Many Young Africans who think the economy gets through a Creative Industry like this one called mention the sense of the creative close now where no one could really need to be a nice in and. Somehow we found a we. This is an area where budding then people had this idea that you could do much in this almighty debt just call and of Something Like the movie but i think the big one is that i mean i feel like its one of those thing is that you can get some months. You probably does be doing it in the hope of the beautiful ok bad. 3 d. Animator thanks for your time. Now while some are working to positively impact peoples lives others are doing quite steal to sit so africa steeds run real ways the passenger really agency of south africa or process has been grinding to a halt its been the victim of intent all corruption and extend all stealing the us nots in called keep balls from the real network and selling develop all metal responds its been christian but as long. Waiting for a suburban rail train after work a lot of commuters and for a tory are getting rather used to 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 Stage 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 comms 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 corporate 19 and people see some of the things that they can steal and say 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 the copper cables are. Taken out of the country by country and then shipped off to asia but the process of self is 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 and the prices in south africa some of the elite in the country have also helped themselves to process decide that the Company Still has about a 1000000000 euros to draw from according to a 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. At the. The theft of cable its really. Only a few trains are running and they are constantly too late hopefully someone replaced the cable so that things will be back to normal again what they 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. Now with these pictures of the bad. From gonna be featured at the start of the show thanks for sharing your time with us ive been out. In free to any kind of surprising news coming out. Some tips for you being in the footsteps of the great. Concerns. The plane trip. For a time you wanted. To marry my friend. Guy to. Germany. Where exactly. It was fun and i am learning a lot of our culture history in. Detail travel extremely worth a visit. 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 mario got there. First a picture they say is worth a 1000 words but how many of those words are lives one of germanys most successful photo artists tomas holds reconfigures photos he finds in order to reveal manipulation a new exhibition holds turns its focus to some of the biggest lies of the 20th century propaganda from chairman maos china. Total assholes new exhibition. At the k. 20 museum in desoto off for inspiration both went back to propaganda sjostrom 1950 s. China. Im always interested in photography that lawyers and they use truly to thats what they were designed to do. Took the pictures from old magazines copied them and blew them up photos of utopia that never existed but for both still relevant today puts the i hope these pictures are a commentary on our times as well on fake news for on top of the images false reality is untrue true more stuff. In a source reproductions you can clearly see the grid from the offset printer used to make the original images and hes amplified the pixelation of his own digital copy data 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. We are incredibly influenced by images and these images can be used to manipulate us. Sometimes the wrong image is for with the wrong text we believe strongly in the visual image but we should be very very careful sort of more guns guns 46. 00. Exhibition runs through. Feb 7th 2021 at the k. 20 museum and sent off. My colleague Scott Roxburgh is here with me and has a real im manipulated form i think as far as you know you know about scott thomas wolfe is part of whats called the Dusseldorf School now for people who dont know what the Dusseldorf School is what is it why is it so important yet the do store school was set up its from the the 1980 s. That they do still are the cademy and it was group students. Following the professors band and who were photography professors and what they were doing at the time is they were going against this sort of experimental photography at the time and they develop a real minimalist style theyve shot a lot of industrial sites and they would often pick a single theme like a water towers and then they would shoot endless photos almost identically shot and identical banner and this style had a huge influence on the lead there were dozens of really world famous because they came out of this under his grossly could do the hall for Thomas Thomas ruth and on and on and on and when 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 like a piece of art and the influence of the schools been tremendous i mean some people say its the most influential art movement of germany. 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 shared do you think that. Our work can help us understand i think so because i mean he really you know so so the sausage is made what 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 youll see original image he shows us the negative of it so that the the colors are reversed you cant quite see what is happening with what who the people are and makes you question what im actually seeing here whats real whats not but also i mean his his colleagues under his gursky also of the do stuff 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 took it out he just took it out until kirsty does now is the he takes these images and he creates them in the computer thousands of different images puts together a computer i mean crazy beautiful images but it also 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 art teaching us how to be critical of what they do so much for coming on the show. And staying with photography french algerian photographer Mohammad Atta boy who has won the deutsch of brose a photography prize worth 30000 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 brewery sons 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 al porns 9 trumpets and 4 to fill 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 ringing out from the tops of tower blocks in the poilus neighborhood in the east in german city of johnston. The idea for a rooftop concert came to the director of the in for nicole 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 if i did 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 Office already agreed. Souls took place at a different location to ensure the concert was a complete surprise. Is a professional musician the alpine horn is one of her favorite instruments. As intertie from me telling us its 3 and a half meters long and its made of wood. All the instruments can be that long to trombones for example on the hives but one thats made of wood is really very special the wood makes the vibration unusual. To their lives. The performance began. Ground level the orchestra and its directs that were keen to draw in the locals as much as possible. Livens up the neighborhood. Its a sort of mini call it so it sounds grange. 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 paulus which was specially composed for the event. Im really happy and with the sunsets and the lovely lights its been wonderful. And judging by the responding applause the locals agreed the orchestra is now planning a series of roof top 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 broke or even jokes hell soon be choreographing over the phone but hes not there quite you. Can. Be. Some of the time and the living is easy it gets hot in this old machine shop thats been repaired has does a studio by did go to a Dance 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 diversity there has been for 20 years of. The ensemble is rehearsing for the upcoming premiere of believe in c gershwin do you love gershwin that will take place in chuck got in early october before going on tour in germany and italy an evening with George Gershwin a composer of whom it was once said he wrote rhythms for Fred Astaires feat a perfect fit for the don since then. But however familiar the music 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 as choreography. And dance you have to take risks darts is often too polished too cozy or its tedious i see that with the younger choreographers and i always thought you need to make room for a bit of craziness in dance. And this in bonds and oftentimes lost. The evening features just one had to do its only a lounge 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 marco whose work tends to be dark sinister absurdist is sounding unusually cheerful. And yet these days the attitude is come on life isnt that difficult its a gift being able to do this. At a time when the whole mint says remain few and far between any piece remarkable does indeed feel like a gift.
