How and i fear design, brightens up public spaces. Im, i did submit the, and this is after meg. Oh, oh. The price and colorful kind of material comprises of anything from illustration to abstract originating from east africa. The fabric is culturally significant and was also given to a woman on this occasion. Fashion design that the read must be got as a model that kind of telling a compelling story through her. She creation i just look at nature, nature, never. Can i be yellow . Can i grow a bit taller . You know, so its just like the universe decides in nature. During my she cries, one of the most recognizable residents of the island of zanzibar profession brand of the same name is inspired by for healy culture and the sights and sounds of this Beautiful Island that she calls home. Loads unless some 2 days i will buy a sample. I love them maybe tomorrow or the day after. I can come and pick the rest. I decided to set the wood, sheik in the hardest stone towns. And because number one, its home. Number 2, its american ford of different cultures, and its been actually this ascend where i really draw my inspiration from either from local people or even tourists who visits Beautiful Island van to buy the land of many contrasts old and the new traditional and modern coexists side by side and nonchalant hominy. This wonderful island is the perfect backdrop, the doings vibrant and colorful designs. I always look for those 3 thing, history, culture and heritage. And you will see that in our designs, that we use the very famous fabric known as conga. Conger designs always uses the mode of communication in the past. And even today, you would see that, you know, theres some congress, as you saw, that you know, some of them are quite fast, you know, and some of them have words of encouragement. For example, the congo that i was actually working on today has something to say about, like, you know, its talking about, hoping that this will becomes peaceful. Thats really sometimes about the moment we represent africa to the world by assuring that we stay true to the textile and its origin and weights comes from. So for example, you see in our design would keep the wording of the congress. And it brings back, brings the conversation wherever i go, because 1st of all is for healy. And people ask me why do have these words and i tell them what it means in our culture. In that its used as a mode of communication, especially for women. Because in from pipes of my society, women can be very vocal. So when you have a message on the congress, its a way of maybe telling something to your neighbor or your husband or to your mother in law. Doreens designs fair as signature island feel. They are light breezy and a wash with color and print. They pay bold homage to her african roots. I can tell the story of zanzibar in fashion. So you would see that sometimes we would incorporate some handwork. That is very popular here, youd find it maybe on the fisherman boss kit. And i also take color with me, but i also take the congo print with me and express it where its on the born and raised in times the near doreen machine lead to spend time in switzerland studying and working. She is now part of a going home bound African Diaspora actually started from switzerland where i used to work in private banking. And i was involved together in a team that was into luxury good. So was already exposed to the designers, the west, and we went to milan. I had the chance to meet that time, the creative directors of good, she you know, and all the sessions in okay, lets try and fold this very quick and see what it looks like. Because i always like to wear my clothes like i just stay with short sleeves. Its very hawkins. And of course, the patent mixing part of unexpected colors is the most effective part of design effect is to me its fun and simple, but i can understand that to others is complicated. I would really like to percival inspire more and more people to be very bold and go out there and do what they want, whether is fashion or ours. But we would like to make sure that we have a wider footage in the continent. And of course, also around the world, re imagining spaces and turning them into playful, provocative architecture is what you get. You, laurie specializes in inspired by his childhood stories and nigeria and ruth, we caught up with him to take a look at his recent lead. This colorful installation is called implants. We trust the work of british nigerian designer inca laurie can be found in london, may fair district. He laurie had a mission i wanted to throw in chris, so it was a safe space, visible reflection meditation using plants and green greenery. So come here, sit down from conversation, reflect, read whatever you want to do, but just been around in our green space, the london and loves working with fried, vibrant colors. His installation called happy street in southwest london. Brightens up a gloomy space under her railway bridge. He wants to bring more positivity to dull urban spaces. When i create an installation, im in the steed or is it its my ive only shop at work when it goes into his face. It does belong to, in, in what belongs to the people that they are able to kind of in a crate, their own narrative. And they are the fabric of that war becomes, of that one of one of the community. And also it kind of gives those people sensors you know, belonging and was successful proud of their environment. Hes produced countless installations for Art Galleries and events like this playground for adults during the 2019 con Film Festival link is always bursting with new ideas. As one will not walk in the public work, you know, just us, well, i like how it is so on and why locked in most because i get to sort of design and leave it and then just seen peoples reaction to reach this point. Inca, the son of nigerian immigrants launched his design career in 2011 when he reinvented 2nd hand chairs giving them a multi colored make over. Much of his work is inspired by the stories and west african fabrics from his childhood. Returning his kind of is based around of who i am, i think as a kid over, always full. I was living with 2 license, you coaches in a british much urine and, and i love both got both with coaches, but how do i celebrate . And i think the best way will thing was to do it through furniture. So take those narratives that i was kind of, you know, told while i was young and i love talking to, you know, re tell them in my own way. I jumped up these crockery designs in 2020 during the 1st quarter in a virus locked down. My obsession of colors is Stephanie Salinas been narrative to my mom and dad. I was wondering when my mom, where did she get her . Inspection of california was the oversee from her mom because thats been passed on to to mom. Ive run his passions, me. Hello. Just yes sir. Is something thats just yeah, it makes me for positive and good positive feelings in the urban jungle, whether by day or night in laurie makes london more colorful. And that is something many appreciate oh, the latest addition to the ever id read gallery is this impressive building. So we are close over into the streets of tourism. Im here to me is, is mark to find out more about this wonderful space. Ah mug. What arts of discreet said, i and i never knew it easiest name to remember talking to you because yeah, exactly. Nursing, well, just to a slightly Bigger Picture is the way the world works for me as a contemporary adina is that sometimes i chase artists and sometimes they find me and where i and if its in some strange place between the 2 and that ive been aware of his work for a long, long time with quite frankly, was too nervous of it. Much of the yeah, yeah. I can understand why his subject matter sometimes is extraordinarily tough. And i thought that was probably an area that would be best undertaken, but of the galleries. But i kinda decided years ago that no, that wasnt the way it was going to be. He was going to come here. And so finally, towards the end of last year, he said these come to my studio and destro hanging in the studio. Ah, and i sat down in front of it as i still do with the 3 here. And i was rated speechless. And i said i, i get it completely. You need to show in this building, he wanted to show in circuit circuit this, they should structure is really good for pushing powerful objects. Concentrate energy on, on central objects on big why fi to this particular one . I think that, ah, not only what we perceive as being a cool, contemporary art and whatnot. Art is a, is a window into the soul of any nation or culture. If you look at the ancient greeks, we know how they felt and we know what the se through that, ah, its the same as with the addictions. We know more about the egyptians through the art that they created by fall than any other medium and all the way through the renaissance. We know about the tragedies, the fell nation, such as the demise of spain as a world power. Because of the artist like el, greco velasquez, we know what it was like to be. A french person in the court of louis the 14th through the arts of the error ought is more than de cool. Part is a very clear window into what the people feel about the country, whether its the sense of confusion with confidence, authentic pleasure, all of the above shows in the, in the us, in all day the contemporary off of south africa. In your opinion, why is it important that space is like this . This is a special building, and we very careful about the program here. Its not a, its not a factory where we have short shows and lots of them. Exhibitions on for a long time here, and we try and have it as a distilled collection of what we perceive as being the front rank painters and sculptors of this year in south africa food a great atmosphere. And i think its design what walk with us for one of your new. Spots is doing it all and adding kind of us into the mix and then well take on the journey to show everything that is experienced. Take a look. This is definitely the place to be welcome. Tonight, robi 5th kitchen. I located in the heart of kenneth capital in the western neighborhood. This unique face is much more than just one of the must experience. Places in kenya is no real big kitchen. It much. Some of the best known she could concepts from across the world, into a thoughtfully curated local and social wouldnt. Ruby soup kitchen has done is it has Brought International food and drinks to our doorsteps. Not only making it accessible, but also creating a love around international and exotic food options. I am unwilling remarks and i will be telling you exactly what the hype is about and why you should be visiting this beautiful state. Come into the opening in june 2021. This would market off as a variety of treats both for the eyes and the pilot. Welcome gave me your last name. He said, but before i have the food, i have to take us. They will be still kitchen style. I am now going to meet pfizer who is the general manager at their kitchen and also one of the brains behind the conference. So lets go. The unwelcome today will be did you think you are making Revenue Growth . Yes, for sure. For me, so far, so good. Outside the cooler. Yeah. Come in to see what you were in. What is the market section . Now . Kitchen is the brainchild and project and then from now i will be elliana and lisa and they had a vision to create something here. And i will be, that was an offering to this vibrant, beautiful color for you that we live in, moving in a less formal direction. So thats why we have 7 different streets with market concepts, which of us so service in the, in one says its a way to interact with people who are 7. Were not talking to you about how weve tried to of cycle recycle, reuse materials. And what weve created in the face. So this all can be, we found it behind and go, you know, im the 1st object here was another story for another day. The margarita can be, its an old volkswagen bus hubs. Go to an old, my talk to local is in an old 150 leyland, but that we food from the industrial side of nairobi. If you see the bars covenant who uses cosette fees yet, another thing that we have tried to do in the creation of nairobi, she could do is to make this space and the building more than just food and beverage, but also a platform for the as you come in the space which is a designated gallery for artists. You can come and hung pictures. Im thinking this building should be able to develop those things of a space where artists have an opportunity to really, really feel hungry up to so much i need to time to go back to shift that we have our very own specific bid on the beans. I love the, the normal p 1st. Its normally coming over shift to different that it from the rest of the people. How long have you done this . By the way, ive been doing pizza for the last 7 years. For this bit though, we use our cream out cream cause its basic eloquent gallic do some. Well that i let you do the muscle the bit that takes me 5 minutes. It will be good. Thank you so much by my company to try this enough. Now we can get the special truffle done, get ready . Oh the i dont think id like i didnt think id like to leave to but after the love is fine with that many definitely guys my conclusion for an escape, its worth a visit especially can you like to explore something new the grey play, right . Thats all said art is not a mirror house after 5 the but rather hammer with which the shape in like many of the pieces. Yeah. How much this away so south between tradition and the contemporary world through tracking us with most of them to pick think the growth strength and transformation of cause. The title of my work is one to 3 block myself. It comes from a game, hide and seek, basically, we to play when lead my maternal grandmothers house. My name is cow, cow, mass, im a sculptor primarily but a multi discipline. Limpopo born and raised in signing. Com as as a contemporary artist specializing in sculpture. She depicts religion, culture and identity through her work. From the big tribe, she merges the mud and with the traditional and works exclusively through the symbolism of the sacred cow. My name is actually call, hey, know much about my c low birth given name. My mom you can call me call call when i was younger. So the car port kind of back to me when i was all that decided im going to go in with the call. Later on, i realize the spelling of the o. W was a problem because im a female and naming myself call even though it had nothing to do with the theyre all good. So connotations that i put on the call. Nobody could call me back because i was a healthy called in. And the spots on my face didnt matter because cause of body and the size of my family. No. Didnt matter because the big nose. But it was also my question to reclaim the name and evidence my own. So i fully embody call. And after doing that, my experience and being in the world, calling myself call, that kind of fizzled into my art making. What stands out for me is this how prominent that is within our practices, within the slaughter family gatherings, bringing people together. And the most significant being the how the call is the bridge between the ancestral plane and our through cow, metaphors, common prize to situate herself between tradition and the contemporary world. She creates these is listen, they take that and cultural words to combine in various fabrics. To me i have been working as an awesome supposedly just under 10 years now. I think it started off as a longing to be more connected to the culture. So i pulled from very talented objects that out of my grandmothers house and things that reminded me of home. And in essence, reminding me of my culture as well. So we have a saying which means god with the with nose. And for me, i think that embodies just how powerful the car is within the, within our culture. All my processes are very made pizza. And the meditative pod start before the actual sculpting or the putting to get off the work. I use a variety of materials, but pacific league, synthetic cow, hides the various Synthetic Fibers in the beginning. It was because i felt that i was removed from a cultural space. So being a go that grew up in the suburbs, it felt as if i couldnt use a real cowhide because im maybe not as connected to cause as my cousin who lived in the home. And i think that now this is derek materials to developing, influencing of showing how culture transforms and how it isnt stagnant, even though the potency of it is kept and the ritual of a discount. There is a change that happens that has been the thing with the times by exclusively using black and right as a color palate columns to innovate black from negative color perception to take his rightful place as an affirmative color. In my work i use that a lot. The other for me speaks to a very gender and part of the call. Not only does it represent the old providing this of the car and how it all is giving symbols, a woman right to only giving or is expected to at some stage. This is a new me and ive recently started learning how to use a found out during, during those that my grandmother used to make met using a type of machine. And somehow it connects me back to my culture and the ways that my grandmother used to do stuff. How the techniques in her works and meditative mrs. Are a means of self contemplation, healing and finding a sense of belonging. Her pieces have rich african history. And each piece tells a great story. Recently, her modern and contemporary recreations have attract the international market. Good. Im at an i rock scepter park, where i have displayed the specific work was in response of the title, Good Neighbors. And what the idea of Good Neighbors is. So what came to me was a memory of my grandmothers house. So with a call comes back again into the idea of the slaughtering. That happens. And the function is happening when your neighbors come around and everybody gathers within the same household. So i have this vision of the cow skin hanging on the, on the washing by and at the back of my grandmothers yard. So for me that was almost as if the skin is capturing the images of the whole environment. And each, each watching binder presents a family. And in that way, representing neighbor plex to each other called mattias work forms part of the realm of existence. The washing lion tends to be quite a public space. Theres Something Interesting and exploring what is a common space versus a private space in this morning to my work as well as my physical appearance, or is that big both tie in together in be own version of a culture that is told there. But just inspired by culture, but also there within itself. Most african cultures continue the expression of cultural believes through the odds. African odd has played a significant role in shaping the culture and history of the world. How much is getting her word internationally recognized while staying true to her baby .
