A vision to full future collaboration and artistic expression. Today, a 30 is on auto group studio has become one of the largest print making facilities in south africa. Now before i delve deeper into print making, which by the way is one of the oldest forms of odd if get straight into what i have for you. On todays show, we travel to gun and i to see how traditional clock is used and the latest the must have fashion pieces. We find out how working long hours and starting at the bottom of his cross was worth it was this just as if meant following his passion and laid, say in johannesburg, one artist moves of seamlessly between phone art and photography. Im fabulous. Tiger and youre watching at re max, who ah, ah when allow for blame . Turns into not just a successful business, but also a way to honor the designs and dawning chives on the pot blades. Find out how this female lead company from ethiopia makes the magnificent jewelry. The significance of this were your necklace piece is quite interesting in the olden days, in the one low region. This was a gift for bright t v. As a honorary gift africas rich and diverse cultures, i experience through many creates of endeavors, as you re, brad based in addis ababa, ethiopia tells organic african stories by drawing inspiration from the continent and bringing awareness to youth narratives and history with the refined modern african designs we know that there was lack of knowledge about africa in a positive light. We wanted to do something about that and what better way to do it then a, a wearable storytelling piece. 2015 as when the idea came. Ah, when my co founder of partner saddler and i met for coffee, we were both friends since i school. And we had moved abroad for our higher education. I had decided to move back to yoga and we started discussing what was our experience living abroad . What was our takeaway from that experience and also the love of jewelry that we both shared. So with that conversation is what today is the any so one of our design piece that tells on them pick it up in story, is the doors a mostly practice by people in the south. Whats interesting about the story is these were warriors that turned peaceful artisans. Once the country was at peace and united, they no longer needed to be war. Then go fighting. So they transitioned into becoming artisans and creating these masterful pieces of design that they became expert, that all of the jewelry is made from recycled from play to the 1400 gold rhodium responsibly, an ethically thought ethiopian semi precious james stones on hand crafted by artisans in ethiopia, the reason we started with, if you as a home base is because both my partner and i are born and raised here. So we know the local craftmanship, the resources that are available, and dont have that platform to be shared with the world. For instance, gemstones that we for the letters that we source are all from women on businesses, just so that we can create that exposure for their business and also for us as well to learn from each other. This metal frame right here is traditionally used as an air pick for people to come in your ears. But the interesting part of this, while were doing Research Behind the piece, was that in the old in these, the window region. This was a gift for right to be either honorary gift and theyve got to wear it as a necklace on a single thread. They would wear the different kinds of european they have and that showed the status of the family and their well. So when trying to decide what type of color we want it for this dont we went for something thats between another night and a car marine, which is the crystal crisp that you see right here, which is a great complement for the gold is not overbearing or overshadowing and it goes very well with any skin tone which we have to keep in mind who are audiences our p. P. O is known to have significant deposits of it. Eat 9 different him. So the semi patients came. So you may have come from one of the only female mines in the country. Pensioner machine, im not used. And so its done manually like what that is highly likely that the show was damaged if museums on her until coveting ano. Yeah, so i will use manual labels like the surrounding areas are predict a big dingo truman decor and was joined. Going to be broken. The tacoma the business is borderless and operates entirely online. The conceptualization of each design takes place and video colds between philly, kid sibley and they collaborate of all around the world. They ensure that the history is maintained in each piece through consulting with historians. With dazzling to we pieces honoring south africa, ethiopia, every trio kenya, and many more unique stories are preserved for an eternity. The way we approach our designs is by selecting a country one future and bring up the cultural and heritage aspect of that country. I believe the rest of the world is looking towards africa now, is because theyre realizing how much wealth there is and was always there, but never had that opportunity to be shared. And i think its a movement thats happening is not just the one time fave. Thats happening is an Actual Movement where people are really believing that we need to invest in ourselves. Majority of the designs. If we look back in the history, there is a lot of inspiration that was taken from african the 1st place. Now when were looking in words ourselves, were also forcing the world to look and words with us. Line know, cutting is a way of creating art using linoleum to cut out the arts and print it at a later stage. With me as print making artist times comalla. Hi tandy. Thank you for joining us today. How do you get to print out more than one color . That must be a complex close there. I am 9 because i it is all good because it opens up your mind and allows you to be clear. Lets you play and explore. Because in art, you have to explore people. When im a product, if you do not have iron, dryly expressed yourself. My to put so you can have multiple currently claim it differently it because in printing, defend lidiam down many are for they are very brought to got poor. So there is live dog as line or the screen. It does a ching you have to start with the drawing and then you go to the plate and the page is the negative that goes to the, the machine and the machine gives you the best product. So the linna is the play, so the leno is the plate that we use so that you can get the proper and finished product of the art product of the attribute. You speak with so much passion and love for your work that i really want to get straight into it and start creating art. Im about to receive a mazda gloves on this fascinating way of art. But before we do that, we joined justice mckelly, whos artistic expression cannot be limited to one medium. Its check this out. I think its africa creatively because we now have a voice and we can contribute to the global conversation. As equals, the internet has created a space where the access to dialogue, the access to participate in the spaces that have been inaccessible to us because of the country of context and history. I used to call myself a re nathans man, because when i found out what the word men could relate to it, because ive got to many times so my telephone creates, have adjusted smoke. Kaylee is off the new generation of african storytellers. He moved comfortably between the mediums of photography and fine art as a self titled renaissance man. Someone who has mastered many different skills justice, understand the african way of storytelling, and brings it to a modern audience. Do these different mediums to convey a strong, a social message . I started throwing in the primary school. My dad drew a portrait of my brother and i sitting with him listening to music. And when i saw that, i found my dad can do the if i can to don and can get into the shelter just to look at me. Did graffiti then at the design that went into direction. And then i went to photography and photography brought me back for painting, which is part of drawing and photography brought directing. I find that the references that i prefer using and i feel more connected to our photographs that i create. I can spend some time with the model if the object creating images that are fine on photographs that are also used as my references for my fine art paintings. The most important thing to me is not continuing it in style, but continue to in feeling without the limitations of being expected to create sameness. Justice. Have an odd studio in the popular shopping and office the things 40 for stanley and johannas bag. Here he spends time working on drawing and paintings that gets sold through Art Galleries that he is represented by internationally. My big picture message depends on where i am at a certain point in time and why i am in this certain point in time and looking into masculinity and really looking at where do i have been that story . So much work has been done by the generation before us that we have the luxury to look at how we want to prevent ourselves as men, their paper and duty for their generation to fight for our freedom of the people. And now that we i feel like looking at how we are, its really important the challenges, the world filled in regards to masculinity is an issue that is caused by men. And we should be the solution to that. Not that people that are affected by our wave. Thats where i am with my work at the moment. Justice moves so fluidly between mediums that he has become a very thought after creative in south africa, especially in the advertising space. My primary careers filmmaking. So my film director i love it so much because of the one medium thats able to bring all my disciplines into one. And i can create feeling and more beyond just a painting where photograph, but on create, looking for a certain outcome or hoping for people to feel a certain way or just hope that the work can make them feel however they feel justice is not just talented, but incredibly passionate. His dedication to his craft is evidence in his continuous striving to expand his skill set and evolved into an even better story teller, by reaching the audience through the formats that speak to them most africa, as the continent was colonized and the new ways were introduced to us without us being included in the conversation. Its very important to read, define who we are in the world with our own voice for our own people. That we would present ourselves as how we see ourselves. I am key to africans, lieutenant, because my experiences are important. My position is unique in the world, but i am definitely not the so t, i am part of the people that are contributing to the global conversation of who we are. I am in the heart of Artist Studio where the magic happens. Now this type of printing on linoleum pieces was me popular by auto, such as Pablo Picasso and hindley mathias. And today a, were going to get straight into the action or how everything happens. Tandy, im ready to join you. So can i grab this . Yes. Oh, i see paint, so i need to. Okay. I want you to teach me everything. Ok, i have a great rest of it. First thing 1st visit is inc. Let. Okay, use to build to put it in a plate so that we can get an image. How do you select what colors to use . Because i see already have your color selection. As i was saying before, with, as i was saying before, the, when you make an image, it depends on your concept as an artist. So you have to know what message you are telling the following the audience. The people are your idea. So your color has to present the message that you want to convey, so it becomes easier for the audience to connect with the art calling of to me. Art. Ok, great. So i, you, i would assume that youve already created the art because you said you draw 1st before you actually start painting, i would correct. So this is a love the plate that to use aluminum. And so this one is the draw on top of the sleep. First less its gonna be playing when you buy it, you place not. Oh, so this is an entire drawing that the you made. Yes. Ha ha. So thats amazing.

You place it down like this, then you and has brought me the end, like a puzzle. When i could a chair, what type of paper is this . Or this one is for brianna to edify. So that the tier to face the grims. Ah, its a bit bigger so that when you print it, polls like enough ink. Youre not only do you have to be an artist, but you have to be strong. That if you put you dont put the bought, the paper is going to be like this. So hold the site and then immediately the site and then slowly is a foreigner. Yeah. Come. He put it. Yeah. Wait. Task loud. Oh this, oh, it looks absolutely amazing. Thank you for inviting us into your world. This has been such an amazing experience. Nothing like ive experienced i am with you.

So were going to go to my se me no j j to see what this master chef has to offer. Check without a 25 year old martino. Jetta is a master of his craft. His Signature Dishes are famous, even outside mozambique capital map. Udo. But my salinas passed the world of what queen was hardly straightforward. Initially he been to family pressure by starting an engineering degree, which taught, motherly, not just one thing. He really wanted to become a chef salad papers. I was no longer going to school basically. And i really didnt have the motivation to go anymore for school. I started to feel a little bit depressed, deploy, and it wasnt what i wanted. I go korea with mozambique economy, growing high school graduates, encouraged to pursue academic degrees to leaving their a passport to a better life. So much lenas parents took some convincing, not even his partner. Andrea was on board at 1st. I give me some english, she lost rubbish by him. And with those thoughts into our heads like it, thats not going to make money that you have to be a doctor. You have to be an engineer. And so one, so even i had doubts. But at the end of the day, i saw how his eyes lit up. Every time he talked about cooking, healed in the fall of the cities. In january 2017 molina traveled to italy where he took part in a year long course to become a kitchen and pastry chef. He started at the bottom and worked his way up, but it was anything but smooth sailing. Considerable, i dont know, but i started working at bell p r 2 and in the beginning it wasnt easy. Its another dynamic really good work on a t. M returned home at mine 10, 11 pm. My, my to was good because i realized even more than yes, this is what i want. Mm hm. Key. Okay. This fight is impressive. Qualifications muslim says chef like him on oil given the recognition they deserve. And his home country, warmer the food such as well, the biggest challenge of being a chef in mozambique is social recognition provider allies ition that its a real job and he demands a lot from the cook. And its not just one cook, its a team, maybe just to make one dish. Its very hard and precise what go wont want what it says from kitchen and turned to head chef. All it took was some hard work and a dash of risk taking martha lino once again proves that if you find something you love to do, you will never work a day in your life. Its all the guy know with friends of a different kind. As the traditional math clock and traditional fabric prince, i given a new look why this talented designer and her tea with i used to be big on going to the, as my kids soon found artifacts and general art stuff. And i saw much cloth, and it hits me that i hadnt seen it being used in clothing. It was only pools and ball hangings and thoughts and stuff like that. So the big idea became protecting our textiles through modern designs. Oh, a rama. Money cutter. Supreme child threaded tribes has seen unprecedented success. Not as 20 locals love to be seen in one of her creations. For, for youngsters as far flung as paris and buick. Her thread is a must have passed the ball into pioneer. She worked whole week up into the Success Story she is to day with the designs i, we me, we are very intentionally curious that because were not into class fashion. Our brand is very slow here. So we make sure that they need, as i only make customers, are able to reuse the desired multiple times as opposed to having one abstract fees. I become barely where anyway, so our designs, i just intentionally made with the idea that the are close as the fall, where basically building a community of axes and then look how craftsmanship and saw all our resources. Take 1000 breaks and every being our source from the local communities for something i believe he really runs through our entire process from fabric sourcing, where it ends up with the pieces that we end up creasing. They really have nothing to do with the traditional meanings of wherever we pull the fabrics form is some of the textile itself and the fact that it comes from assessing community and as indigenous the name thread. A tribes refers to a technique of carefully hand woven cloth with patents and symbols all coming together beautifully. Litzy the weaving process of katy from gonna. Well, its me, my a did. Im able to create simple and complex designs with this settled. However, the designs are often memorized and about the doug brown lever allows me to tighten the thread, the to why to leave this in a combination brings out your desired pattern where it will minimum i could think of as a single lever will. However, we give you just the plain real hobby on it, which means no design for we need to know or mark on it to this installation was in manuel and so repass will finish in pulling the contraption while you through the spool rhythmically to get the intelligence weight on, you know, we grow, oh, wow. Or thing. It is important that the fabrics or textiles come from the original source mud cloth that we use comes from molly boley or indigo that we use come straight from cordova and in ghana. We use hulu and can say so far, the food comes directly from the Northern Region and they can see comes from the south, which is kumasi. And in the future we aim to really use text us across the african continent. So for example, if a goes, if you have here and we find velvets, we will pull bill this form, which ill come in to see is condescension use involve it. And then well pull that to make our clothing. Ill insist this and news changes to luxury. Investing in and where we locally produced hand woven fabrics.
