| Artsworld - Borneo's music revival - 30 Aug 08 - Part 1 |
 |
Artsworld visits Kanid, a teenage band who
are reviving ancient songs and confronting
ancient taboos in a thoroughly modern manner
at this year's Rainforest festival in Borneo.
The Kanid group from the Kelabit highlands of
Sarawak in Borneo formed a few years ago with
the aim of conserving long-forgotten songs
and musical traditions.
The revival of these traditional songs has
reignited the community's pride in their
cultural identity.
Plus, bridges and flyovers in run-down parts
of the Egyptian capital are becoming unlikely
venues for underground art.
When one man set about cleaning up a
neglected space beneath a Cairo bridge, the
area was transformed into one of the
country's most successful independent art
venues.
Part 2 (also available via YouTube)features
South African writer and performance poet
Lesego Rampolokeng plus an arts project at
Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, UK, that
aims to steer inner-city youth away from
drugs and gangs and help them realise their
potential as artists.

Artsworld features South African writer and
performance poet Lesego Rampolokeng, who is
known for being outspoken on sensitive
political issues.
With the recent xenophobic attacks in South
Africa and election violence elsewhere on the
continent, Lesego has no shortage of
ammunition for his sharp tongue.
Plus a top London art gallery, famous for its
collection of Old Masters, believes art can
help young people turn away from street
crime, gang culture and drugs.
Dulwich Picture Gallery is offering
youngsters from tough inner-city areas the
chance to discover their potential as
artists.
Artsworld reports on one teenage boy from an
unsafe part of the city and what it means to
have a safe place to paint.
