00:00 So our visit...
00:02 Good morning, good morning.
00:04 Good morning, ma'am.
00:05 Good morning. Here you are again.
00:07 So we invited all kinds of artists, from designers...
00:11 Just press that button.
00:13 Yes, it's this deep sense of community.
00:15 So we have artists here.
00:17 Hi.
00:18 And how are you? Nice to meet you.
00:21 So how long have you been here?
00:23 So I first moved in here when it was a homeless hostel in 2003.
00:28 And then Angelique gave me a home a few years ago.
00:33 So I'm back here as an artist.
00:35 It's a building, a street, a place.
00:38 The most amazing arts community I've ever experienced.
00:40 I've had a studio, it's a whole creative network.
00:43 So everybody sort of bands together.
00:45 It works.
00:47 I've seen some very interesting oils in.
00:50 So you work with all different...
00:52 I use thread and scrim, but it's mainly oil paint.
00:56 (singing in foreign language)
00:58 Thank you very much.
01:06 About 20 years.
01:08 You've worked in different places.
01:10 Yes.
01:11 I worked commercially for seven years at the Boudichi.
01:14 And then I went...
01:16 We see the characters come to life.
01:20 This is so much Jones.
01:22 I think they've got Ringo.
01:24 Ringo and...
01:26 And George.
01:28 Are these sort of dolls?
01:30 So some of them have to be...
01:33 Hello, how are you?
01:35 Very nice to see you.
01:37 Are you trying to get a play to go on?
01:39 (laughter)
01:41 By any chance?
01:43 Thank you, ma'am.
01:45 So this...
01:47 (inaudible)
01:51 So this is called Yibe Yoruba culture.
01:54 The Yorubas have a belief that families that have...
01:57 Three traditional techniques, hand painting,
02:00 applique and stitch for the Chasu Dao show for you.
02:03 That's brilliant.
02:05 (inaudible)
02:07 Here you go.
02:09 That's what keeps me going.
02:11 Yeah, me too. It's tea time, isn't it?
02:13 Nothing like a cup.
02:15 (laughter)
02:17 (indistinct chatter)
02:20 (indistinct chatter)
02:23 (indistinct chatter)
02:25 Could you just look at the picture for me, please, ma'am?
02:40 Would you mind?
02:42 (indistinct chatter)
02:44 (indistinct chatter)
02:51 It's a pleasure to meet you.
02:53 Thank you for visiting us.
02:55 (indistinct chatter)
02:57 This is the special gift, magical, created by me, by the Queen.
03:03 So I'd like to make fantastical Queen goddesses.
03:06 I present to you this little gift,
03:11 by which to remember us by.
03:13 Thank you very, very much indeed.
03:15 As I said, I'm very embarrassed at the moment.
03:18 I feel being sort of a monkey artist myself.
03:21 I'm extremely jealous of all the sort of multi-talents you all have.
03:27 I've heard quite a lot about this place,
03:30 and everything I've heard is completely true.
03:33 So I hope I'll come back again.
03:37 Yes, please, do you ever want private classes?
03:40 You can take my class.
03:42 (laughter)
03:44 Very silly.
03:46 (laughter)
03:48 Cut.
03:48 (audience laughing)
