2:07 am
it's not just because of the view. you learn so much about german politics and history just by being here in the government district. i mean it's one thing to know how important democracy is, but it's another thing entirely to see it in action. now to barcelona spain to the studio of painter jasmine alicia carter are often buddhist inspired monologues are done in shades of deep red and brown match. because the artist only uses fluid from a very special, very personal source. ready ready ready this is the medium jasmine alicia carter paints with still perfectly fresh, watery dark, crimson red. its blood, her own. this is my period blood and i paint with an after every cycle, the artist prost as her experiences and feelings of the back last month through her
2:08 am
painting. in 2016, she started painting with her own menstrual blood. but she had to get used to the idea 1st. okay. and i really doing this as really weird, you know, like i never see the stuff the or is it i was just having this willingness. so i want to go deep because my parents are just so painful, they have been so painful. i had to get cocktails of medicines to know in the hopes to make a go away, and mostly times it not even the meds could help. and this concept feeling of having to hide them and just not understanding where to put them like it and it was just too much. art has helped jasmine alicia carter. she pains with a brush or with her fingers on water color paper. she collects her blood with a menstrual cup and can keep it in the fridge for several days. when jasmine started painting at age 25,
2:09 am
she had no precedence to follow. so she developed her own techniques. and just as this to live and as it is goes where it has to go in a certain way. and it also makes it a little bit difficult because i need to understand that sometimes it's a little bit more sly. and sometimes it's a little bit more liquid and ready, so i just have to kind of slow, it's been in some sense i sometimes i have to separate more slimy part from the, from the more reddish parts. like it's, it's something that requires a lot of work good and i and i love that. i personally love it so, so, so much the, many of my clients and i'm having so many clause how can i resolve this issue? right. so it has to come with also taking care of your home health. so it's a side effect. so big part of having such a beautiful pigment of blood and to be able to create nice artwork is also in
2:10 am
parallel to have a very healthy room for jasmine, her art goes beyond the personal as a body mentor. she tries to encourage others to get to know their own bodies. she's even founded a movement for menstrual art. but on social media, her work is not always well received. i also receive blackmail. sometimes sometimes they tell me you should never come to my country or will jail you, we will slaughter you like to get really deep into this. it occurs to me all possible ways. everything about the woman is so considered so taboo. breaking the taboo surrounding menstruation is also the theme of an exhibition at berlin's museum of oil. payers shall go tools and the exhibition deals with issues like hygiene products and they're shifting social attitudes towards women's periods
2:11 am
through the ages curator yana vicki. and so now has also created a space for discussion about to ministration. subscript have to them interested us or half of human kind directly and the other half indirectly. you support home and, and what it's about when we talk about menstruation is, in fact, least of all the blood itself is the core of the matter. it is in every day objects, shavings, of topics and discourses and much, much more that we come into contact with on a daily basis. i just didn't talk in greenville and many of the pieces on exhibit come burdened with norms and preconceptions about the menstrual period. artist representations also revealed the ways administrating women are politically disadvantaged and routinely stigmatized. crunch can art, could lift the taboos on the topic and encourage greater visibility on it. is that people in bidding them and also from number 2, it is
2:12 am
a really tough we many society align vx sufficient, a shocking and forces people to ask why? summer reports by menstruation and that's good for jasmine, minstrel. painting is a way to feel more in tune with her entire body. the, the artist is now grateful for the period she once found, so painful and hated. for me bringing period that is something so stigmatized that is something so type of something that like has so much charge for so many people and put it into a context of beauty is so healing on its own and it's, it's part of my message and how i want to bring forth my message into the world through her art, both aesthetic and controversial. jasmine alicia carter turns the spotlight on
2:13 am
women's menstrual cycles and invites people to shift their perspective eating healthily. that's what the so called slow food movement aims to promote it was founded in the 1980s in italy and remains active world wide. but it's committed to much more than just healthy eating. edward, which tv from uganda is leading the charge edward lucida of uganda is on a mission to improve the world with good nutrition for all. i am in writing materials. i'm the president of stuff for the international. my goal is to make sure that each and every human being on the planet has access to and come enjoy would clean unfair for edward mood. she has headed this organization with a snail as it symbols. since 2022. he comes to the small italian town across the movements headquarters several times a year. to me as an african from you,

2:18 am
went to away for bakery and southern germany to find out have you ever eaten one of these and wondered where it comes from? these little wafers are known as communion house or eucharist house and there passed out widely during christian services. well, many of europe's hosts come from this bakery. the family run clump at green southern germany has been making communion hosts for 3 generations. so where does this tradition come from? that's what i want to find out. the bakery located in the southern germantown of austin. housing is one of only a handful of bakeries in germany which makes communion hosts. and it's their only product produced by a team of 5 employees. today they produce $200000.00 wafers per day by machine. in the past, it was laborious. manual labor prof clump is the owner and operating manager of the
2:19 am
family business, which started over 40 years ago. my old father, my grandfather, produced pasto before the war before the 2nd world war. often after the 2nd world war, things didn't go so well. then a monastery in the area suggested that he could produce wayford. that's how my family came to produce, wafers and divine. if i mean, if the family is bound by the oath of communion wafer producers, according to the laws of the roman catholic church, that means wafers must only consist of flower and water. and the bread must also be 11, meaning without the use of leavening agents such as used for there are also blue and free versions for those who are allergic to reach. the bakery delivers to 1500 churches across germany and other european countries. these are still simple or secular way 1st. so can i taste this is allowed outside the catholic church. yeah, they haven't been consecrated yet. so it's possible. okay, so i can try it,
2:20 am
let's say the okay, know how much taste let me just say it's like a scale cookie. and they dissolve in your mouth to find out more about how communion wafers are used in christian religious services. i went to saint joseph church in berlin. we're father, stuff on debowski was holding mass the. so why are the way 1st served here in what do they symbolize? but you can go to steve sting at every church service. we think about what jesus did. 2000 years ago and it said he had a meal with his friends with his followers. and on this occasion, he also used the bread and where this tradition come from. this coming all seemed beautiful. this comes from the jewish religion. the will not enough the jews
2:21 am
celebrated passover and there was also one living to brad to support. and jesus was a jew, so he knew about jewish traditions, and he celebrated pass over with his friends and bred was used to pass the office cuz i, it was, i'm port so then is this unconscious crated or consecrated bread 9? does this or no? this is unconsciously created, now hiding this, the bread is consecrated during holy mass consecrated means transformed. this means that the bread becomes the body of christ and life. christie, receiving the host is at the heart of christian worship. it's a reminder of the words that jesus said at his last supper. take this and eat it. this is my body. back in austin, housing, i wonder, is dwindling. church members in germany has effected production output since a lot of people have left the church, do you notice that production has gone down in recent years?
2:22 am
jago homes, i yes, we've actually seen a drop in sale since the corona virus. so before co but we had, let's say 100 percent and during coping we were down 50 percent. then now we're back to around 80 percent of our production before colbin optic, sports and funk of whatnot said what are the busiest times for you in the yard the the top, the busiest times or during the big catholic holidays like all saints day or christmas going east or below, you know, and then it continues until a corpus kristie before and these are the busiest times the whole thing. but communion wafers are still in the central part of holy mass. and saint josephs, church, even if it's not the holidays, the man who can receive the spread in front bones. we haven't, can we prepare children for the fact that this is a special brand support this, that it's not just an ordinary brand that you buy in the bakery big on long calls that's also valuable. but here again, the priest speaks the words that jesus spoke at the last supper. fees will spend
2:23 am
minutes, mike as well. and that that is why it has been transformed into the body in the blood of christ. this is always how they can. this is not visible on the outside hose outwardly. it looks like a piece of bread of us, but there are also many things in life that can transform you the most beautiful as loves. it's a cd, but i certainly feel in light and i had no idea how much it actually goes into making one little wafer. what kind of food is considered holy, where your from from holy to heat and mystic wind dancing and a club. it can get pretty hot, so why not use this to generate power? that's exactly what a club in the scottish city of glasgow does. we take a look at how energy conversion can work the here clusters help save the environment. one dance move at a time. the w g 3 club in glasgow stores,
2:24 am
party goers, body heat for reuse because these days people want things to be more sustainable. even going out through like when you can contribute to help in lake environment and stuff like full then it needs to be a part of the raven, another 70 the kid plan on this system is called body heat and it turns dance floors. and so many power plants, each person provide some 150 to 450 watts, and since 2020 to the club has been using that energy throughout its venue. e, during the day. the aim is to cut fossil fuel use to 0. we're trying to capture and harness the energy created by heat and gigs are clubs which is store that and use that to heat into spaces or in the van. you're either at that time or
2:25 am
a later time and we're doing that so that we can reduce our energy footprint. august electricity consumption, and then remove gas completely from the venue. ventilator is on the ceiling, absorb the warm air from the 3 dance floors heat pumps, then convey the energy into the yard using the carrier fluid there, it's stored in 200 meter d, polls to be reused during the day. the innovative system is one of a kind david townsend as an entrepreneur in the energy sector and he spent 3 years developing it. the heat comes from the boxes in the ceiling all the way to the bar holes in, you know, a minute or less. but the amount of time you can store the heat in the rock is, is very flexible. so we can, we can put heat in there during the night and take it out during the day. but we can also put lots of heat in there during the summer. and take it out in the winter
2:26 am
. so we knew multiple different length of storage. but how much d o 2? does the system cost and does it really sustainable? so heat pumps operate really efficiently. and so you only need a little bit of electrical energy to do a lot of heating and equally on the cooling sides. so by removing the gas boilers from the heating system, we're saving 70 tons of c o 2 per year. so the electricity comes from the grid, but the venue has signed up to a 100 percent renewable energy, electricity time. so the electricity is full coming from renewable sources, which means in scotland, especially on a rainy day like this is coming from wind energy with a price tag of $700000.00 bureaus. installing body heat isn't cheap, but other clubs are still looking to follow suit. sustainable is really important to everyone just now i know for just the business sustainability of the industry and people really need be looking at higher. they can survive in the future if we
2:27 am
reduce, we need where we need to go forward a. so the beautiful thing with buddy, he invites the customer into that and they don't need to do anything different. they need to show up and they need to dance and have funding, and they're actively contributing to the reduction of energy and those environments . this club in scotland is paving the way and showing that protecting the environment can be a lot of fun. here, excess is good. the wild is a dancing, the more it helps the planet. and with that, we wrap up another addition of your own max. be sure to follow us on social media for more exciting stories from around europe. thanks for joining us and see you then next week, the
