PROGRAM OVERVIEW

With the advent of globalization and increase in communication and cultural exchange across the world, notably through the mass media as well as the social media, the world has become more or less a global village. However, one of the negative effects of globalization is the absorption of weaker cultures by stronger ones. For this reason, the task of the African to stay afloat culturally in the global marketplace of cultures becomes even more daunting than in the colonial era.

Furthermore, the term “beauty” is relative, depending on values, religious views, cultural background and material preferences; hence what is considered as beautiful in one community may not be seen as such in another. What, therefore, is considered as beautiful in the African context? How can Africans give more visibility to their values? How do they make sure that these beauty and aesthetic values do not get missing in the ocean of global cultures?

The Crystal Beauty Show is a TV show that aims to encourage reflections and initiatives through demonstrations and interviews on the creation and valorization of African culture and beauty. It is hoped that this will help give African beauty and aesthetic values a more competitive place on the intercontinental cultural scene.

Program concept The Crystal Beauty Show is a talk show designed for all audiences, focusing on aspects of beauty from an African perspective. This dwells mainly on aspects that make social life more beautiful in the African urban milieu today. These aspects include fashion and designing, modeling, interior and exterior decor, beauty makeup, hair styling, cosmetics, and general entertainment. The show also seeks to teach, inspire and entertain viewers across the globe, giving them a positive experience on aspects of African beauty concepts, thereby promoting and upgrading these concepts on the international scene. This is done through interviews with specialists in various domains and through video reports of practitioners at their various places of work. There also are intermittent incursions into African hotels and restaurants with an eye on the outstanding qualities of the interior and exterior décor.
