Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin + (Professor Dr. Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin wa … Professor Dr. Brigitta Hauser-Schäublin was born in Switzerland, namely in Riehen near Basel. There she spent her childhood and youth. Her father was a tradesman running an international import-export company and furthermore took part in the local politics. Hauser-Schäublin had an early encounter with the topic of gender when being confronted with the female role in society and the difficulties for women to study. In order to take different directions she moved to Zurich when being a young woman, did several internships and took language classes. She also lived in London for half a year. After her return she started an apprenticeship at the local newspaper in Basel to become a journalist. In this period Hauser-Schäublin also undertook her first journey to India, an experience which had a huge impact on her. When returning to Basel she not only worked as a journalist and finished her high school graduation but in 1969 also began her studies. After a brief phase taking courses on Religious studies Hauser-Schäublin focussed on studying Anthropology and Sociology. Alfred Bühler and Meinhard Schuster were among her teachers. In 1971 Hauser-Schäublin studied in Munich for a semester and after her return also took up an assistant position at the Ethnographic Museum in Basel, combining her growing anthropological knowledge with her skills as a journalist. A year later she joined a research project founded by Meinhard Schuster, regionally focussing on the Sepik region in New Guinea. Hauser-Schäublin took part in the expeditions and collected data on gender aspects, a work that 1975 culminated in her graduation thesis.After graduation Hauser-Schäublin fully took up her work at the Ethnographic Museum in Basel, organizing a various number of exhibitions while trying out new conceptions as well as working in the public relations. She moreover did further research projects, e.g. on house-building in Papa New Guinea. In 1985 she completed her habilitation thesis. She gave academic lectures at the University in Basel and also worked on the Ethnographic Collection in Fribourg.After being a visiting professor at the Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology in Cologne, Hauser-Schäublin in 1991/92 became a full professor at the Institute for Cultural and Social Anthropology in Göttingen, being the successor of Prof. Dr. em. Erhard Schlesier. There she not only gave various courses (e.g. on Gender and Religion) but also started to restructure the basic uni lectures. Furthermore the Institute joined the Department of Social Sciences. Her own scientific focus shifted from an early interest in Material Culture towards a closer look on theories and discourses. At the same time Hauser-Schäublin emphasized the importance of field research and did several of them herself, e.g. in Bali, Indonesia and Cambodia.elf, e.g. in Bali, Indonesia and Cambodia.)

Richard Winkler + (Richard Winkler dream of a utopian world w … Richard Winkler dream of a utopian world where man and nature were tightly integrated. and then he woke up in it.Richard, how did your upbringing influence your artistic style?During my childhood, I spent a lot of time with my grandfather, whom I admired. He was enormously talented in drawing and painting, and we spent a lot of time together. He also took me out into Nature, where we walked for hours, and he taught me everything about flora and fauna. He was a great inspiration, and he showed me how to draw and how to appreciate and love the natural world around us. During the same time, I had to spend a lot of time in hospital in order to undergo many surgeries to correct the growth of my bones, as I was suffering from a rare bone disorder. This created an early awareness of the physical body and its limbs. It was fascinating to me when the doctor measured angles and the length of my bones, and how he could open up my body to correct those after drawing lines on my limbs. In summertime, I usually spent a lot of time playing in an old garden and plant nursery near my home, forgetting all the pain I had to go through the rest of the year. I loved all the greenhouses, which were full of exotic plants and trees such as banana and orange trees. It was hot and humid, and I could smell the plants and the soil. This world was magical and full of energy and fertility. This was life, and life wanted to flourish. I often dreamt and fantasized about exotic and tropical worlds where my soul was happy and free, a kind of paradise where you picked fruits from the trees, and life was free from troubles. My early childhood drawings often depicted tropical landscapes with exotic colourful birds and animals.What was your initial impression of Bali, and how did it inspire your art?When I first landed in Bali, I discovered the world I had been dreaming about, a kind of Garden of Eden full of life and colours. The tropical nature was alive and amazing, and the soil so incredibly fertile. People were friendly, and everyone seemed to be able to talk about art and aesthetics. And everyone seemed to be creative in one form or another. Bali was full of life, colours, details, sounds, and smells. It really appealed to all my senses and made me feel incredibly alive. Even the ground was not stable and moved sometimes.I loved the passionate rains and thunderstorms, which were so intense and powerful. Life itself was at maximum in Bali, and I couldn’t feel anything but very alive. I loved it. Over time, I found lots of inspiration in the traditional life at the rice paddies, in Nature, and in markets. I love the simple life of man and nature, tightly integrated. Perhaps it’s still a dream in my mind about a Utopian world free of pain and sorrow. But it’s a beautiful dream, longing for peace and harmony in one’s soul.Can you describe your creative process and how it has evolved over time?During my time in art school, I became more and more fascinated by the human body. I spent countless hours drawing from life models to study the forms and lines of the body. I was especially fascinated by simple lines and how they cut and overlapped each other. I eventually started to play with these forms, stretching them and deconstructing them to my liking, a little bit like an orthopedic doctor rearranging the bones and limbs. The body doesn’t need to look anatomically correct to actually function and feel right. The important thing is that it feels good and works correctly. That’s how I construct the bodies on the canvas.Do you see Bali as a colourful Utopian paradise?I might dream about this Utopian paradise free of pain and sorrow and full of life, love, beauty and harmony. But of course this fantasy world doesn’t exist in reality. Wherever we live, life will always be life including everything from tears to laughter, and that’s how we grow ourselves and our characters. And maybe that is the real beauty and goal of life itself.s the real beauty and goal of life itself.)

Memargi Sareng-sareng, Prajaya Gunungan Leluu Nuju Bali Resik Riwekas + (Stepping Together, Conquering the Mountain … Stepping Together, Conquering the Mountains of Waste towards a Sustainable Clean BaliOm SwastyastuThank you for the opportunity that has been given to me so that I can contribute to voicing aspirations at the Wikithon Oration.Dear the jury and the BASAbali Wiki team, as well as all the happy readersAs we know, soon we will be faced with the 2024 elections. Elections are an important moment in our democracy. This is not only about choosing leaders, but also us giving them the mandate to overcome various problems facing society. Answering the topic raised in this oration is "What is the most urgent problem to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders?".First of all, we cannot ignore environmental problems, especially since Bali is known as Paradise Island because of its natural beauty. There is one thing that in my opinion really needs serious attention from potential Balinese leaders, namely the waste problem which will soon be over. Bali faces big challenges in waste management because the system is inefficient so it is unable to handle large volumes of waste. This situation was further exacerbated by fires that occurred at the Sarbagita Suwung Regional Landfill in Denpasar City, the Mandung Landfill in Tabanan Regency, and the Temesi Landfill in Gianyar Regency during the dry season, causing environmental damage and negative impacts on daily air quality. This problem is not only a local issue, but also an urgent reminder for us to take action because it impacts many aspects of people's lives. Therefore, the government's presence plays an important role in handling this case.I am sure that so far the government has always tried its best, but Bali's leaders must then improve and re-examine the preparation of a strategy for handling potential waste that can be investigated from the roots to the end. It is important to note that the success of a waste management program is very dependent on existing infrastructure and technology. If waste management plants, landfills, or recycling facilities are inadequate, then the program may not produce the expected results. The success of the waste management program is also closely related to the level of community participation. If there is not enough awareness or support from the public in waste scanning, recycling, or waste reduction, the program may experience difficulties. Apart from that, policies that are inappropriate or unable to overcome the waste problem can become an obstacle. Sometimes, unsupportive policies or weak implementation can hinder program effectiveness. Prospective Balinese leaders must have a clear vision about how to protect and preserve Bali's environment for future generations. Prospective leaders, Bali must have a concrete action plan that involves economic, social and environmental aspects. A thorough evaluation of the waste management program needs to be carried out to identify core problems and adjust the strategies implemented. Close collaboration with various parties is the key to creating holistic solutions. Senuma's active involvement, parties, including the government, private sector and the community, will ensure environmental sustainability in Bali for future generations. No less important, awareness of the importance of recycling and reducing waste needs to be instilled more deeply,Thank you to Mrs/Mr. Candidate Leader, Bali for your attention and cooperation to make Bali clean from mountains of rubbish. Let us all work together to be agents of change for a clean Bali.Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Omclean Bali. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om)

CHEF DAIJIRO HORIKOSHI + (TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a maste … TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a master artisan who has devoted his life to perfecting Kaiseki cuisine.Chef Daijiro San … with respect you don’t sound like any ‘normal’ kind of Chef to us … what’s your story and how did you end up in Bali? Did you train in a Japanese kitchen, and did it involve years of internship under a Master?I am the son of the third generation of a tempura restaurant located in Osaka. The restaurant had a 62-year history before it closed. My grandmother started the restaurant, and my mom took over before I eventually took over from her. I ran the restaurant for over 16 years, and in 2012, I moved to Bali. When I was 13 years old, I had the opportunity to travel with my stepfather, who was a Native American leader from the United States named Dennis Banks. We travelled to 23 countries around the world, and this experience exposed me to different cultures, religions, and people. When I decided to move to Bali, it was because my wife had a dream of living on a tropical island. We wanted our children to have a global experience and learn English, so we chose Bali as it offered a mix of different cultures. It was the perfect balance for us, and we couldn’t find it anywhere else in the world.Tell us first about KOHAKU, and your journey to making edible crystals…Although I don’t have a pastry background, I grew up in a traditional Japanese environment due to my grandmother’s influence. She was a geisha and introduced me to various aspects of Japanese art, tradition, and confections. When I moved to Bali, I missed Japanese sweets, as they were not readily available, so I started making Japanese confections on my own. I never thought about turning it into a business until a friend suggested it. Together with another friend, we started the business, and my wife encouraged me to pursue it further. That’s how our Japanese confection brand, KOHAKU, came to be.How does this relate to cuisine in Japan?Kohakuto, which means ‘amber sugar’ in Japanese, has a connection to Japanese tea ceremonies. Japanese confectionery has always been closely associated with tea and tea ceremonies. The tea ceremony involves not only tea but also meals, and it holds a deep relationship with Japanese cuisine.There are two types of kaiseki, one for parties and the other for tea ceremonies. Both have a connection with tea and confections. So, the idea of creating edible crystals relates to the long-standing tradition of Japanese traditions.Why does Japanese cuisine appear so different and innovative to Westerners, compared to more traditional styles, like say classic French, or Italian? Should the Old School be more innovative?I don’t see a big difference between Japanese cuisine and other traditional styles like French or Italian. Each cuisine reflects its own history, culture, and region. I don’t think one is more innovative than the other. It’s difficult to answer whether the old school should be more innovative because innovation is subjective. What may seem innovative today might become traditional in the future. As chefs, we are always learning and trying to create dishes that make people happy. We focus on making something good rather than just being innovative. Our job is an ongoing journey of learning and creating.Where does innovation go too far, and when should we recognize and respect classic cooking practices?From my perspective, innovation goes too far when it becomes disconnected from our everyday lives and focuses solely on being different for the sake of standing out. Some chefs get caught up in trying to show how they are different from others, losing sight of the true essence of cooking. It’s like we lose our direction and wander aimlessly. Whether it’s in cooking or any aspect of life, we need to take a moment to pause, reflect on where we stand, and look back at our past and the processes that brought us here. It’s essential to respect the ingredients we use and show appreciation to everyone involved, not just for the sake of being different.Tell us about Takumi, your restaurant, and the inspiration behind it.Takumi is a restaurant where we currently serve Kaiseki-style Japanese cuisine. We offer a choice of nine-course or six-course degustation menus, and we will soon be launching vegan courses as well. Our focus is on traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine. The inspiration behind Takumi is unique. We are not simply importing Japan to Bali; instead, we are creating Japan here. We utilize the amazing local ingredients available in Bali and Indonesia, embracing the wealth of flavours they offer. As a Japanese chef, I incorporate Japanese culinary techniques and strive to express the true essence of Japanese cuisine. Additionally, I am passionate about training young chefs in Bali, sharing my knowledge, skills, and the history and philosophy of Japanese cuisine, in order to elevate the level of Japanese culinary expertise in the region.Why is great service such an important part of the culinary experience?Great service is crucial because it enhances the overall dining experience. When customers pay a significant amount for their meals, they should be able to enjoy them fully. It’s important to create an atmosphere where people can feel happy and comfortable. The emotions and atmosphere in a restaurant can significantly impact the perception of the food. Service acts as an additional spice that complements the dishes coming out of the kitchen. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the complete experience – from the moment guests enter the restaurant until they leave. We aim to leave a lasting memory and ensure that our guests have a truly enjoyable time at our restaurant.Who are your heroes in the world of cooking?Although it may sound cliché, my heroes in the world of cooking are my grandmother and my mother. However, my true heroes are the young chefs working in the Takumi kitchen. Each of them brings their unique experiences, which I have never had. Their willingness to learn and their different perspectives make them admirable and worthy of respect. These young chefs are my heroes because they challenge themselves and strive to become respected in the culinary industry.What knives do you use?I primarily use a small petty knife. I don’t have a specific brand preference. I own several Japanese knives, but my favourite is the small petty knife, which I use for personal use at home. I don’t typically use large knives in my cooking.What’s the most exciting new ingredient you are incorporating into your food?Well, every week brings new and exciting ingredients to our kitchen, even if they are the same vegetables we’ve used before. Each batch has its own unique qualities, and that’s what makes it thrilling. We have conversations with the ingredients, exploring their potential and listening to what they have to say. When they arrive in the kitchen, we greet them and get to know them. ‘Hello, my name is blah blah blah, who are you?’ We might say to a red radish. It’s a delightful way to engage with the ingredients and understand their desires. Do they want to be a sauce, a garnish, or simply shine on their own? We listen to their aspirations and help them become what they want to be. It’s the chef’s job, and it’s the most enjoyable and exciting aspect of our work.What motto inspires your life as a chef?Well, I’ve touched on this in previous answers, but it’s a question worth pondering. As a chef, I find immense joy and satisfaction in working with ingredients and creating dishes. It’s the happiness and fun that come from this process. There are many people involved in the culinary world, from suppliers to farmers, fisherman, and even drivers. My motto is simple: I want to make people happy. I strive to bring joy to others through my creations and my work. It’s not just about the guests; it’s about everyone who is connected to food and to me. I want to contribute to a collective happiness and create a positive impact within this circle. As a chef, I am just one part of a larger ecosystem, and my goal is to make everyone in this circle happy.IG & FB: @kohakubaliwww.kohakubali.comIG: @takumibaliFB: @Takumi Baliwww.takumibali.comkumibali FB: @Takumi Bali www.takumibali.com)
Peralihan Potensi Lapangan Pariwisata untuk Mengembangkan UMKM + (The Potential Transition of Tourism Resour … The Potential Transition of Tourism Resources to Develop UMKMGreetings, Om Swastyastu, Assalamualaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh, Shalom, Namoh Buddhaya. Goodwill and peace to all. We express our gratitude and thanks to the One Almighty God for allowing us to participate in the "Provincial Bali Oratory Competition" with the theme "Bali Orates" and the topic "2024 Election: What is the most pressing issue to be addressed by Bali's future leaders?". In this regard, we present arguments focusing on "how the management of tourism, by harnessing the potential shift of employment towards UMKM, can coexist with the progress of tourism for Bali's future leaders."Post-Covid-19, Bali is assessed as unable to rely solely on the tourism sector as the sole backbone of the regional economy. Serious resource exploration is needed so that Bali has a number of alternative sources of economic income. This consideration is essential for Bali to withstand crises and global challenges. It is an opportunity to organize and pay attention to the development of UMKM in Bali, potentially redirecting the economic base from the tourism sector.The negative impact of the current tourism sector chaos in Bali stems from arbitrary behavior by tourists towards the Balinese people. Bali's residents are disturbed by reprehensible actions by tourists, whether permanent residents or just visitors. Examples include religious desecration, inappropriate behavior in sacred areas, disturbances in public areas, land grabbing from Balinese residents, and various other disturbances, all of which have a detrimental impact on the lives of the Balinese people.The government of the Bali Regional People's Representative Council (DPRI), a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-Perjuangan) faction, outlines several potential economic resources that can be seriously explored in Bali, including agriculture, marine, and creative economy sectors. Strengthening each sector, he notes, will contribute to economic equality in the Island of the Gods.Recognizing that UMKM are a sector capable of sustaining Bali in times of crisis, support for regulations and education for the empowerment and protection of UMKM is crucial. It is emphasized that diversifying beyond the tourism sector is essential. Chairman of the Bali Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), Tjok. Oka Sukawati, sees this as a significant moment for Bali's UMKM to learn from other UMKM, especially those outside Bali, fostering innovation and product quality development.In response to Prof. Ramantha's statements, Ny Putri Koster, as the Head of the Regional Craft Council (Dekranasda), considers her actions as part of her responsibility to bridge UMKM with consumers. She builds synergy with relevant government agencies, such as the Bali Provincial Trade and Industry Office.In conclusion, we hope that future government candidates prioritize programs in the UMKM sector over tourism, yet maintaining attention to Bali's tourism. This oration serves as a reference for future programs. In closing, we express our gratitude. Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om, Wassalamualaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh, Shalom, Namoh Buddhaya. Goodwill and peace to all.Namoh Buddhaya. Goodwill and peace to all.)
Program KIP ring Kabupaten Bangli kari Salah Sasaran. + (The Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) is also cal … The Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) is also called the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP). This is the Jokowi government's first program which is part of the Healthy Indonesia Card (KIS) and the Prosperous Family Card (KKS). The Smart Indonesia program aims to increase access for school-age children from poor families to school. KIP is a card intended for poor and vulnerable families who want to send their children (aged 7-18 years) to school for free. KIP recipients are given regular cash funds from the government which are stored in the KIP card function to attend school for free, both those who have registered and those who have not yet registered in schools or madrasas so that the dropout rate can drop drastically.So, the target of KIP is for students who excel and are less fortunate. But in fact its implementation is not in line with expectations, many cases occur regarding KIP being mistargeted. One of them occurred in Bangli Regency. A real example is in my own village, namely Banua Village. Those who are entitled to get KIP (Smart Indonesia Card) are children or students whose families are on the line or in the Poor Family Card (KK) group so that at first glance the KIP program is right on target, but if you look more deeply In fact, the KIP or PIP program still finds errors in its implementation. There are many students in my village whose families are not in the poor family, but in fact these students are underprivileged students. And because of the implementation of the poor KK, students who are not included in the poor KK, who are in fact less well off, cannot make KIP. Even though these students are students who excel and really need the KIP. An example of a student who experiences KIP inaccuracies is myself. I'm not in the poor KK line so I can't get the KIP, even though in fact I really need the card myself. Not to mention that the KIP cannot be made because I am not a poor family member, but in reality my family and I are not someone who can afford it. So, that was the inaccuracy of KIP in Bangli Regency, so what about the wrong target? I have also experienced this wrong KIP target. At that time, I was in junior high school, one of my friends from Trunyan Village had a KIP and received a scholarship even though he himself was someone who was capable and quite rich, had a nice house and had no economic difficulties. This is what makes me feel that KIP in Bangli is still not on target and its implementation tends to be inappropriate and even unfair. Then what solution should the government take? In my opinion, what the government must do to overcome the problem of inaccuracy and wrong targeting of the KIP is, first to do research on the students who receive the KIP, whether they are really underprivileged students? We can see this from the condition of their homes, their parents' jobs, their parents' income every month and so on, well if someone fulfills the things that make them get KIP as I explained above and they are a smart and outstanding student then in my opinion they are worthy of getting KIP. In short, the Bangli Regency Government must be more careful in recruiting students who are worthy of receiving the KIP.dents who are worthy of receiving the KIP.)
ULUWATU LACE + (The Yak spoke with Ajit Khatai, ceo of Ulu … The Yak spoke with Ajit Khatai, ceo of Uluwatu handmade Balinese lace – the 50-year-old true Bali legacy fashion brand – about life in Bali, the journey so far and the future for the brand.How has Bali been for you?Been here since the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. I think one word for life here would be: healing.What does Uluwatu Handmade Balinese Lace mean to you?Magical and challenging on so many levels. A fashion business in Bali. A brand that’s core skill-set is lace. Only two colours (white and black) to the range planning. Tourists as primary customer. Language barrier. An immensely talented pool, which is aging.How is it that sophistication and simplicity exists seamlessly in Uluwatu Lace? We know it’s not easy. How do you manage to achieve it?It looks easy, because ours is a story of Bali. We carry the soul of everything that’s beautiful here. By layering simplicity over and over, we are able to create sophistication. Our pursuit is perfection. Our founder Ni Made Jati focussed on love for creating great designs. She was inspired by modern women who are independent and rebellious. Over the years, we have redefined this modern woman. I think these three elements, Bali, Simplicity and Perfection are our secrets.How did the brand start…In the 1970s it seemed a good business proposition. Bali had an abundance of lace skills. An influx of foreigners was allowing exploration of new silhouettes (before lace was predominately used on Kebayas). Our founder saw the possibilities. Those were times when Bali was getting started on its lasting reputation of being heaven; of secret idyllic beaches where seekers and hippies found the surf, sand and beads, and loads of sunshine to tan their skin. She adapted the lace to the new world, from airy over layers to breezy gowns for the evening fire. The Bohemian spirit has been alive ever since.Uniquely, the Uluwatu Lace brand is cemented deeply in Bali’s history and colonial past. Can you briefly tell us more…No-one starts out to make history. Our journey gave us two rights: time and place. Bali’s lace tradition of krawang or Lobang is a rich living craft. Earliest evidence showing its use is in the 10CE, during the end of the Majapahit reign. Almost 1,000 odd years of existence. There is an unsubstantiated belief that Kerawang is the classic crochet lace of Northern Europe. Said to be carried by missionaries who travelled with the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The timeline could be anywhere around 1600CE. But the real impact can be attributed to after 1796, when the VOC was abolished and the Dutch government gained control over Indonesia, which continued until 1941.And then there was the modern journey…Yes. Somewhere around mid ’70s, Kebaya was getting its space as a classic apparel which was introduced as modesty. Lace got incorporated into the Kebaya. We have been trying to perfect the art form ever since then. This evolved into the temple culture, to exactly the same clothing culture we witness in Bali today. We have managed to transform it into something desirable globally. Breaking the limitations of design was the tipping point. With just two colors, white and black, it was a sure recipe for disaster. The fact that we are still here is something bigger than a miracle. But here we are…Why white and black?Our journey was for excellence. I suppose we reached this point naturally. It is difficult to reason why in a 50-year journey. An intelligent guess is, white was preferred due to the tropical climate and black was easy to handle. In the early years, consistent yarns in colors was not an easy proposition. Whatever the reason, we are memorable because of the two colours.How many people are involved in making your designs?Our family is around 500 individuals. More than three quarters of this number are involved in the design creation and the rest are in support operations. Each person in our ecosystem is a lifelong partner to creation of these exclusive designs.What makes this brand click?Love and Bali. You immerse in this paradise. In return the paradise diktats that you respond with honesty. That’s what we give. We do not dilute our principles to suit business obligations. Our products are made in the old fashioned way. We have steered clear of shortcuts. Each and every piece is made in the same traditional method of bamboo hoops and slow needle whirring to make the lace. Love has its own karmic journey. Maybe it’s the love that’s responding back.What are the attitudes in fashion changing over the decades? Where is fashion’s future for designs with your niche?Look at the fashion around the world. Lace and crochet are consistent. Lace is here to stay. That speaks loads on the future of lace in fashion. It’s a classic embellishment in fashion. Women love it. It’s not going away anytime soon. We are a lace brand. We need one purchase to happen in a thousand in our market to stay in business. That’s a simple logic for excellence. We have to keep creating the most simple, sophisticated designs with the same passion. Great designs don’t need volume. We are content right now.What does high thread count mean to you and why is it important to your company?Yarn is the key. Our yarn goes through immense stress, which makes it absolutely essential to have a unique tensile strength, which is stable in the lace making process, avoiding brittleness. We have conjured up a specific blend of rayon yarns to achieve this over the years. It stays unbroken for the longest stretch of action. That brings the unique sheen to our lace.How has the Covid Pandemic affected your brand?It’s been a kind of blessing in disguise. We found time for course correction. Our focus diverted from sales to being janitors (cleaning up the brand). We found scope to refine our skills. Created a data-bank of designs. Refined the skills that had been acquired over 50 years. We updated software and improved processes. Basically we did a lot of clean-up. We had to ensure our designs remain heirloom pieces. Creating possibilities of engagement to lace designs. We conceptualized a Balinese Lace Museum and initiated the process of getting nominated as a heritage craft. It was a long list.Which design will be your all-time superstar creation? Is there a story in its creation?We love almost all our ’70s designs. The decade when chic, colour and pool parties were the epitome. The age of revolution … styles that clicked. Then we were busy making something revolutionary to be loved. We got our foothold in fashion in the ’70s.How are you involved in the creative community in Bali?As the flag bearer of Balinese Lace Fashion, we are the finest on the block. Both the founder and myself are pretty much very private people. Our direct visible engagement remains slower than we would like. However, we engage with artists, graphic artists, photographers, musicians and actors. We love to be the support to young creative talents.What are the current design projects at Uluwatu Lace?This year we are engaging in a lot of very interesting projects … I like to call in non-invasive cross-innovation, where we identify non-parallel creative techniques to come together in an organic symbiotic visual extravagance. Our designers are busy rejecting designs to arrive at acceptable designs. For example, imagine trying to combine lighter Endek fabric with Balinese lace. Both techniques cannot overpower each other. The balance of weight, colour and flow is an absolutely challenging experience.Which particular Indonesian / international celebrities could wear your designs and embody what they mean?For us, Happy Salma is the epitome of what Uluwatu Lace is supposed to mean. She is the purity of how our design should be expressed. In the case of Hollywood, I would love our designs on Alicia Vikander. Her athletic features and Grecian expression are timeless. And of course, Priyanka Jonas Chopra’s dusky exoticism. If they are reading this … we love you!What’s next for Uluwatu Lace?Short-Term: make our mark on the Paris, New York, London and Tokyo fashion scenes. Medium Term: Get listed in UNESCO heritage craft category. Long Term: hopefully keep creating inspiring designs. We have a goal to make the brand 100% sustainable with minimum carbon footprint. Engage with blockchain technology to track the impact of our brand. We also hope to have a community fingerprint, where we go beyond our business obligations and leave lasting imprints within the community that defines us.IG: @uluwatu_handmade_balinese_laceFB: @uluwatulacebaliwww.uluwatu.co.ide FB: @uluwatulacebali www.uluwatu.co.id)

For the public should follow the directions of the government, such as vaccinating, using masks every day when meeting with others, paying attention and implementing a healthy lifestyle and other things.

The first thing is certainly from yourself who must carry out, secondly there is a family that is closest to ourselves and then start doing this healthy lifestyle to the surrounding community. If all parties have done so, believe me all will be healthy and free from this plague.

The most important waste that must be resolved is plastic waste. Plastic waste in landfills has overflowed. If this plastic waste is embedded in the ground, it will prevent plants from getting good water. Moreover, if the plastic is burned it will cause pollution. Bali's prospective leaders must solve this waste problem. Maybe elected leaders can create an association or training to recycle plastic waste. What started as plastic waste became crafts such as flowers from used plastic, pencil cases, flower pots, and others. These crafts can be sold and people who don't have jobs can make money.This solution might help reduce waste in Bali, and at the same time help the government with the waste problem.

This could include subsidizing fertilizers and encouraging farmers and the community to utilize small plots for farming using hydroponic methods.The implementation of a hydroponic farming program by the local government would assist the entire community in Karangasem and beyond, possibly throughout Indonesia, in addressing the ongoing rise in basic necessities prices.Hydroponic farming does not require significant costs or extensive land; it only requires consistency in creating the necessary tools. The tools needed don't have to be new; recycled items like unused but still functional pipes and buckets or old paint cans can be utilized.Therefore, I hope the implementation of a program like this can address the rising prices of basic necessities.

However, dependence and wrong management can make tourism one of the causes of over-exploitation of nature and make Bali's condition even worse during the COVID-19 emergency. People are increasingly choosing to work in the hospitality sector rather than the domestic sector, namely agriculture and plantations, so that during a pandemic the agricultural sector also becomes difficult due to the lack of land, good systems and human resources. Though this sector can be a solution to improve the economy of Bali.One solution that can be done without choosing one of these two sectors is to apply the concept of community-based tourism or CBT. This concept can be developed by forming a tourist village so that it can become a forum or economic stimulus for rural communities. The concept of a tourist village that is widely developed in the Java area itself focuses on rural life and natural conditions that are a tourist attraction. Community activities in farming and farming can be an alternative attraction for tourists from outside the region, especially because Bali itself has a unique agricultural system. By implementing this system, the level of sustainability or sustainability of tourism and nature will be better. Of course, when there are disasters or natural phenomena that affect mass tourism like what Bali currently has, the concept of tourism planning is a good solution. If tourist visits decline, there is still a reliable agricultural sector. In addition, this concept can then become the new face of tourism in Bali with the growing trend of the hospitality business, beach panorama and hedonistic, while cultural attractions are starting to be abandoned. This CBT concept requires a good master plan so that its development is right on target. In addition, this concept can also be a solution to achieve the SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals and avoid excessive exploitation, especially to nature.essive exploitation, especially to nature.)
Tyra Kleen + (Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 19 … Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 1951) was a Swedish artist, author and women's rights activist. Her paintings, illustrations, lithographs and publications were important to the Swedish fin de siècle art movement. But above all she was an independent ethnographical researcher.In 1919, after WWI, she traveled to Java and Bali on a Swedish cargo ship. In Solo (Surakarta), Kleen worked with Beata van Helsdingen-Schoevers to write an anthropological study on the ritual court dances of Solo. Both also participated in the dance lessons. Kleen felt that dancing not only involved making the right movements on the sound of music, but that it also involved the transition into an altered state of mind to become in harmony not only with oneself, but with the Universe.Unfortunately, this project ended in July 1920 in turmoil due to clashing personalities, and van Helsdingen-Schoevers died 17 August 1920 of an unknown disease. The project was finished in 1925 with help from "Volkslectuur" (the commission of folk literature), Mabel Fowler and miss Gobée, wife of the Head of the Office for Internal Affairs, titled "The Serimpi and Bedojo Dances at the Court of Surakarta", with 16 pages of text. In July 1925 there appeared a new edition with 30 pages of text. The coloured plates were reproductions made by the Topographic Service of Kleen's drawings. For everyone involved, but especially Kleen, the result was very disappointing, because she wanted to participate in this project in order to result in a standard reference work that could be presented worldwide.When she arrived in Bali in 1920, she started a new project on the mudras, or ritual hand poses, of the Balinese Hindu priests with the assistance of the Rajah of Karangasem, Gusti Bagus Djilantik, whom she had met in Solo the year before, and of Piet de Kat Angelino. This was a turning point in her career because de Kat Angelino was able to explain to her the mudras and also encouraged the priests to cooperate. He was district-officer (controleur) of Gianjar and Klungklung for over a decade and had been collecting material on Balinese priests for years in his home in Gianjar. At his home, she could draw priests and their mudras. Their work together is presented in the book Mudras, with text and illustrations by Kleen, who acknowledged that much of the technical information about the poses and ceremonies came from de Kat Angelino and later on from R.Ng. Poerbatjaraka. Kleen spent the whole of 1921 in Java, working on the material collected in Bali the year before. She exhibited her pictures of the priests at the Art Society in Batavia. Collaboration with de Kat Angelino continued and she met him in Amsterdam on her way home. With his help an exhibition was arranged at the Colonial Institute in Amsterdam. The exhibition was favorably reviewed by de Kat Angelino in the magazine Nederlandsch Indië, Oud en Nieuw. What was the reaction at that time in the Netherlands on her work in Bali? Anne Hallema, a Dutch journalist and art-criticus wrote a critical and extensive article on the Mudra's which appeared Elseviers Geïllustreerd Maandschrift, Jaargang 34, 1924 pp. 145–147. He disqualified her work as an artist but praised her for her scientific contribution. He ends his article with stating that we have to be grateful that this stranger from the land of Selma Lagerlöf toke the initiativ to study the mudra's of the Balinese priests in performing his Hinduistic rituals. Specially the Indologists and Orientalists should be happy with the appearance of this publication.Another crucial exhibition was Två vittberesta damer (Two Travelling Ladies) at Liljevalch's Public Art Gallery in Stockholm 1922, where she showed art and artifacts from Java and Bali together with Swedish photographer and author Ida Trotzig contributing works from Japan. This exhibition was the starting point for the "Bali-fever" in Sweden. Kleen's depictions of mudras were shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1923.Besides Mudras, Kleen published two other books about Bali: Ni-Si-Pleng, a story about black children written for white children (1924), and, seven years later, Tempeldanser och musikinstrument pa Bali, printed in 300 numbered copies, translated in 1936 as The Temple Dances in Bali.Kleen's study on the mudras, the exhibition in Amsterdam at the Colonial Institute and the publication of her books made her internationally known. For her scientific ethnographic work on Bali, Kleen was awarded the Johan August Wahlberg silver medal in April 1938, given to individuals who have "promoted anthropological and geographical science through outstanding efforts".Walter Spies was the central figure in the circle of artists residing on the island in Ubud, Klungklung and Karangasem. He was considered to be the greatest expert on Balinese dance and drama. Together with the British dance critic Beryl de Zoete, he wrote the standard 1938 work Dance and Drama in Bali. Spies was jealous of the international success of Kleen[citation needed] and wrote a very critical nine-page review of the Temple Dances in Bali in the journal Djawa (1939). He complained, "the text and the depictions are filled with so many mistakes, errors and incorrect statements that one must shake one's head." Spies claims that as an ethnographic document the book has no value. As a result, there were nearly no references to the work of Kleen in any ethnographic periodicals or publications after this critical review. It is only in 1962 that C. Hooykaas in his article "Saiva-Siddhanta in Java and Bali" supported the importance of the study on mudras by de Kat Angelino and Kleen.Kleen contributed work to various European magazines, including Sluyters' Monthly, Nederlandsch Indië Oud en Nieuw, Ord och Bild and Inter-Ocean, between 1920 and 1925 and influenced in this way the perception and expectations of foreign visitors to Bali. Furthermore, she influenced with her colourful, vivid and dynamic art-deco drawing style the development of painting by local artists in Bali, not in a one-way influence but more a kind of mutual influence.Mostly these local paintings were made for the touristic market and depicted daily life instead of exclusively being concerned with gods, demons and the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics. In this way, she took part in the marketing of "the last paradise". This also meant that she became associated with this type of magazine drawing instead of her more important ethnographic publications. more important ethnographic publications.)

Wayan Sila + (“The very first night I slept over at my n … “The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was aspecial experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as aguardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinesemythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member ispregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasaIndonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of thenight.“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. Iwas intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has nowmanifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl alsoencourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artistWayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for achild to learn to draw and paint.Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. Inthe evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the ClassicalKamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began tocreate their own distinctive style.The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized bynarratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmentallandscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the humanfigure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by anindividual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its rootsfirmly entrenched here in Ubud.Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense ofbalance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlinedin black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, asmall piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association withthe people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in theIndonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, andnumerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung RaiMuseum of Art in Ubud.“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching youngJapanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visitJapan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues toell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,45x 60cm.Wayan SilaGarden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initiallycollaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From TheWoods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no morethan 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’scomplimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full roundeyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defyyou to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud. Journey 400 meters along Jalan Bisma until theroadside urban development gives way to the effervescence of the padis. Down on the right hand side nestled in thesawah you will find his small abode. Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the greenswaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of theyard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surroundinggarden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayanhas created his special own oasis.As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing andinviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stonecarvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned withofferings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world. His owls’ peer outfrom within forests and lush scenes, their big eyes possess a magnetic pull and communicate a language that isdeciphered in our hearts.

I Nyoman Popo Priyatna Danes + (“What the modern architecture is still try … “What the modern architecture is still trying to achieve today has been implemented in the traditional Balinese architecture for centuries now, where the concepts of energy conservation and environmental preservation are amongst the fundamental elements in every design.” – Popo DanesFrom private homes and restaurants to starred hotels and luxury resorts, the renowned Balinese architect Nyoman Popo Danes is known for his exemplary designs that showcase a distinct flair of being in harmony with the local culture and nature. This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.“While some architects are very focused on making their buildings look stunning from the outside, my main concern has always been the functionality of each aspect of the building. I always make sure that my designs are in harmony with their natural surroundings; that each room has a function; that a strong connection between the architecture, landscape, and interior is established. I don’t care if my architecture is not photogenic, as long as it serves its function well.”As an international destination, Bali attracts people from all corners of the world with its uniqueness. Therefore, Popo believes that every building on the island needs to be able to help these people feel that they are in Bali. “When you travel, you want to be immersed in the local atmosphere. In Bali, a building should exude the feeling of locality so when you enter it, you know you’re not in Jakarta, Hong Kong, or anywhere else.”The works of the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner (in the category of Best Practice in Tropical Architecture) are known as some of the most striking in design, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Air conditioners take up the biggest energy consumption in a building, and Popo’s eco-friendly creations have the ability to ‘communicate’ with nature to lessen energy consumption through the overuse of air conditioners.“I create buildings that have open pavilions (just like in typical Balinese buildings) to allow breeze to blow in, and I don’t put too many glass windows. Then again, air circulation or heat is not the only reason why air conditioners are overused. People also tend to turn their air conditioners on to escape from the noise pollution outside their buildings. When all windows and doors are shut, it’s quiet inside. This is where nature steps in. Towering trees can be a great noise filter, and they also serve as a fresh, cool air provider.”From Indonesia to India and China to the Philippines, most of Popo’s architecture projects involve challenging landscapes. “It’s never easy. A lot of projects i’ve been doing so far (especially for luxury resorts) involve slanted soil, hilly surfaces and everything else not flat. Of course I can always take the easy job; for example in Bali, I get so many offers to design a building on a flat surface. The thing is, in order for me to build it, I have to get rid of a rice field. I will never build anything on a rice field. Rice field is a symbol of prosperity for the Balinese, and is home to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”e to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”)

Before I deliver this speech, I first want to thank you for the time and opportunity given to me to deliver my speech of hope. to the Bali government entitled "JUST CONNECTION OCCURRING IN BALI". Traffic jams arise because the volume of motorized vehicles is not proportional to the volume of the road. The number of motorized vehicles and cars increases every day. As a result, cars, public transportation and motorbikes pile up on the streets, traffic jams occur. Congestion can also slow down the performance of people who are stuck in traffic jams. Workers will be late arriving at work and students will arrive late at school. This especially happens to people who choose to use private transportation rather than public transportation. Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations. On this occasion I would like to invite you to overcome traffic jams in Bali. If we cannot overcome them, at least we can reduce traffic jams in Bali. There are 2 main things we can do to reduce congestion. First, use public transportation, don't use private vehicles, using public transportation can reduce the volume of vehicles on the road. In the end, traffic jams will be reduced. Second, get used to walking if the distance is not too far. This method is simple but difficult to do. Even though walking is healthy, and by walking we are contributing to reducing traffic jams in Bali. I am sure that by taking these 2 actions traffic jams in Bali can be reduced. However, the Bali Government is expected to improve the comfort and safety of public transportation. I am sure that if public transportation is safe and comfortable, there will be more passengers. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself. This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions. For your attention I would like to thank. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)
Made Janur Yasa + ("In the year and a half the pandemic has p … "In the year and a half the pandemic has persisted, Bali’s almost decimated tourist economy has had had far-reaching financial and social effects on the resident population. It is, however, during times of difficulty when good souls shine bright. The silver lining of the pandemic has been witnessing the wholehearted efforts of individuals and organisations who have stepped up to support and help the, often newly, vulnerable communities, even when faced with their own difficulties.From food donations to education programs, the list of goodwill initiatives on the island has been heartwarming to say the least; in reality many would have suffered gravely without such community efforts.One creative initiative changed the dynamic. Made Janur Yasa is a restaurateur, a partner in the unique vegan restaurant Moksa in Ubud. In May 2020, as Bali was in the depths of the pandemic lull, Janur began a program called Plastic for Rice, a barter system that encouraged locals to trade in collected plastic for rice. In an interview with NOW! Bali when the program started, he says that he remembered how villagers used to barter in the early days, rice for sea salt, farm to sea. He said that this gave people spirit, making sure that people don’t get used to receiving without working.Through this plastic for rice system, Janur provided a double solution: cleaning littered plastic in the environment; as well as providing much-needed sustenance to those in need, especially in rural areas.The program started in Banjar Jangkahan and Banjar Penulisan, Batuaji Village, Tabanan, the regency where Janur comes from. It was set up as prototype, a system to be replicated in other villages… and it was.Three months later, Plastic for Rice became Plastic Exchange. In that time, as reported in August 2020, the movement had spread to 44 banjars and 1,345 households.But beyond that it had evolved beyond a simple ‘system’, and became a movement.

Louis Nagelkerke is not only fascinated by the beauty of the people, but also by all the wonderful things religion has brought the country, such as temples and buddha statues. During his many journeys through Indonesia, Louis noticed that it is a very rich country in many ways. Louis believes that this has a lot to do with the fact that the Indonesian people are proud of their country. When Louis travels through Bali to take pictures for his paintings, the local people enjoy that. Meanwhile, it is not special for them. They live with all that beauty, their rich culture, and traditions every day. They are used to it. When Louis paints Balinese people, he tries to show them how beautiful and rich their culture is, how beautiful they are themselves. For Louis personal[ly], it is important that he, while photographing and painting the people, can make a part of their personality his own.

Bali, which usually doesn't stop bringing in rupiah coffers to support its people's economy, is now deserted.A few months after the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, there was a lot of buzz in the social media about the hashtag #WorkFromBali. Bali, as the most popular tourist attraction in Indonesia, is slowly starting to rise from the slump of the COVID-19 pandemic.Most Indonesian people consider Bali as an elite tourist destination, because the majority of visitors are foreign tourists. Not infrequently Indonesian people also think that the price of admission to tourism and the price of food at the place to eat is also high (by the standards of foreign tourists).Seeing the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic which is still uncertain, it is better for the Bali government to start moving to carry out "Rebranding Bali" for domestic tourists. Because they are considered the safest and most sustainable, to keep the economy in Bali alive and spinning.There are several ways that the Balinese government can do to invite local and domestic tourists to visit Bali:1. Ensure that Bali is a safe place during the Covid-19 pandemic, by showing that all frontline Bali tourism has been vaccinated and maintaining proper health protocols;2. Invite influencers to advertise Bali. The hashtag #WorkFromBali seems to be very good and powerful to be echoed again;3. Recalculate the highest price specifically for local and domestic tourists, such as the price of tourist entrance tickets, lodging prices, food prices, and so on, by adjusting the socio-economic conditions of the Indonesian people.4. Provide understanding and training for the frontline Bali tourism, to treat local and domestic tourists in the same way as treating foreign tourists.Hopefully Bali's economy will get better.

Before that, let us pray to the presence of Almighty God. Thanks to Him, we can gather here with happiness at the Bali Public Participation Wikithon with orations, which carries the theme, Election 2024: what are the most urgent problems to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders ? Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.Happy guests, as we know, Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples with its very beautiful environment, which is often visited by foreign tourists, because Bali is one of the focuses of tourism in Indonesia. This is what drives many foreign tourists to come to Bali. Even though Bali is a tourist destination, this is not the main topic of discussion, but there are problems that have a significant impact on Bali. As we know, this so-called era of destruction, if we talk about the problems in Bali, will cause Bali to collapse. Unfortunately, the problems in Bali have not received treatment that is useful for the island of Bali.Happy guests, if you look at life now it is certainly different from previous life, especially with the problems, the most important problem is related to the environment and land of the island of Bali which has been built up and used as a tourist attraction, this is what will make the island of Bali In terms of land and environment, it will become increasingly narrow, if all the land and environment in Bali is made into a tourist attraction, where will we (humans), animals and others live and live our daily lives? Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease. Are we all willing to live and do activities in dirty places? Of course, many of you are reluctant to live in a dirty place. Happy attendees, if I conclude it is related to the problems in Bali, so that Balinese leaders can provide solutions related to problems: the transfer of land or the environment to become tourist attractions and the rampant waste which has not received special attention from the government. Based on these problems, if we don't work together from now on as the front guard, it is certain that the island of Bali will gradually collapse. The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity. Based on these problems, my hope is that the elected leader of Bali 2024 will be able to find a solution so that the Balinese people can implement the noble values that exist in Bali, namely TRI HITA KARANA, because these problems are related. with the TRI HITA KARANA value, so that Bali can return to the way it was before.Happy guests, that is the speech I can deliver, I hope you all are aware of the current condition of Bali.re aware of the current condition of Bali.)

Not just ourselves, all of us, both students, teenagers and parents, everyone living on earth, including Bali, which is famous for its natural beauty, should care about the existence of plastic waste. This is a behavior that includes teenagers as the main actors.Remember, the job of teenagers is not only to decorate and take selfies in beautiful places, but no one pays attention to the rubbish in front of them, which causes disasters such as landslides, floods, pollution and others.So that we are not exposed to danger, we should throw rubbish in the trash, we should not throw rubbish in the surrounding environment such as rivers, roads, sewers, etc. Come on, let's not throw rubbish carelessly so that the surrounding environment remains beautiful and sustainable!

Symon + (A stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le Mayeu … A stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le Mayeur and his mentor, the Indonesian-Dutch painter Arie Smit, Symon was among the last in the lineage of foreign artists who have helped raise Bali’s international profile as an exotic destination for art and design. Renowned for his vivid pop style with new iconic motifs, he was born on April 13, 1947, as Ronald Thomas Bierl in Detroit, Michigan, the United States, and made Bali his home in 1978. He was installed in the Puri Kaler of Ubud Palace by the Ubud royal family, who had for decades been patrons of foreign artists. Symon later took over Arie Smit’s cottage in nearby Campuhan, where his studio grew into local landmark. In 2014, he moved full-time to his other destination studio at Alas Sari in North Bali, Art Zoo, which he had founded in 1998.Symon, who passed away on April 15, 2020 of natural causes from sepsis, was incredibly prolific and successful, creating many thousands of artworks in several countries.His work was widely collected by tastemakers like former minister Joop Ave, especially during the 1990s and 2000s trend for Asian neotraditional style. Many collectors built submersive Symon environments, as at Qunci Villas in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. A book series on Southeast Asian interiors had to swap some paintings in many of its featured homes because too many of their architects and owners had put Symons on their walls.Symon’s art is cherished for its vivid color, strong outlines and exuberant energy. His figurative paintings and sculpture project a friendly, fantastical appeal, combining the rawness of real-life models and scenes within compositions from mythology and lesser-known Bali history. His sense of line, hue and witty slogans draw from his origins as a cartoonist in the 1960s American counter-culture.Raised in a house at the corner of Detroit’s Normal Road and Common Street, he was far from normal or common and yearned to escape convention. He was an exciting personality to be around, popping with fresh ideas. An outrageous showman, he would tell wild anecdotes and burst into rhyming raps. As a precocious teen under the pseudonym John Ka, he wrote to Beat Generation poets like Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs and William Carlos Williams, who sent him new poems to illustrate. He soon became an artist in underground zines like Fifth Estate and got to know New York legends like Frank Zappa and Andy Warhol.Until making Bali his permanent home, he kept trying new locations. As a youth, he twice ran away to Rome, where he studied under the sculptor Emilio Greco and got the attention of film director Federico Fellini, who dubbed him “the magician of the air”. On the overland route from Amsterdam to India, a road accident in Turkey broke his hip. While recovering he renamed himself Simon White. He finally made it to India and then went north to Nepal.Over eight years in Kathmandu, Simon helped preserve the traditional art of Tibetan woodblock printing. With three partners he opened Himalayan antique shops in London, Amsterdam and New York. Like many “Easties”, he became expert in Asian traditional knowledge, which later infused his artworks. In the mid-1970s, Simon spent periods in the New York art scene, Colombia and Wales, England. In each new location, his studios echoed Warhol’s Factory in being a networking hub and a venue for arty “happenings”. He formed several creative teams, from the Psychic League in Rome and Fantabulous Group in Nepal to the Levitation League in Legian, Bali. In his Ubud garden, he staged theatrical productions at the amphitheater designed by the futuristic architect R. Buckminster Fuller. In each location, he trained up teams of local artisans. In Nepal he hired Tibetan refugees to carve new and replacement woodblocks to the old ones he printed from. He brought screen printing to Bali in the 1980s and then to Cambodia in Minefield Studios at Siem Reap in the early 1990s. His most famous breakthrough was JakPak, a range of convertible clothing co-created with Annie Anderson and Kiyoshi Okuda, in which pop-hued jackets and hats could turn into bags through hidden pockets. JakPak became Bali’s first clothing export and an international phenomenon collected by the likes of Mick Jagger.Symon kept ahead of the curve, since his aim in life was constant reinvention under a motto “towards a functional reality”. Many of his creations were practical as well as fun, from JakPak to his Toyniture — quirky furnishings like his Lady Chairs and giant dining table. He conjured outlandish architecture, like his key-hole windowed pagoda at Art Zoo, which he filled with sculptures and oddities. The maximalist effect of all these “studio atmospherics” beguiled visitors and in turn became props for his paintings. The Art Zoo remains visually stunning. Symon’s heir and Art Zoo’s Balinese manager aim to reopen it as a destination where locals and tourists can continue to appreciate Symon’s distinctive art of Bali.ppreciate Symon’s distinctive art of Bali.)

Therefore, many migrant residents come to Bali looking for work and making a fortune in Bali.

Kirangnyane Efektivitas Program Bus Trans Metro Dewata antuk Ngentasin Pikobet Macet ring Bali + (Based on an article from the Denpasar City … Based on an article from the Denpasar City Government website, the Trans Metro Dewata Bus is a mass transportation which is one of the Bali Provincial Government's efforts to improve public services in the land transportation sector in urban areas, especially Denpasar City and covers several areas outside Denpasar City. The aim of the Bali Provincial Government in creating this program is none other than to reduce traffic jams and individual vehicle pollution. Trans Metro Dewata buses have now spread to various areas in Bali Province. However, its implementation over time is not in accordance with what the government hoped or planned. Most Trans Metro Dewata buses are currently empty without carrying passengers. Most people are reluctant to use public transportation because the stopping points are limited and far away, so it requires more effort to reach them. This also causes the majority of residents to prefer to use online motorcycle taxi applications rather than public transportation. The lack of public awareness of the existence of public transportation also causes a lack of passengers. Payment methods that can only be cashless can be a problem, especially for people who don't have or haven't made electronic money. According to interviews with 15 sources that the author conducted regarding the effectiveness of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program, 9 out of 15 sources were of the opinion that the implementation of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program was still not effective, which according to the experience of the sources was caused by several bus drivers who were a little impatient when driving their buses. so that when a motorbike passes in front of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus, the bus driver will honk at the motorbike rider. Then there were also sources who said that the terminal was far away, and there were also those who regretted the fact that the existing Trans Metro Dewata buses were currently empty and did not carry passengers due to a lack of public awareness regarding the use of this public transportation. On the other hand, 6 out of 15 interviewees believed that this program was effective because it could reduce traffic jams, pollution and save petrol costs. However, in reality there are still more sources who say that this program is not effective than those who say that this program is effective. Therefore, the government must pay more attention to this matter, because if it is not handled further it will have an impact on the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program which has been implemented by the government. Several sources also expressed their hope that this problem would be resolved and better in the future, that the government should be able to increase the effectiveness of this program with better solutions so that people would be interested and have the desire to use the Trans Metro Dewata Bus. desire to use the Trans Metro Dewata Bus.)

Ngwangun Bali antuk P2 + (Building Bali with P2 Buildin … Building Bali with P2 Building and maintaining Local Wisdom and Building a Bridge of Hope for a Bright Future for the Island of the GodsOm Swastiastu Dear guests, I invite you to pray for a moment to the one God, with joy. I invite the brothers before starting this oration. Let us express our gratitude for the blessings given to us at this "Bali Oration" event, I will present the text of the oration entitled "Building Bali for P2" Dear guests, as we know, Bali is a paradise island for tourists which is called "the last paradise" because of its natural beauty, and we as Balinese citizens must protect this Bali, as do our leaders who will bring Bali into a new era, If not us who else?!! as the leader of Bali he must see and pay attention to the tourists who come to Bali, because there are many cases of insults and bad behavior from tourists which can damage Balinese taksu. Dear ladies and gentlemen, as they all know, Bali is very stressed by taksu, but now it may be even more lost, why?!!, because the tourists do not appreciate and probably do not know how our area is. Many of his actions have damaged the feet of our enemies. According to data from the Bali Ministry of Law and Human Rights as of April 10 2023, they have deported 82 foreign nationals (WNA) for committing violations. Foreigners from Russia are top with 21 members. Nigeria is in second place with 7 people, followed by the US and the UK with 6 each. Distinguished guests, whoever will be the next leader of Bali, I hope to take a firm stance against tourists who behave not in accordance with the moral norms that exist in Bali, it is important for leaders to find a balanced solution between good economic growth and preserving heritage Balinese culture and nature. In my opinion, the next leader of Bali must discuss P2, namely the first is conservation, meaning that conservation means that we as Balinese citizens must not be deceived, because every tourist may make a mistake which will reduce our taksu. The second P is Management, management means providing information about several places in Bali that are still sacred and strictly prohibiting tourists from doing inappropriate actions. I want to remind them, once again, that whoever leads Bali must be firm in collaborating and organizing to resolve and investigate all existing problems and we as Balinese must also participate in protecting the world of Bali, if not us, who else.
