Maybe if students have any Balinese language assignment, they can open the BASAbali Wiki site. From dictionaries, word games, to articles—they are here. This website also often holds Balinese language competitions called Wikithons. A Wikithon stands for wiki marathon. It is a place to argue about public issues, and to talk about the most appropriate solution to the problems of society in the world. Communities can argue, improve their proficiency in Balinese, and can also get money if they win. Most importantly, all opinions regarding public issues can be submitted here and heard by the government.</br></br>The purpose of the BASAbali Wiki Website is indeed very good. But we need to think about it together, is it only when there is a wikithon, can people have an opinion? Then if the topic or issue of Withton is not felt by the community, how can the community have an opinion? So, if BASAbali Wiki really wants to become a platform where people can think about what’s around them, and can convey their feelings to the government, the BASAbali Wiki website should make a feature “Ngiring Masuara” or in Indonesian it’s called “Let’s Talk”. If you click on the “Ngiring Masuara” button, people can write their feelings about everything around them, what public issues will be resolved, and everything that will be conveyed to the government. Not only writing, but there you can also fill in photos, videos, locations, and the name of the service to be addressed.</br></br>For example, if there is a puddle or a broken road, it can cause harm to passers-by, especially at night. People who see this can write in the “Ngiring Masuara” feature. There, the public can complain to the Public Works Department and complete it with photos of the damaged roads. Then the BASAbali Wiki team would be in charge of making sure that the people’s writings on this topic can reach the correct officers.</br></br>There are several problems that are often encountered on the road, but we don’t know where to complain. In the end, people sneer at the government on social media. That is also useless. The government will not moved to help. However, if there is already a BASAbali Wiki website, hopefully the voices of the people can reach the government. That is my opinion. Hopefully, BASAbali Wiki can spark people’s enthusiasm to pay attention to the environment and public issues. I hope BASAbali Wiki can connect to the government about people’s feelings and opinions. In the end, the community and the government can jointly hold on to each other to make Bali more advanced.</br>The fruit of the durian tree rolls down and is sold at the market for ten thousand rupiah.

This Kakawin was composed by Mpu Panuluh during the Jayabhaya period of Panjalu (1135-1157 A.D.). In the manggala (opening) section of kakawin, there is a verse of honor for King Jayabhaya.</br></br>The description in Kakawin Bharatayuddha is almost similar to the description of war in the Mahabharata written directly by Krishna Dvaipayana Vedavyasa 5,000 years ago. Presumably, this Kakawin is a kind of direct adaptation of the original Sanskrit text. The story in Kakawin Bharatayuddha begins with the arrival of Sri Krishna as an ambassador of peace for Pandavas. Sri Krishna did not want to eat at the Kaurava’s house, but He ate at Widura’s house.</br></br>Then war broke out between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. In the Mahabharata, the description of war begins in the Bhisma Parwa section. This Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a shortened version of Bhisma Parwa, Drona Parwa, Karna Parwa, Salya Parwa to Swargarohana Parwa. It is said that the war in Kuruksetra took place in December. At the beginning of the war it was told that Arjuna felt sorry for having to fight with his own relatives. But Sri Krishna convinced him to fight because it was a battle between right and evil. This philosophical and religious dialog is known as Bhagavad-gita. Unfortunately, Kakawin Bharatayuddha does not contain this most important teaching and is more focused on warfare. This is understandable because Kakawin Bharatayuddha is a pujasastra (praise literary work) for King Jayabhaya. In fact, the essence of the teachings in Bharatayuddha is actually Bhagawad-gita.</br></br>At the end of this story there is the story of revenge by Asvatthama (in the Sauptika Parwa section), but this kakawin does not tell about the destruction of the city of Dwaraka. Another interesting plot is the story of the revival of Pariksit who died in the womb. This story is also written in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.ritten in Hariwangsa and Bhagawata Purana.)

  • 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 a</br>special experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”</br></br>The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as a</br>guardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinese</br>mythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member is</br>pregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasa</br>Indonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of the</br>night.</br>“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. I</br>was intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has now</br>manifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl also</br>encourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.</br>Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artist</br>Wayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,</br>surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for a</br>child to learn to draw and paint.</br>Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. In</br>the evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the Classical</br>Kamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began to</br>create their own distinctive style.</br>The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized by</br>narratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmental</br>landscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,</br>depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the human</br>figure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by an</br>individual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its roots</br>firmly entrenched here in Ubud.</br></br>Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense of</br>balance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlined</br>in black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, a</br>small piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x</br>80 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.”</br></br>Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association with</br>the people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in</br>2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has </br>enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in the</br>Indonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, and</br>numerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung Rai</br>Museum of Art in Ubud.</br></br>“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching young</br>Japanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques.

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.</br> Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations.</br> 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.</br> 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.</br> This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions.

She was also heavily involved in the psychoanalyst scene, and was interested in integrating and harmonising the self through the process of writing. Therefore it is no surprise that she idealised the idyllic island of Bali—a quiet refuge in which man lived in harmony with his universe....</br></br>In 1955, Anaïs first took LSD under the guidance of Aldous Huxley and wrote a beautifully evocative description of her visions and subconscious landscape which included images of Javanese temples, Balinese music, symbolic dance gestures before finally finishing with the conclusion, “Ah, I cannot capture the secret of life with WORDS.” She was beginning to reveal what her soul desired deep down—for Anaïs, utopia was a state of mind in which the artist had access to the world of dreams. Perhaps this is why she fell in love with the mysticism and art of Bali. In her final journal (volume 7 of her diaries) she finished with a reflection on her trip to this island, complete with magical descriptions of sacred cremations, opulent gardens, temple dances, Wayang shadow puppets, natural-material bungalows used as hotels, the haunting music, and the sophisticated and gentle ways of the Balinese people."d and gentle ways of the Balinese people.")

Dutch-born Indonesian painter who lived on Bali.</br></br>Smit was the third of eight children of a trader in cheese and confectionery in Zaandam. His family moved in 1924 to Rotterdam, where Smit eventually studied graphic design at the Academy of Arts. In his youth he was most inspired by the work of three artists named Paul (Signac, Gauguin and Cézanne). In 1938 he joined the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army. After three months he was sent to the Dutch East Indies , where he worked as a lithographer for the Dutch army's Topographical Service in Batavia, engraving relief maps of the archipelago. Etching Balinese mountains onto maps ignited his desire to one day go to Bali.</br></br>In early 1942 Smit was transferred to the infantry in East Java, but was soon captured by the invading Japanese forces. He spent three and a half years in forced labor camps building roads, bridges, and railways on the Burma Railway in Thailand, and Burma. After the Japanese capitulation in August 1945, Smit convalesced in Bangkok until January 1946. After being stationed in Denpasar, Bali as a staff writer for the infantry, he returned to the Topographical Service in Batavia in September. Until its discontinuation in 1950, he remained employed at this service, eventually becoming head of the drawing department, but in his spare time he criss-crossed Java as a painter and in October 1948 had his first exhibition in Batavia/Jakarta.[5] After Indonesian Independence on December 27, 1949, all Dutch nationals had to choose between Dutch or Indonesian citizenship within two years. Smit briefly considered emigrating to South Africa, but decided to stay; he became an Indonesian citizen late in 1951. In the following years he taught graphics and lithography at the Institut Teknologi Bandung in West Java.</br></br>Bali</br>On invitation by the Dutch artist Rudolf Bonnet he visited Bali in 1956, together with Dutch artist Auke Sonnega. He soon met art dealer James (Jimmy) Clarence Pandy, who ran a gallery and souvenir shop. Pandy invited Smit to stay in a house on stilts at the beach of Sanur. Smit and Pandy remained friends and formed a partnership. Pandy was well-connected; Sukarno would sometimes bring his state guests to his gallery. With his love for bright colors, Smit was captured by the Balinese landscapes in its 'riotous light', and soon decided to stay to depict its villages, rice terraces, palm trees and temples.</br></br>In 1960, while touring the village of Penestanan in the Ubud District where he then lived, he came upon some boys drawing in the sand. Impressed by their talent, Smit invited them to his studio, where they became the first of a growing number of students. With minimal instruction but lots of encouragement and material support, his pupils created a naive style of genre painting that became known as the 'Young Artists' style, which at its peak had 300-400 followers. Though he is considered the father of the movement, its style is quite different than any of Smit's own styles over the years.</br></br>From the time of his arrival in Bali, Smit moved some 40 times, "to see what is beyond the next hill". He stayed longest in his favorite areas of Karangasem and Buleleng. He finally settled in 1992 in the village of Sanggingan near Ubud under the patronage of Pande Wayan Suteja Neka, founder of the Neka Art Museum. In recognition for his role in the development of painting on the island, Smit received the Dharma Kusama (Flower of Devotion, a Balinese cultural award) in 1992 from the government of Bali. The Arie Smit Pavilion was opened at the Neka Art Museum in 1994 to display his works and those of contemporary Balinese artists. The Museum Bali in Denpasar and the Penang Museum in Malaysia also have collections of his work. Smit further had exhibits in Jakarta, Singapore, Honolulu and Tokyo.

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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.</br>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.</br>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.</br></br>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.</br></br>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.)

  • Aji Janantaka  + (Aji Janantaka is a mythical lontar which tAji Janantaka is a mythical lontar which tells the origin of wood in Bali. This lontar tells about woods that have a hierarchy like a royal system among humans. Based on the story in Aji Janantaka, Balinese people determine the types of wood that can be used to build shrines, house buildings, or make utensils and masks. There are sacred types of wood that can only be used to build holy places and may not be used for ordinary building materials.</br></br>The story in this lontar begins with a king named Pratipa who ruled in the land of Janantaka. The king had five ministers namely Matwa, Rangga, Tumenggung, Arya and Kadeyan. In addition, he had five other officials, namely Punggawa, Manca, Perbekel, Pecalang, Kelihan Banjar, and Kasinoman. They were all attacked by a plague of leprosy which could not be cured by any means. It is said that this plague was originated from Lord Shiva who displeased King Pratipa because the king had made an offense.</br></br>King Pratipa then sent Matwa to go to Lord Dharma in heaven to ask for healing. According to Lord Dharma, the entire kingdom had to be moved from Janantaka to Wanapringga. Dewa Dharma then gave them purification for their ailments. However, this purification meant that they would all be dissolved and be reborn into trees.</br></br>All types of trees originating from the king, Arya, Rangga, Demung, Tumenggung, pecalang, Perbekel, kliyan and kasinoman cannot be used for building holy buildings because they had previously been affected by leprosy (known as “cukil daki” or “ila” disease). The trees that are considered contaminated include the Bengkulitan, Taru Brokan (deformed tree due to being eaten by pests), Embud Hati tree, Soca Menengan Sunduk tree, and Soca Nyuwun Lambang tree.</br></br>This lontar can be referred to as a simple botanical taxonomic palm-leaf manuscript centered on local trees that grew in Bali in the past. There are also Brahmin tree class and Taru Sari tree class. Both types of trees can be used as sacred building materials. There are also jempini, bayur and bentawa trees belonging to the taru sakama-kama class, which can be used for any purpose.</br></br>Apart from the types of trees, Lontar Aji Janantaka also describes types of fragrant flowers that can be used for ceremonies. These fragrant flowering trees are classified as sekar madewi, namely cananga, frangipani, canigara, tigaron, sebita, kembang kuning, kemoning, tigakancu, tampak bela, katrangan, nagasari, jasmine, jempiring, pudak sari, pudak cinaga, pudak kalasa, sekar gambir, chrysanthemum, magnolia, ratna, and gadung kasturi.emum, magnolia, ratna, and gadung kasturi.)

Both of his parents were Spanish, a fact that Blanco believed linked him geographically and spiritually to Miro and Salvador Dali. His father settled in Manila during the Spanish - American War, where he attained prominence as a physician. Blanco was educated at the American Central School in Manila. During his high school years he loved the arts, literature and language classes but struggled in scientific subjects. It is no wonder that he spoke six languages - Spanish, French, English, Tagalog, Indonesian and a bit of Balinese. After completing high school in Manila, Blanco studied at the National Academy of Art in New York under Sidney Dickinson. During those early formative years, Blanco concentrated on the human form, fascinated by the female body more than any other subject matter. To further his studies and ignite his traveling spirit, he traveled extensively throughout the world before he finally landed in Bali in 1952. The King of Ubud gave Blanco a piece of land to set up his home and studio in Campuan, Ubud, at the confluence of two sacred rivers.

His artistic outpourings of this isolated world became much sought after by eager art lovers, collectors and promoters. Within a few years, Blanco became the most famous foreign artist to make Bali his home. He was recognized in both Indonesia and abroad, receiving numerous Blanco Awards and commanding huge prizes at international auctions.</br></br>By the end of his life, Blanco had begun building his museum at his studio in Campuan.
