I Wayan Januariawan + (Wayan was born in Jauary 1986. He is a gra … Wayan was born in Jauary 1986. He is a graduate of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts in Denpasar. Donal wishes to revive and embody the “tradition” of painting in the history of the development of modern art through the method of painting on the spot. He returns to nature and tries to appreciate and permeate the phenomenon of form, where aspects of light play a vital role in the absorption of objects by the eye and are then transferred to the canvas plane.The choice of objects painted by Donal on the spot is also an object in the surrounding environment that is familiar in his daily life as a Balinese. Thus, what appears visibly to Donal’s works is the painting of landscapes, trees, or parts of certain plants that are painted close-up, or a collection of natural objects.Donal views painting as part of the culture of society. He wants to present things that might look simple, natural, and beautiful (in the eyes of ordinary people) in the hope that this will be the entrance for them to be able to respond to even deeper things, that is, the ideas in each of his paintings.Based on Donal’s view of his creative process as serious and intense, painting on the spot with impasto techniques, we can read this as Donal’s effort to celebrate and give meaning to painting as a way of presenting beauty and peace of mind through the elements of art—especially colors, which all support light. Donal puts painting as mainstream in his creative process. His struggle and his trust in the power of painting is an inseparable part of a human being’s sense of beauty.He joined in group exhibitions from 2005, and had solo exhibitions from 2014. 2005, and had solo exhibitions from 2014.)
Peran Krama Bali Kaanggen Ngwangun Pariwisata Bali Mangkin lan Selanturnyane + (We all know how the condition of Bali tour … We all know how the condition of Bali tourism is after the Covid-19 pandemic. Tourists are not allowed to go to Bali so that Covid-19 virus does not spike again. This causes Bali tourism to decline. Balinese people who work in the tourism sector do not get jobs. The Bali government has issued a policy that is used to suppress the spread of the Corona Virus. One of the policies is the implementation of restrictions on community activities or what is known as PPKM (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat). This causes the spread of Covid-19 to decrease. Because the government already has efforts to reduce the spread of the Corona Virus, we as the next generation can help the government to improve Bali tourism. There are many procedures that can be used to improve Balinese tourism. The first way is to promote Balinese tourist destinations using social media. This requires the participation of the Balinese people. Those who like to upload photos while on vacation to tourist destinations in Bali can also help develop and improve Bali tourism. Indonesia has a website that is used to promote Indonesian tourism. Second, the public can help provide tourist destinations in accordance with health protocols related to government policies, as well as maintaining the cleanliness of tourism places. This causes a sense of security. Third, Bali has many cultural works that are popular abroad, for example, such as carvings, paintings, sculptures, and so on. Maybe Balinese artists can provide counseling to the younger generation on how to make art. This can foster a sense of love for domestic products and can encourage Balinese cultural works with the younger generation.Well, that's a little bit about the procedure to restore Bali tourism during the pandemic. We should always remember our identity as Balinese people, namely to develop Balinese culture.eople, namely to develop Balinese culture.)

Therefore, the tourism sector needs to be treated specially and carefully so that the life of this sector can be maintained and run smoothly. However, lately we can find a lot of foreign guests who come to Bali, they behave arbitrarily and do not seem to respect the laws in Bali. This is certainly a negative signal regarding the quality of tourism in Bali that not only radiates in Bali, but certainly outside Bali. This signal can certainly then have a major effect on the image of Bali tourism which shows the wider world how the quality of tourism in Bali today.So, what are the steps that might be taken to restore the image and quality of tourism in Bali related to this phenomenon? In my opinion, there are two perspectives that we need to understand and do to overcome the above phenomenon. First, we look at it using an inside perspective that we must admit that migrants or visitors will imitate how their hosts behave. So, this perspective leads to us as hosts to be able to set a good example and be a role model for those who come to Bali to travel or to stay. The second perspective is to look from the outside. In this perspective, it is the government that then has the responsibility of making the right regulations to filter tourists who will enter Indonesia. There must be concrete regulations that can require tourists who can enter Indonesia who may be selected regarding their quality. These two things then are not easy, but will be beautiful in the future if we slowly succeed in doing so. And again, how we are able to maintain it, then causally, it will also be able to support us which in this case is the tourism sector in Bali.n this case is the tourism sector in Bali.)

My idea is about combining Balinese culture and environment with sustainable fashion industry. I dream about creating a platform that can connect local fashion designers to utilize their talents and resources to create sustainable fashion products. I really want to see Bali as the world’s center of sustainable fashion that contributes significantly to environmental preservation and social welfare. We can study unique ideas from this Wikithon that concern reusing or recycling materials, introducing eco-friendly coloring techniques, or new approaches to durable fashion designs. Its relevance is very notable since tourism and fashion industries have created significant drawbacks to the island’s environment. We hope to find the best solutions to reduce the negative impacts. One of the ideas relevant to the future of Bali is to strengthen cooperation among local designers and traditional artists’ communities to increase traditional skills and local economy. In this Wikithon, I would like to put emphasis on our awareness towards the significance of buying sustainable fashion products and supporting local eco-friendly brands. I also hope to create innovative production ideas for less-trash fashion products and renewable energy uses. Bali’s uniqueness in culture and arts can be an inspiration for unique fashion designs and motives related to the island’s identity. In the scope of idea uniqueness, perhaps we can combine digital technology such as blockchain to be able to manage the supply chain and to prove the sustainability of Balinese fashion. This Wikithon can also be an opportunity to manage ethics and social responsibility in fashion industry, including to stop children labors and to strengthen employees’ work justice. I hope this Wikithon also involves local stakeholders such as the government, enterprises, and the people so that they can create synergy for sustainable Balinese fashion. In the far future, I hope Bali can be an example for other tourist destinations in developing sustainable fashion industry by considering beauty, culture, and environment. By strong cooperation and collaboration, I believe that Bali will be the leader in shaping the future of sustainable fashion in which the beauty of nature and cultural heritage are combined.nature and cultural heritage are combined.)
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF LOOKING FOR CHAMPIONS + (When February arrives, surely many people … When February arrives, surely many people are busy preparing for a big event called the Balinese Language Month (Bulan Bahasa Bali). Based on a circular letter from the provincial government, all villages and schools throughout Bali, are to carry out the Balinese Language Month (Bulan Bahasa Bali). There are various activities that can be carried out, such as competitions, festivals, seminars, literary appreciation stages related to Balinese language, literature and script. Usually the activities that are definitely held by the community are competitions. there are competitions for telling stories, giving speeches, developing mates, writing scripts, writing lontar, singing Balinese pop songs, and others. Through this competition, we can find out the potentials of the Balinese people in learning the Balinese language, especially children and teenagers. They are very skilled at speaking Balinese, so they can win the championship. Do people want to learn Balinese because they are asked to take part in a competition or is it just for the sake of winning? Hopefully not only because of that. The thing that is expected, the people of Bali want to learn Balinese language everyday, not just to get a champion. So that after winning, you don't stop learning Balinese. The most important thing is that we, as Balinese, do have an obligation so that the Balinese language, which is the root of Balinese culture, can be stable in the future. How to?

Examples such as the case of corruption of Paibon Wargi Temple development funds in Klungkung Regency and the case of corruption of SPI funds at the Udayana Campus.

Bali in equality + (Why are there so many phenomena when boys … Why are there so many phenomena when boys who are born are said to be safe and considered lucky, but if women are often said "yes, that's okay". It's just realistic that many people think that women have a lower position than men. What's the difference though? In religion women and men have the same role and position. Male and female elements, "purusa and pradana" are in human beings and are important in the process of creation. Women also have a triple role, they can have a household, they can work for a living, moreover they can be active with local residents. Mebraya, metanding, ngayah are common things that women do. If that's the case, why is it often said that only sons can continue offspring, right? Even though the system in Bali adheres to patriarchy, there is still such a thing as "nyentana" when a man lives in the household of his wife). The understanding of gender equality is very appropriate to be applied by all Balinese people. Women can still lead and take care of all the affairs and many jobs. It is time for a culture that follows religion to look at this in another way for the common good. “Pesu peluh meli taluh, eda kadena aluh dadi anak luh“.eli taluh, eda kadena aluh dadi anak luh“.)

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.

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.

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.

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. It is a search for beauty, mysticism, culture, folklore, very much related to daily life; the folklore our modern western society lost over the years.Born February 3, 1949, in EindhovenEducation in ceramics, window dressing, drawings, and paintingsWell known since the '80s through many exact portraitsHis paintings are unique through the expression of mysticism and sphere.

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.)

Arie Smit + (15 April 1916 – 23 March 2016. Dutch-born … 15 April 1916 – 23 March 2016. Dutch-born Indonesian painter who lived on Bali.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.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.BaliOn 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.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.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. Smit lived near Ubud for the rest of his life, but died on 23 March 2016 in a hospital Denpasar at three weeks before turning 100.enpasar at three weeks before turning 100.)

Moreover, social media and selfies dramatically impact lifestyles and alter our concept of identity. By recreating the nostalgia and curiosity of old Bali through manual, handmade photos, my objective is to reignite cultural memory while inspiring awareness and discussion among all the generations.”“My photography reflects the growing sentiment within the Balinese seeking a return to the wisdom of the past,” Gung Ama said. “In the face of modernity and the homogenisation of cultures, I believe it is important to celebrate and embrace cultural icons to help reinforce our identity.

Aji Janantaka + (Aji Janantaka is a mythical lontar which t … Aji 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.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.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.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.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.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.)
Aji Pari + (Aji Pari means ‘the spell of rice'. This l … Aji Pari means ‘the spell of rice'. This lontar is written in ancient Javanese and is one of the lontars which contains teachings about traditional agriculture. Aji Pari is in the same category as agricultural lontars such as Usada Taru Pramana, Aji Janantaka, Usada Carik, and so on.Aji Pari in general contains mantras about the greatness of rice from the time it is planted to post-harvest. This lontar is closely related to the Subak organization, which is thought to have existed since the ninth century. Within the Subak organization, there are many special ceremonies for rice starting from before planting to after harvest. In other words, rice is treated like a human undergoing developmental phases.Lontar Aji pari likens rice to a sacred tree which is a form of the goddess Sri (the goddess of prosperity) as a tree. Therefore, in each phase of rice development, it is given different names. Lontar Aji Pari revealed that traditional Balinese and Javanese people highly respect rice plants as the main source of food in an agrarian society.Based on what is contained in Aji Pari's lontar, it can be assumed that the rice seeds in Bali came from Java, to be precise during the Airlangga era or before. Perhaps at that time there were native Balinese rice species, but in allegory this lontar states that Bhatara Sri came from Kamulan (East Java). This indicates that there was a better breeding of rice species in East Java at that time, which was later developed in Bali as well.which was later developed in Bali as well.)
