• Paplajahan Ané Bakatang Tiang Uli Bali  + (While people visit Bali for a multitude of … While people visit Bali for a multitude of reasons this island is special to me as I have called it home for the last 3 years. Bali has taught me some lessons that I will keep with me in other stages of life.</br></br>An important lesson I’ve learned is that every place presents you with an opportunity to grow, you just need the courage to say yes! Bali gives everyone the opportunity to explore the outdoors (either in the mountains or underwater), and this gives everyone the chance to gain a new skill, make new friends or develop a love for the natural world. Recently, I have gotten the courage and determination to say yes to become a certified Open Water Diver.</br>This experience has been incredibly rewarding, as I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, my friendships grew with those I trained with and my eyes were opened to the beauty of the underwater world. With this opportunity, I realised how pressing the issues of coral bleaching and unsustainable fishing actually are and am now more determined to be a part of the solution. From this, I will join a coral restoration project in Les Village because no matter how small we contribute, every action makes a difference. We must think about the global implications yet, take action locally.</br></br>The Balinese open up their island to all of us, foreigners and Indonesians so we can experience the island’s beauty and it is crucial for us to not take this for granted. I realise that a society which hugely depends on tourism has a risk, therefore respecting the customs and traditions in Bali should be a no brainer, as we would hope and expect the same of others if they are visiting our home. As of 25th March 2023, 76 foreigners have been deported from</br></br>Bali for reasons that range from overstaying visas to committing crimes. Although this is a small percentage compared to the number of tourists, in this digital era, their actions go viral and can harm the image of Bali. While Bali is well-known for its tourism because of its beauty, kindness and approachability, I believe that rules should be enforced in order to maintain the quality of tourism that this island offers.</br></br>Moreover, during my time here I’ve come to realise that it’s important to diversify and not put all our eggs in the same basket. During the pandemic, tourism was at a standstill which hit the people and local economy dramatically. Therefore, the Balinese have adapted to diversify their work portfolio such as farming, establishing small businesses or fishing. This lesson will carry on with me in the future, because it has shown me that trying different opportunities will help us to continue growing and adapting to an ever changing world.</br></br>I will continue to learn more lessons in Bali and am grateful for all the opportunities and experiences that I’ve gotten alongside the lessons that have come with it.ngside the lessons that have come with it.)

Based on the latest international news, the war between Russia and Ukraine is still going on today (Wednesday, May 18, 2022) and has entered the 84th day.

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.

This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.</br></br>“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.”</br></br>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.”</br></br>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.</br></br>“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.”</br></br>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.”)

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.

We can learn Balinese at home using our cell phone. We can learn Balinese through applications.</br> An example is the BASAbali Wiki dictionary application which can be downloaded and used for free. In addition, the BASAbali Wiki dictionary provides 3 introductory languages, namely English, Indonesian and Balinese and is equipped with Indonesian and English translations. Which makes it easier for many people, both domestic and foreign, to learn Balinese language and culture.

• Arie Smit  + (15 April 1916 – 23 March 2016. Dutch-born … 15 April 1916 – 23 March 2016. 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. 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.)
• Preserving and Modernizing Balinese Culture Before Maligia Marebu Bumi  + (50 years later. Bali will be welcoming its … 50 years later. Bali will be welcoming its 2000th saka year, and around this year, Bali will be celebrating its biggest ceremony ever. Apart from Eka Dasa Rudra, Bali will welcome the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony which is held once every 1000 years, every last three digits of the Saka year reach 0. However, judging from the current condition of Balinese culture, it is now increasingly dim. Will the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony still hold Balinese culture? Because many young people have left Balinese culture, forgetting the Balinese language. Then how. I hope the government can listen to my advice. My suggestion is that the government must infuse Balinese culture to young people, by developing the entertainment industry. Countries like Japan and Korea can maintain their culture because young people watch their own culture. Most young people in Indonesia, especially in Bali watch foreign films and play foreign entertainment with a foreign culture, so that young Balinese have an interest in foreign cultures, and end up having the dream of wanting to live in a foreign country. If the government wants to develop the entertainment industry, then young people will be aware of the culture they have, so they will aspire to develop their own country. In addition to solving internal problems, the entertainment industry is very profitable. With this, Balinese culture will be increasingly recognized by the world and its influence can match Japanese and Korean culture. Then can this be realized? The Entertainment Industry can be anything, such as Movies, Animation, Games, Songs, Etc. Many Balinese HR talents are suitable for this, such as painters who will create 2D graphic designs, City People who are talented with Coding, and Undagi or Sculptors who will create 3D designs. because at this time, it is time for us to modernize our culture so that it can be accepted by our younger generation, even the world by our younger generation, even the world)

Born in 1958 in Denpasar, he grew up attending Balinese rituals and brings an insider’s knowledge to his subjects. As is evident in his images, he has been given special unimpeded access and privileged positions and angles. It’s highly unlikely that a Western photographer would ever be allowed to enter sacred inner courtyards and get this close to a venerable high priest.</br>His subjects appear at ease and revealing of their inner emotions.
