Among these are time, death, performing arts, and specific deities in Hinduism, Javanese and Balinese mythologies. Yet, despite the many origin stories, there is a connecting thread that Kala is all of those manifestations. However, in this Collaboration, Kala is our canvas. Here Kala is defined specifically through her manifestation as TIME. Kala is experienced through the conceptual portraits of the two Guardians representing our Earthly World and our Spiritual World. The portraits of the Guardians of Earth and Spirit were created through a combination of installations and the photography of Dewi Dian and ManButur Suantara. The paintings of Nyoman Handi respond to the questions and reflections raised by the Guardian portraits.lections raised by the Guardian portraits.)

Cultural Studies is not the study of culture, but its critique which deconstructs culture as misrepresenting actuality as an Imaginary convenient to regimes of power. The New Order articulated ‘kebudayaan’ to create a submissive populace happy to embrace global tourism. Culture is no longer how how people do things but marketable commodities posturing as ‘ancient tradition’. Bali as paradise is a cliché. The island now fulfils Madame Suharto’s dream of Disneyland. The capitalist fantasy of endless cost-free growth bears no resemblance to the sophisticated Balinese cosmology of Kali-Yuga, which ends in cataclysmic dissolution; or to popular ideas of the world as ceaseless transforming. Although kebudayaan dismisses ordinary people as stupid masses, they often escape the ideological straitjacket of kebudayaan by just getting on with culture as everyday life. getting on with culture as everyday life.)

Therefore, this article aimsto discuss two things,: (1) tracing the translated works produced by IGB Sugriwa; (2) the translation model developed by IGB Sugriwa in the Kakawin Rāmatantra. To achieve this goal, this article uses the methods of providing data, analyzing data, and presenting the results of the analysis. At the stage of providing data, observation and interview methods were used to find the translated works of IGB Sugriwa. Furthermore, IGB Sugriwa's translations were classified according to genre and Kakawin Rāmatantra was analyzed to find the translation model developed by IGB Sugriwa. Based on this analysis, this article finds that IGB Sugriwa has translated 13 literary works. Translated works are included in literature such as Kakawin Dharma Shunya (1954), Kakawin Sutasoma (1956), Bharata Yuddha (1958), Kakawin Ramayana (1960), Kakawin Arjuna Wiwaha (1961) and Kakawin Rāmatantra(t.t). Meanwhile, the translation works included in the speech are Sang Hyang Kamahayanikan (1957) and Sarasamuccaya (1967). Meanwhile, IGB Sugriwa was also quite productive in translating texts related to traditional Balinese historiography across clans such as the Babad Pasek (1957), Babad Blahbatuh (1958), Dwijendra Tattwa (1967), Babad Pasek Kayu Selem (tt), and the Pande Inscription.

In the application of the otonomy, local community has an opportunity to preserve their social cultural values as their identity of their community. Balinese can basically be recognised by their language (phonic form) they use as well as their traditions (physical forms) they practice. These aspects are commonly used as a symbol of identity by the Balinese ethnic community nationally and internationally. This symbol needs to be maintained for the shake of the Balinese community preservation. The purpose of this study is to explain the position of Balinese Language in the global era as a symbol of identity for the community. The study focuses on the description of the Balinese identity related to the Balinese language. One function of language is as symbol of identity. Balinese has this role for its community and it is also a pride. This condition can be proven by the development of the use of the Balinese language in time. At the present time Balinese has their function as a mean for expressing their cultural aspects. However, in this global era, the Balinese language develops naturally in line with the need of the user. The internal as well as the external problems of the language use in Balinese community need to be identified in order to find out the solution for maintaining the language, in turn the language itself is still continually function as a symbol of Balinese community.unction as a symbol of Balinese community.)

Aditya Parama Setiaboedi + (About this work Aditya explains In NOW Bal … About this work Aditya explains In NOW Bali magazine: “I have no manual skills of drawing and painting, my creativity developed within the design field. I became interested in graphic design at school as the technology I learned easily, and I perceived this as a career opportunity,” Aditya told me. “When the pandemic began, I was unsure what to do. I began following a collective of artists from Jakarta, IZZY, on the Internet who streamed information about 3-dimensional digital art. This offered me new insights, triggering my imagination to the possibility of fresh creative expressions. I became dedicated to understanding 3D animation from free open-source platforms.”“Digital art rarely enters the normal art world and is mostly focused upon design and advertising. NFTs exist in an exciting and rapidly evolving decentralised and democratic art world, which eliminates the middleman. Anybody can become an artist or collector,” Aditya explained. “I have learned by watching online and joining Indonesian and international communities. I, therefore, do not need to enter the conventional Bali and Indonesian art worlds.”“I have minted (the process of uploading digital works onto blockchain platforms for sale) over fifteen NFTs and sold more than 10 works. I have sold one exclusive NFT on the ETH platform for 0.1ETH the equivalent of USD $300 and am making series of ten works. More than five of my series have sold out at the price of 3 Tezos, a cryptocurrency valued at about $5 for 1 Tezos. In addition, I have sold two NFTs on the secondary market and received royalties. The royalty mechanism is the advantage of NFTs over conventional art which exists in a domain rife with dishonest practices and at the highest tier is flushed with fake work.”“Many see NFTs as simply a cash grab. The technology is in its infancy, is unregulated, yet allows opportunities to create new artistic expressions and earn money.“ “When you talk to a human in 2035, you’ll be talking to someone that’s a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence,” says American futurist and Google’s Director of Engineering Ray Kurzweil. “I have set the date 2045 for the ‘Singularity’ which is when we will multiply our effective intelligence a billion fold by merging with the intelligence we have created.”“I seek to create unique NFTs with references to Bali to provide an alternative for the crypto art market,” he stated. “I believe what is important is artists and creatives learning about new technologies and the growing array of opportunities available to them. Such as new expressive genres, reaching new audiences and securing alternative income streams.” and securing alternative income streams.”)
Arie Smit + (Article from Bali Post newspaper May 1980 … Article from Bali Post newspaper May 1980Bali Post English Edition, May 1980Conversation with Arie SmitThe name is synonymous for many with the 'Young Artist' movement of Penestanan, Ubud- a name that inevitably crops up when one studies the modern evolution of Balinese art. Some people feel that the introduction of the 'Young Artist' movement has only led to a crass form of art whose only merit is commercial, others feel that it is too 'un Balinese'.Arie Smit himself doesn't elaborate much on his role in initiating this new school of art, he considers his role as that of a mere 'suggester'. He implies that he never taught the 'Young Artist's any fundamental concepts or techniques, insisting that he works not on "putting in but bringing out". He claims that he is more interested in the mental states and environment that influence art, the people and the culture that characterise it.His romance with the imagery of Bali is on-going: "Bali is a bulwark of images" and though he admits that this source of inspiration is eventually limited, he cannot shake his passion for it. Perhaps this is a direct result of his philosophy of art, a philosophy that has been tested and refined over the many years that he has spent in Indonesia (he became an Indonesian citizen in 1951).His fascination with Balinese imagery is linked with his interest in 'Child Art'. Fittingly his contribution to Bali has been to provide a vehicle for Naive Art in the ‘Young Artist’ movement.To explain the beginnings and motives for this he takes us back to the Fifties when he was in Bandung. At the time he was working for the Publishing house "Masa Baru” as a lithographer. One of his colleagues was the Dutch born Rina Marsman, a remarkable woman who had once tutored Queen Wilhelmina’s children in exile during WWII.Her extensive knowledge in the field of education led involvement in the area in Indonesia, a country she had learned to love. Rina Marsman had the foresight to include a formidable library of books on the subject amongst the possessions she brought to Indonesia. Arie Smit took full advantage of this opportunity to plunge into books on education and “child art”.Prompted by her, he began working part time teaching members of the Yayasan Beribu organization (made up of influential society women of the time) in education techniques. The Yayasan Beribu was chaired by Mrs. Mary Effendy Saleh, whose husband was in charge of Indonesia's railroads at the time. Rina Marsman was bringing the latest education techniques to this group who in turn were to teach children.In the spare time that he had Arie Smit managed to paint. Out of this set of circumstances grew the first real momentum towards the 'Young Artists'. At one point he was teaching lithography to Bandung's ITB (Technical Institute) students - and through this decided to mount an exhibition there. Via his contact with Mrs. Saleh he managed to distribute art materials to the children of railway workers. "These children drew what they saw around them, and the realities that they lived with. Children can only draw what they have experienced, their own mental environment - and it's spontaneous, non-intellectual...". It fascinated him to see the readiness with which children drew their world, the power of their observation - "there were locomotives, carriages, derailments (it was during the Darul Islam terrorist times), and we noticed that although fundamentally the same there were slight differences between the girls and the boys: the girls would sometimes put in a nurse!" The exhibition was a success. Again when staying near Puncak on the Jakarta-Bandung route he would notice how the village children had 'spontaneously' acquired a catalogue-like knowledge of motor vehicle makes and specifications. He set about experimenting, providing these children with art materials. Once more there was a spontaneous outpouring of the details of their environment, the same overwhelming power of observation. He undertook these experiments wherever he went in Indonesia.When he first arrived in Ball in 1956 he followed the same pattern. It proved to be a surprise: "It just all came pouring out. As there were no cars, ships, etc. then, they naturally drew what was in their environment. But the quality of their imagination was fantastic, the scope of the Balinese children was tremendous: dances, witches, cremations...” He noticed an emphasis on religion and ceremony, a factor he attributed to the wealth of the culture. But for him the most surprising aspect of these drawings was not the subject matter: “They did not depict objects from their immediate environment, or what was static in their surroundings, they almost always drew or painted what was about to happen. They were always anticipating events to come, such as the cremation next week or the dance the following night..” In all his experiments this 'anticipation' was unique to Bali: the tendency of children's imagination to project into the future.It was precisely this type of exotic material that was to prove of interest to foreigners in Indonesia. In 1960 Arie Smit chose Penestanan as the site for his major ‘experiment’, the ‘Young Artist’ movement. It was a poor village virtually owned by neighbouring landowners who used their labor. Arie Smit began by bartering their first paintings for art materials from foreigners working in Jakarta. “During Sukarno's time art supplies were almost impossible to obtain - this source of supplies was vital to the movement". It grew and grew, and other intermediaries began to play a more active role in the marketing (Jimmy Pandy was one who in Arie's memory was most helpful). On the other hand others had to be convinced and won over - yet when these dealers finally started marketing Young Artists they were surprised to see it become one of the fastest selling itemsAn exhibition in Jakarta several weeks after Gunung Agung erupted was a roaring success, partly because Bali was the focus of public sympathy at the time. For Arie Smit it was a relief to get away from the marketing once things were rolling along by themselves - he never relished the role of salesman. "But it was mainly the diligence and industriousness of these painters that kept me going, I felt that I couldn't let them down.”Despite the fact that the movement has now proliferated tremendously ("Nowadays even an expert would have a hard time wading through all these paintings”) he feels that the best of the Young Artist remain the same 40 that he started off - though they are hardly young anymore.Getting back to 'child art’ Arie states again that all naive painting is a spontaneous, symbolic rendering of the ‘environment’ of the painter. He points out that the Balinese have a tremendous power or vision, and feels that they have no need to work from models or to do life sketches. Arie feels that human beings were never the all-important center of the Balinese Cosmos, and says that the renaissance emphasis on man as the center of the Universe is completely foreign to the Balinese. Thus, at least for Arie Smit, the Young Artist is closer to real Balinese art than the art of those influenced by Bonnet: According to him the 'real Balinese' art is embodied in the paintings that came out of Batuan during the Thirties - the depiction of the various different worlds, the symbolic style. Young Artists, by painting from their own imagination in an essentially symbolic style are closer to this Balinese concept of art than any other ‘modern movement’.One of the important traits of ‘child art’ is the exemption of the intellectualization process - Arie worked mainly with young people under the age of 17, the age around which he says "comes an intellectual crisis. The intellect interferes with the direct expression of the imagination, sometimes to the point where hesitation blocks the expression completely." How did the children of the 60's, the young Artists of Penestanan, cope with growing up?He admits that they ran into a couple of crisis points, where ‘intellectual’ concepts began to interfere with their free expression.Despite his principle of non-interference he finally was compelled to step in: "I watched if for some time, letting it go. But at a certain point I had to re-suggest, to re-affirm their confidence in their own power of vision”.He is obsessed with the ‘power of Balinese vision' - the ability to absorb details, the power of the imagination to recall.When one questions the apparent stagnation of Balinese art, especially that of the Young Artists he admits that there is a need for new directions, not only now but continually. "But total freedom of expression is not an Asian trait. Asians, including Balinese, are more concerned with achieving perfection through repetition."He thinks that this maybe the reason that so many Western Art. movements run dry so quickly, because of the tremendous pressure to create something new all the time, every time! To the oriental there is no such stigma attached to repetition. His work with the Balinese has been one of careful balance between new inspiration and tradition, it was never easy. And not always welcome: once when residing in Ubud at Puri Kaleran, he tried to initiate some girls into painting. "It was back in the Fifties. Some of the girls were quite talented - but unfortunately the banjar community objected." Not only was painting not a woman's role, but for these young maidens to be working in the house of a bachelor was out of the question!Rio Helmiachelor was out of the question! Rio Helmi)
Alexander R. Cuthbert + (Bali is a global tourist destination havin … Bali is a global tourist destination having had the added descriptor paradise for most of the last century. But it is now transparent to most visitors that serious problems prevail across the entire local economy and built environment. The incoherence of development is largely to blame. Given the failure to generate a new Balinese architecture that matches the integrity of the old, Balinese urbanists are now caught in a Gordian knot where a unified traditional architecture remains, yet a new architecture is not forthcoming. How to untie the knot is the question. Architecture suffered major discontinuity when traditional building was largely abandoned in the face of progressive urbanization. The problem remains unresolved. The following paper represents a preliminary attempt to expose key issues. It suggests methods of moving forward. But a new momentum demands a new philosophy in the realm of urban theory, the foundation of all professional activity. No significant progress can take place without it. My attention is therefore directed to answering the question how can the transition be made from traditional Balinese architecture emerging from the dynamics of feudalism, to its conscious translation and accommodation within post-modernity, informational capitalism, and globalization? While the problem needs tackled at several levels – education, policy, strategy and enforcement, I suggest in conclusion that these should be framed within generic principles derived from vernacular transformations, a culture of critical Balinese regionalism, and an adaptation of the New Urbanist lexicon to a tropical environment.rbanist lexicon to a tropical environment.)
Brett Hough + (Bali’s history is made up of many contradi … Bali’s history is made up of many contradictions. Some of these are intrinsic to Balinese culture and society; others are due to the experience of colonisation by the Dutch and the result of incorporation into the nation-state of Indonesia. Others still stem from forces of modernisation, globalisation, tourism and consumerism. The authors of Bali’s Silent Crisis: Desire, Tragedy and Transition highlight these contradictions to reveal underlying problems that continue to shape, influence and in certain ways, haunt daily life in Bali. They contend that these forces and associated changes have resulted in deep psychological and cultural trauma that remains largely unacknowledged – hence a ‘silent crisis’ – and runs counter to the discourse of Bali as a paradise.The authors have lived and worked in Indonesia over many years, with much of that time in Bali. With academic backgrounds in cultural studies and health promotion they bring an interesting perspective to their subject and display an obvious concern for the long-term psychological health of Balinese caught up in the profound processes of change, violence, and desire that are encapsulated in the subtitle of their book. From the outset we get a very strong sense of their motivation in researching and writing the book and their commitment to Balinese friends and colleagues. It is clear they have a great deal of affection for their subjects and come to their conclusions based on a long-term engagement with Bali.The full review of the book is available in: https://www.insideindonesia.org/review-bali-s-silent-crisis?highlight=WyJiYWxpIiwiYmFsaSdzIiwiJ2JhbGkiLCJiYWxpJyIsImJhbGknLiIsIidiYWxpJ3MiLCJiYWxpJywiLCJiYWxpcycuIl0%3DIidiYWxpJ3MiLCJiYWxpJywiLCJiYWxpcycuIl0%3D)

Ida Ketut Djelantik + (Geguritan Sucita-Subudi is one of his work … Geguritan Sucita-Subudi is one of his works that is known to many people, why is that? Because this geguritan contains Balinese cultural concepts such as Dharma, Tri Hita Karana, Kala Patra Village, Rwa Bhineda, and Karmaphala. Dharma is one of the important concepts in Hinduism. Dharma is often equated with truth, virtue or duty and law. Dharma is likened to a smooth and very cool path that can protect and help people who follow that path from disaster. One who practices the Dharma is called "Dharmika". People who practice dharma only want one thing that is eternal and eternal happiness not the false happiness caused by worldly things. Tri Hita Karana is the concept of harmonious relationship that can bring happiness. The harmony of the relationship includes three things, namely the harmony of human relations with God, the harmony of human relations with fellow humans and the harmony of human relations with the surrounding natural environment. In the Geguritan Sucita-Subudi, the concept of harmony between humans and God is called an unreal or spiritual relationship, while the concept of harmony between humans and humans and the relationship between humans and the natural environment. Rwa Bhineda is a dualistic concept that reflects two opposite categories in life, such as good and bad or positive and negative. In the Geguritan Sucita-Subudhi, this concept is explained implicitly or indirectly in the expression in something called "Byakta" or something that exists always contains two things that unite. This concept implies that in this world nothing is perfect except God. Everything has advantages and disadvantages at the same time.Karmaphala is one of the five belief systems in Hinduism called Panca Sradha. Karmaphala comes from the words karma 'action' and phala 'fruit' which is defined as the result of one's actions. The essence of the notion of karmaphala is that a cause will produce an effect. Geguritan Sucita-Subudi consists of 1841 stanzas. Of the many stanzas that are formed by 11 kinds of pupuh. The eleven kinds of pupuh are Sinom, Pangkur, Durma, Ginanda, Ginanti, Kumambang, Warga-sari, Pucung, Semarandhana, and Sadpada Ngisep Sekar. Among these pupuh the most frequently used is the Sinom pupuh, which is 15 times. The use of these pupuhs in the Geguritan Sucita-Subudi is selected and adjusted between the duties or character of each pupuh.een the duties or character of each pupuh.)

Various ways have been done to prevent this virus but because for so long this virus has caused the condition of society to be increasingly destroyed due to not working, according to the economy, many people have committed crimes because of the many criminal acts that have occurred in Indonesia.
