  • Sentuhan Kritis: Menolak Penyatuan Budaya dan Politik demi kebebasan Identitas  + (OM Swastyastu, Let us reflect together on OM Swastyastu,</br>Let us reflect together on the impact of forced cultural and political unification, especially in the context of the ban on celebrating the Balinese holiday of Pengrupukan during elections. This coercion can create outrage by harming cultural practices that are integral to people's lives. So, to what extent should we give up cultural celebrations in favor of often questionable political interests? Governments, especially local governments, should be smarter in understanding and protecting cultural heritage as a community right. Only with wiser policies, considering cultural values, can we create true harmony and genuine peace.</br></br>The prohibition of historic culture is not simply a religious or cultural matter, but involves the right of communities to practice their traditions without intrusive interference. I strongly emphasize the urgency of incisive dialogue, unequivocal respect, and a policy full of sarcasm to respond to issues like the Pengrupukan ban. Only through this approach can harmony between culture and politics be truly realized. The government should not only listen, but also act swiftly for the survival of such a precious cultural heritage. </br></br>Whoever is elected, let them not only drown in the pleasure of being in power, but also introspect that cultural diversity is not a toy that can be trampled on. A wise leader is not just good at talking, but is able to defend the cultural wealth of the homeland, not destroy it for the sake of narcissistic personal ambition. So, let's choose leaders who not only know how to play politics, but also understand the art of maintaining harmony in diversity.</br></br>Thank you, OM Santhi, Santhi, Santhi OM.

  • Pikobet Peplajahan ring Sisya Tuli  + (OM Swastyastu, OM Ano Bhadrah Kratavo VyānOM Swastyastu,</br>OM Ano Bhadrah Kratavo Vyāntu Vicva Taḥ’</br>“May auspicious thoughts come from all directions.”</br></br>Dear future leaders of Bali.</br>Education is the initial provision for achieving goals. Every citizen has the right to education in accordance with Article 31 Paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution. The citizens in question are everyone without exception, men, women, children, adults, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Obtaining the right to education is the responsibility of all parties. Parents are obliged to provide basic education to their children. The implementation of education is carried out by the government through the Education Office, both general, special and inclusive education. Now the question is, has the government provided proper access for people with disabilities? The answer is no, brothers and sisters.</br></br>I invite you to focus on deafness. There are so many obstacles for deaf people when continuing their education in higher education because access is not properly provided. Campuses accept deaf students, but do not provide appropriate access, so they cannot study properly. Another contributing factor is the use of SIBI (Indonesian Sign Language System) in primary and secondary education. SIBI is confusing for deaf learners and not deaf culture. SIBI is made by hearing people who use Indonesian vocabulary patterns so that deaf people cannot understand the context discussed. According to Ade Wirawan, a deaf activist in Bali, the forced use of SIBI results in Language Deprivation which has an impact on the cognitive development of deaf children and students.</br></br>The solution to the forced use of SIBI is to use Bisindo (Indonesian Sign Language) which is a natural language that emerges and develops in the deaf community. Bisindo is a representation of deaf culture so it is strongly fought for by deaf communities, organizations and activists. Regarding the use of Bisindo in educational units, the government has played a role in deaf education with the issuance of Government Regulation No. 13 of 2020 concerning proper accommodation for students with disabilities, especially for deaf or hard of hearing disabilities listed in Article 15. Furthermore there is a Circular Letter from the Directorate General of Community Education and Special Education on September 23, 2021, regarding the widespread use of Bisindo in special education units for the deaf or deaf community in the wider community. PP No. 13/2020 and the above circular are in accordance with Law No. 8/2016 on disability. However, the implementation has not gone according to its purpose. Many have not provided proper accommodation for students or teachers who master sign language in a complex manner.</br></br>Things that Bali’s future leaders should realize for equal access to education for deaf students are:</br>1. Adjust the curriculum according to the needs of the deaf.</br>2. Provide an introduction to deaf disabilities to teachers at the elementary school level to serve as a guideline in order to provide teaching in an appropriate manner. </br>3. Provide training to improve complex sign language skills and linguistic understanding of sign language for teachers.</br></br>Bali’s future leaders, let’s work together to address these barriers to education, and fix them immediately. Otherwise, the chain of problems will continue to take root and create more complex barriers. Elections are the perfect venue to fix this long-standing problem.</br> </br>Are you the right person to lead Bali? Are you able to approach the deaf community? Can you fulfill the demands of the deaf community?</br></br>OM Shantih Santhi Santhi OMaf community? OM Shantih Santhi Santhi OM)

Evidence that this waste has an impact is that many Balinese people are affected by diseases due to this waste, such as dengue fever, skin infections and other diseases.</br></br>What caused the pile of rubbish was because the landfill in Suwung was hit by a fire outbreak due to Bali's hot climate and the community could not accommodate the rubbish at the Suwung landfill, this caused people to throw rubbish in their respective homes. In this outbreak, I hope that the leaders in Bali 2024 will pay more attention to waste in Bali, so that they can provide a clean and comfortable place for the Balinese people.</br></br>Come on, all Yowana, we have to protect and preserve the Balinese environment, don't throw rubbish in places that are not places to throw rubbish, we have to preserve the 3M steps (Closing water storage places), (Draining the bathtub once every 7 days), (Reusing things used).</br>That's all I can say, more or less I apologize, at the end I say sorry, I close with Parama Shanti, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.ama Shanti, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.)

We can gather in good health at the WIKITHON Public Participation event with the theme Bali Oration.</br></br>Dear audience,</br>On this occasion, allow me to deliver an oration entitled SIRBATA (Underground Parking System) as a Solution for Arranging Parking Lots on the Island of Bali.</br></br>Parking can be interpreted as the activity of placing a vehicle in a certain place for a certain period of time. Parking lots are facilities used to support the parking needs of vehicle users. Parking lots can be divided into two, on-street parking and off-street parking.</br></br>The majority of Indonesian people, especially on the island of Bali, use private vehicles as the main transportation. As time goes by, the use of private vehicles by Balinese people continues to increase. Based on data from the Bali Province Central Statistics Agency, total private vehicle users in 2022 will increase to 4,079,617 for motorbikes and 493,887 for passenger cars. This increase will certainly have an impact on the community's need for arranging parking spaces to accommodate the increasing number of private vehicles.</br></br>As we know, several areas in Bali often find inappropriate use of land as parking spaces, such as roads and sidewalks. This will of course give rise to various problems, namely worsening the road structure and narrowing the traffic area. This is a result of the lack of parking arrangement. Therefore, we propose a system that can be used to overcome parking lot management problems, namely SIRBATA.</br></br>SIRBATA (Underground Parking System) is a solution that can be used regarding the problem of arranging parking lots on the island of Bali. This system utilizes the potential of the underground area as a parking area. SIRBATA also optimizes the parking capacity of a space, because of course the use of underground parking will be more focused on one function without disturbing other functions such as the use of parking spaces on roads and sidewalks. The underground parking system has several advantages compared to using open parking lots, namely, parked vehicles can be protected from hot or rainy weather conditions and of course vehicle safety is better maintained.</br></br>This system may sound difficult to realize because of the costs and various permits required to ensure the safety of its users, but it is the government's duty to help overcome this problem. The government must be able to work on all factors that support the realization of this system. Imagine if this was not realized from now on. As time goes by and the use of private vehicles continues to increase, we will reach a condition where many things will have their function disrupted due to a lack of good parking arrangements. For example, roads will become increasingly congested because many people park on the road, sidewalks that should function as a place to walk are used as parking spaces. Therefore, SIRBATA (Underground Parking System) can be used as a solution for arranging parking lots in Bali.</br></br>Let's work together to create better arrangements for the realization of a safe, comfortable and conducive Bali. Through the cooperation of various parties, we can definitely realize an underground parking system.</br></br>Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Omarking system. Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om)

Because basically tourism is travel undertaken for recreation and entertainment.</br></br>We all know that the island of Bali is an island of a thousand islands, which is famous in foreign countries for the beauty of its flora and fauna.</br>But behind all that there is a problem that the government must find a solution for in the future regarding tourists who come to tourist attractions in the area of holy places that are arbitrary. Like many tourists taking photos at the temple by climbing the temple pelinggih, not being responsive to Balinese culture, insulting Balinese culture such as committing adultery in a holy place, being reckless on the road, not wearing a helmet, changing motorbike plates and hiding his identity visa so he can work in Bali .</br></br></br>And it's no surprise that the presence of tourists disturbs local communities.</br></br>This is a serious problem that leaders must address in the future, enforcing the rules for tourism to Bali. Give more consideration to tourists who work in Bali, because as far as I know there are still many local people who are unemployed, perhaps the existence of these wise regulations can help local people get jobs and be more considerate of tourists who open jobs in Bali even though they are not citizens.in Bali even though they are not citizens.)

They are silent witnesses to important events that shape our identity.

  • Utamayang Bansos Nenten Medsos  + (Om Swastyastu, Poverty is a social probleOm Swastyastu,</br></br>Poverty is a social problem that needs to be addressed so that all people can get at least a decent living. As written in article 33 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution which states that "the poor and neglected children are cared for by the state". However, in reality there are still many poor people, homeless people and underprivileged people who still live below the poverty line and do not even receive proper assistance. Gianyar Regency is one of the regions that has a relatively high poverty rate of 1.38 percent, while in Bali province the poverty rate is 0.54 percent.</br></br>It has been proven that there are still many beggars begging around shops, some of them even carry small children around to get money. Apart from that, there are small children selling tissue along the main road without proper supervision. Of course, this endangers the order and comfort of society and themselves. So, further treatment is needed regarding the problem of poverty. one of the efforts offered is providing social assistance evenly, social assistance is assistance in the form of money, goods or services to individuals, families, groups and poor communities who are unable and vulnerable to social risks. Even though the provision of social assistance from the government has been implemented, its distribution has not been carried out evenly, as evidenced by the still high level of community poverty in Gianyar district.</br></br>So the step that can be taken is to initiate open inspections when social assistance is distributed from the central government to underprivileged communities so that the assistance provided is not just a symbolic or image attempt by irresponsible individuals. These individuals often use assistance measures as an effort to get attention and praise from the public via social media without thinking about the truth of what is happening on the ground. If the provision of social assistance is uneven, of course there is something that is not right in the process. For example, in December 2023, hundreds of proposals for social assistance grants submitted by the community to the 2023 Gianyar Regency Government had not been disbursed, even though representatives of the community whose social assistance proposals had not been disbursed had visited the Gianyar Regency Government but did not receive clear follow-up action, so the disbursement of the social assistance had not occurred. accomplished.</br></br>By holding open or transparent inspections, it is hoped that the entire process of distributing social assistance will be known to the community clearly, rather than being an empty effort and hope for the community. Apart from that, social institutions can visit communities in remote areas that are far from the reach of information so that they also receive equal and equitable assistance. It is appropriate for institutions with authority in the social sector to take action against problems that occur in society appropriately and must be accountable. Don't just prioritize your image on social media to get attention and votes from the public.</br></br>Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om.the public. Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om.)
  • Hak Masyarakat Adat Baik Kemajuan dan Kelestarian Adat Terjaga  + (Om Swastyastu, My deepest respect to all tOm Swastyastu,</br>My deepest respect to all the judges.</br>My respects to the BASAbali Wiki team</br>My respects to all participants of the Public Participation Wikithon,</br>Allow me to speak a little on the issue of indigenous peoples’ rights. My name is I Komang Sapa. I am from the lava world of Karangasem, I live on the slopes of Bali’s most majestic Mount Agung, in Jungutan Village.</br></br>As Indonesian citizens, indigenous peoples should have equal rights in terms of land ownership, economic activities, as well as social rights. However, the Job Creation Law (Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja), especially the article on investment ownership as a step to opening new jobs, could backfire on the rights of indigenous peoples or people living in villages.</br></br>The Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago (AMAN) believes that the Job Creation Law (Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja) can pave the way for investors who will run their businesses and process natural resources. However, it will be a problem that can make the people in the village lose. Because people in indigenous villages still make a living through customary land, forests, rice fields and others. Not only is it used as a place to make a living, there are also those who live, make pindik (a local dish), or use the land as a place to build a house. What’s more, since the process of creating the Job Creation Bill started, indigenous peoples have not been included in discussions, even though the people in the village are the most affected.</br></br>Well, people, because there are different interests here, between indigenous peoples and investors, the government faces a dilemma, when passing this Indigenous Peoples Bill. For example, in the case of the Natural Tourism Park (TWA) in Batur, Kintamani, Bangli, there are still parties from the indigenous community or in the village who feel disadvantaged by the arrival of investors.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, why do we have to speak out about this situation? It is because, as the next generation of the nation, we must participate in preserving the culture, cultural values that have long been the identity of the nation. Especially in the current times, it is very important that we participate and agree in preserving traditional values. This is not just about preserving our traditional heritage, but also about educating our character and morals as human beings who are easily exposed to foreign influences. Also, we must strengthen adat (indigenous laws), recognize the rights of these indigenous peoples, protect, respect and fulfill their human rights.</br></br>My hope is for prospective leaders to solve this problem quickly through policies that really make the Indigenous Village sustainable even though there are investors who come in to participate in developing the area so that it becomes stronger. Likewise, the government must come to the Indigenous Village, discuss with the community there before issuing permits, let alone policies.</br></br>Okay, that’s all I can say to all of you. If there are any mistakes in my speech, please forgive me. In closing, I end with parama santhi.</br></br>Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.ma santhi. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.)
  • Sapunapi utsaha pamerintah antuk nepasin pikobet macet ring Bali?  + (Om Swastyastu, Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb., PeOm Swastyastu, Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb., Peace be upon us all, Shalom, Namo Buddhaya, Greetings of Virtue, Thank you to all readers who will read this speech of mine. I, Cellin Aulia Nur Shendi Ansyah, a second year student of SMA Negeri 2 Abiansemal, will give a speech about the steps the government must take to overcome the congestion problem in Bali.</br></br>The problem of congestion is a condition that often occurs in various places, especially in Bali. This can cause public discomfort. But it is also undeniable that this congestion can also have an impact on something else such as the economy and the environment.</br></br>Traffic jams that occur in several places cause wasted time of road users because in traffic jams it takes several minutes or even hours to be able to cross the road to their destination. Not only that, if a businessman experiences congestion problems on his way to his client, it is possible for conflicts between the businessman and clients who want to cooperate. Thus, the economic impact is also affected by the problem of traffic jams. Even if using public transportation will also cause problems in time efficiency because, public transportation will stop at many stops (Halte) so it is considered by some people that the use of public transportation will only slow down the journey to the destination.</br></br>The second environment, congestion if it occurs for a long period of time will cause pollution pollution in the air due to vehicle fumes used by motorists, both motorbikes and cars. This is because vehicle exhaust fumes emit gases that are harmful to the environment, namely in the form of CO gas or carbon monoxide which is one of several types of greenhouse gases. This gas can not only pollute the environment and respiratory organs of humans or living things but can deplete the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere.</br></br>To overcome congestion we must actively participate in maintaining the impact of congestion by helping government programs. However, the prohibition on people to buy vehicles is not a solution for people to use public transportation, because in the past Bali had had Trans Sarbagita public transportation, then now Trans Metro Dewata and some services that are not in such a form. However, public transportation did not go well as expected. So, the government should let people buy as many vehicles as possible, but only one is used. Thus the government still gets vehicle taxes. So, it is actually not a problem for people to buy many vehicles but their use must be regulated. In addition, the government must also plan sustainable programs for smart urban planning and develop alternative routes and widening roads as an effort to overcome congestion problems so that traffic flow is more efficient. In addition, the government has the right to build other public transportation systems such as LRT (Light Rail Transit) as an effort to solve congestion problems.</br></br>This important way should also not be forgotten is to provide socialization to the community about the importance of minimizing the use of private transportation because using it can have a big impact on other drivers, the environment, and even globally. The public, allowed to have many vehicles, it's just that in their use they must follow the rules, which is enough for one to be used.</br></br>Then, what about foreign tourists who are traveling to Bali? The government is expected to plan sustainable and efficient programs so that the opportunity to get to know the island of Bali is greater if infrastructure development, completion of LRT construction and alternative routes are also the best solution so that foreign tourists can easily access routes to get to their tourist destinations.</br></br>In conclusion, the most appropriate way to overcome congestion problems requires encouragement from various engagements ranging from government initiatives, community participation, and responsibility and awareness from each individual. This is a big challenge for the entire community, especially in Bali, so efforts that can be made to produce sustainable solutions are long-term we must work hand in hand in a collaborative way. Let's show cooperation to build solutions to the problems faced by all of us in the form of traffic jams, and so that we all get comfort while enjoying a sustainable and harmonious lifestyle.</br></br>Well, to the readers I thank you for reading my speech. I apologize if there is a mistake that is not pleasing to the heart of the speech I gave about the steps that must be taken by the government to overcome the congestion problem in Bali. I cover with paramasantih</br>Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om, Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb., Peace be upon us all, Shalom, Namo Buddhaya, Greetings of Virtue.halom, Namo Buddhaya, Greetings of Virtue.)

These natural resources attract tourists to come to Bali. The island of Bali is well known abroad. The island of Bali which is growing in tourism is what causes many investors to build buildings in Bali. Different from before, the island of Bali has many rice fields and plants, as well as clear water that makes the mind drift away. In the past, Balinese people easily got agricultural products such as chilies, vegetables and others.</br></br>After the rice fields in Bali were converted into buildings, little land was used as a place to grow these plants. This is because the prices of our basic necessities in Bali are increasing. If we remember, we should be in Bali who bring in a lot of guests, making Bali Island an island that has high regional income. However, we have all felt that now the prices of basic necessities in Bali are increasing. Natural resources in Bali are increasingly scarce, rice fields in Bali are increasingly depleted. Who can be blamed if it's like this? Not just natural resources, but technological developments that increasingly want to make us spoiled or dependent on technology. Different from before, Balinese people at home each have rice fields that can be used to grow plants that are useful for the Balinese people, such as chili plants, banana trees, tomato plants, vegetables and others. Now, are there any of you who plant these plants? Does anyone still have rice fields?</br></br>Now in Bali, many people have houses that have been influenced by foreign culture. This is because few have rice fields or plants that can be used for basic needs or coral reefs. If it is related to the increase in prices of basic commodities in Bali, it is appropriate that the Kitri coral can restore the fulfillment of our basic needs in our respective homes. If every yard or yard in Bali had coral reefs, basic prices on the market would definitely not increase because there would be no shortage of basic necessities. This Kitri coral can be included in traditional village regulations so that the community can all develop Kitri coral in their own homes and in traditional villages make sekeha which are taken by each family head in each coral to get information about the Kitri coral and Kitri coral in their respective homes. Each can be sold at the Pekraman village level. Immediately, it became a Ratribraskita movement which means Digital Based Kitri Coral, which has the aim of preserving Kitri Coral even when they become extinct and bringing greenery to the household.</br>Hopefully this RATRIBRASKITA program can provide good benefits.</br>I apologize if there are any shortcomings, I will close with Parama Santih.</br></br>Om Santih, Santih, Santih Omrama Santih.

I, Putu Bayu Yudha Oka Pratama from SMAN 2 Sukawati will deliver an oration entitled "Pikenoh lahan ring bali ngawit masa ke masa" which discusses an issue that has long been a problem in Bali. Bali is known as a global tourism destination, but behind that, there are serious challenges related to the erosion of green land.</br>Land change in Bali from time to time is certainly a very important issue and must be addressed immediately, seeing the state of the increasingly eroded land. According to an article in Neliti, land use change in Bali is very important to note because land use change has a major impact on the physical and social environment. In this case, satellite imagery and GIS data were used to determine land use change in Bali. The results showed that land use has changed drastically between 2003 and 2008. Settlements and irrigated rice fields are where the most extensive land use change occurred, at 2,553 hectares. While salt land use did not change at all. This change has led to the development of villas, hotels, shopping centers that are irregular and haphazard.</br>Irregular and indiscriminate land use change can cause negative impacts on the environment, Balinese people, and even Bali Tourism. Some of the negative impacts that can occur are environmental damage and loss of natural habitat for flora and fauna. In addition, irregular land use change can also cause flooding and landslides. And the most problematic, namely the impact on Bali Tourism. Where, foreign tourists have no interest in coming because it is too full of buildings and little green land left.</br>To overcome these problems, the future leaders of Bali 2024 must take appropriate and effective action. One solution that can be done is to conduct strict supervision of land use changes in Bali. There must be clear procedures and permits related to land use change. In addition, Bali 2024 leaders should also introduce programs that aim to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly land use. These programs could include the development of organic farming, the use of renewable energy, and waste reduction.</br>Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that's all I have to say about land use issues in Bali. I hope that this oration can be useful so as to realize that the Government and the Community must work together to deal with this problem, Finally, I Bayu say Parama Santhi.

On this happy occasion, I would like to deliver a speech about the problem of rubbish in rivers. This problem is one of the problems that exist in Bali, and must be handled by the future leaders of Bali.</br>We all know that rivers are natural resources that are very important for human life. Rivers provide water for drinking, irrigation and other daily needs. However, unfortunately, our rivers are currently facing a serious problem, namely rubbish pollution.</br>One of the main reasons why there is a lot of rubbish in rivers is the lack of public awareness about the importance of disposing of rubbish in the right place. Many people still throw rubbish carelessly, including into rivers.</br>Garbage thrown into rivers can cause various environmental and health problems. This rubbish can clog river flows, causing flooding. Garbage can also pollute river water, endangering human and animal health. Apart from that, rubbish in rivers can damage river ecosystems and reduce natural beauty.</br>To overcome the problem of waste in rivers, cooperation from all parties is needed, including the government, society and the business world.</br>The government must provide adequate facilities and infrastructure for waste management, such as rubbish bins, waste transport fleets and final waste disposal sites.</br>People must have awareness not to throw rubbish carelessly, especially into rivers.</br>The business world must also play a role in reducing the use of materials that are difficult to decompose, as well as supporting sustainable waste management programs.</br>I hope that the future leader of Bali who is elected will have a commitment to solving the problem of rubbish in rivers.</br>The prospective leader must have a clear vision and mission in waste management, as well as a work program that is measurable and can be implemented.</br>I am sure, if we all work together, we can solve the problem of rubbish in rivers and make Bali a clean, beautiful and healthy island.</br>Distinguished guests, that's all I can say.

  • Ngamolihang Kasejahteraan Sosial ring Bali  + (Om Swastyastu. Before I present this oratiOm Swastyastu. Before I present this oration, let us all give thanks to Ida Sang Hyang Parama Kawi, because thanks to His grace I, Ni Kadek Diah Ayu Paramitha from SMA Negeri 1 Kerambitan, can present the oration text entitled “Ngamolihang Kasejahteraan Sosial ring Bali”.</br></br>A leader is a person who influences others in order to carry out a common goal. Therefore, leaders have the obligation to complete and implement all the aspirations of the community and have a responsibility for community welfare and social welfare. Talking about social welfare, it can be seen from various aspects such as economy, education, health, and socio-culture. Today, I will discuss social welfare in Bali from the economic point of view. One of the economic problems in Bali is the economic gap, which is very important to find a solution to. The economic gap is closely related to the unbalanced infrastructure development in each region. This can lead to urbanization - people living in villages are displaced to cities - which then makes economic growth in Bali unbalanced. Poverty and unemployment rates are also important to note, because if you look at the distribution of subsidies for the lower middle class, it has not been well targeted, so the poverty rate has not shown a significant reduction in the number of people living in poverty.</br></br>We know that Bali is very strong because of tourism which until now has benefited as much as 60% of Bali’s economic structure. In my opinion, providing tourism sites like this, especially in villages can be one of the solutions to relieve the economic gap in Bali, such as the Tenganan Tourism Village program, Jatiluwih, Terunyan, and others. </br></br>However, we cannot guess what will happen in the future, such as the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 which causes an economy decline, especially in Bali because it still relies on tourism. However, if you look again, Bali actually has other potentials such as MSMEs. These MSMEs should be considered so that they remain strong. Bali’s leaders have a role to help MSMEs in Bali so that they can improve Bali’s economic development, such as providing facilities and assistance in the form education, socialization, subsidies and rules that can encourage the existence of MSMEs and provide legal protection for MSME actors. Not only these MSMEs can help the Balinese economy. Social welfare is not just the responsibility of leaders, but the responsibility of the entire community. However, the role of leaders here is very important to lead the community to get social welfare, the leader should use resources as well as possible, and also build good buildings in order to provide people’s welfare.</br></br>This is the text of the oration that I can convey.

  • BALI RESIK, TAN KATIBEN GUNUNG LELUU  + (Om Swastyastu. Dear the juries and all reaOm Swastyastu. Dear the juries and all readers. From the theme of this oration, the urgent topic we raised was the Bali government's steps in dealing with the surge in waste on the Island of the Gods, which can cause various problems in life. For this reason, the title of our oration is “Clean and Spotless Bali, Without Mountains of Rubbish” or "Bali Resik, Bali Tan Katiben Gunung Leluu". </br></br>Bali Island is nicknamed the world's tourism paradise. However, behind that sentence, this island is facing an urgent crisis due to piles of rubbish. It has become increasingly complicated and more transparent after fires recently occurred at several final disposal sites (TPA) in Bali. How would we feel if every day we had to live amidst piles of rubbish, followed by burning pollution like this? As a foreign tourism area, the urgency of this problem must be addressed immediately because it can cause other issues that could be detrimental to the Balinese people. Therefore, the presence of the government as a pioneer leading society is vital in responding to this urgency. </br></br>Prospective leaders should be responsible for developing steps to overcome this emergency. We need significant investment in waste management infrastructure with modern, environmentally friendly technology. We also need policy designs encouraging active community participation in waste sorting and recycling programs. We encourage prospective Balinese leaders to work with various parties, including the private sector and environmental organizations, to create collaborative solutions to this waste problem. By integrating ideas and resources from multiple sectors, we can achieve more significant progress in maintaining Bali's sustainability. This is a call for all of us to act together and ensure that Bali remains beautiful and sustainable for future generations. </br></br>Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, prospective leaders of Bali in the 2024 elections, for your attention and commitment to facing this urgent challenge. Together, let's create a clean, green, and sustainable Bali without mountains of rubbish. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.of rubbish. Om Santih, Santih, Santih, Om.)

Agricultural products in Bali are very diverse, starting from staple foods, fruit and others. However, currently there is a crisis of young farmers in Bali, there are several factors causing it, such as:</br>1). limited access to capital, technology and skilled human resources, thus hampering the ability of young farmers to increase agricultural productivity and increase their income.</br>2). The high level of urbanization and increasing education in rural areas has made many young people prefer to work in the non-agricultural sector, such as industry or services.</br>3). the lack of attractiveness of the farming profession in the eyes of the younger generation, which is considered less prestigious and has the potential to generate low income compared to jobs in other sectors.</br>I hope that from this problem the Balinese leadership candidates who will be elected in 2024 can provide solutions and provide real action and evidence for this problem.</br></br>So let's raise the status of farmers, so that there is no premature extinction, that's all I can say, if there is an error in delivering my oration, I apologize for this.

In the current era, we cannot be separated from the influence of technology in the world of work. The government can play an important role in overcoming this problem and creating policies that can control technological developments so that they do not replace and threaten people's jobs.</br></br> The most important problem currently is technological progress which poses a major threat to employment opportunities, especially in Bali. If not controlled, many jobs will be replaced by technology. Of course, this can threaten the lives of the Balinese people. Advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology are one of the biggest challenges for future leaders of Bali Province. Although the presence of AI provides benefits, especially in providing efficiency in the world of tourism in Bali, this technology can also have negative impacts if not used wisely.</br></br> To overcome challenges in the tourism sector, the government must increase investment in skills training and technology education. This will help prepare the workforce to face technological developments with greater effectiveness. One of the solutions and strategies that I propose is to strengthen the government's role and responsibility in regulating and supervising the use and impact of AI technology in Bali. The government can provide assistance and facilities, such as capital assistance, subsidies, incentives, training, certification, and others, which can help the community to improve their quality and performance in the tourism sector. The government can also evaluate policies that support the transition of workers from traditional to modern sectors through skills conversion programs and financial support. Therefore, this effort can help optimize the use of technology while reducing losses for the Bali tourism sector in terms of the availability of skilled and quality human resources so that they can continue to compete along with technological developments.ete along with technological developments.)

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

Atomic Blonde is my latex-wearing, tech house playing, DJ alter ego! I discovered her about four years ago, when I realised I could turn ‘playing my favourite music to my friends’ into a viable side hustle. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to play a whole host of my favourite events in Australia, alongside my DJ partner ‘Dutch Kiss’. We’re all about self-expression, uplifting music and high camp fun.</br></br>You are about to launch House of Karma. Briefly, tell us what it is?</br></br>House of Karma is an U35 members’ collective for the world of luxury travel and experiences. Drawing on the beauty of Karma’s current resorts, we’ll soon bring this to the next generation of ‘luxury rebels’, with pop-up festivals, wellness retreats, out-of-the-box experiences and networking events, both at Karma destinations and in our members’ home cities.</br></br>You are finally working for your father?</br></br>I am, and it’s really quite lovely so far! Dad and I have a lot in common in that we both have that entrepreneurial streak, and see Karma more as an entertainment industry than a hospitality one, so it’s great to have that initial common ground with my ‘boss’. I’m also massively inspired by him and have been my whole life, so working alongside him is a privilege I don’t take lightly. Pitching to him is still rather scary though – he’s tough!</br></br>Do you have any other siblings joining the ranks?</br></br>Yes! My sister and brother are both a bit younger so still at Uni and school but I have every confidence that they’ll be joining me soon.

I firmly believe that everyone should have a seat at the table or a foot in the door, and so I’d like to think that what I’ll bring to the world of members clubs is a whole heap of inclusivity. Yes, of course, there is an element of ‘selection’ involved, but I actually like to refer to House of Karma as a ‘collective’ rather than a ‘club’. Essentially, if you’re ambitious, open-minded, and down for one hell of a party, then we’d love to have you at our place.</br></br>What type of person would a HoK member be?</br></br>A House of Karma member is someone just like me; a luxury rebel, pampered vagabond, or hedonist who craves the unexpected and the reprieve from routine. We’re chatty, ambitious, and always looking for the next big adventure . . . with a side of fabulous!</br></br>Can you tell us more about the Bali launch?</br></br>Absolutely. We’re planning a huge party down at Karma Beach to celebrate our big launch on 13th June. After a VIP long lunch we’ll be opening the beach up to the masses, with drag queens, international DJs, signature ‘House of Karma’ cocktails and a whole lot of dancing in the sand. Come by and get a sense of what we’re all about!</br></br>And the international roll out?</br></br>Following this, we’ll be hosting our first ‘Founding Member’ networking events in Sydney and Perth, taking that signature Karma experience to Australia, before expanding across the globe later in 2023.</br></br>House of Karma is highly inclusive. Can you tell us about some of the LGBTQIA+ events you have in the planning?</br></br>Inclusion is something I am hugely passionate about and will never stop fighting for, and so at the heart of the House of Karma will be HEAPS of events for my LGBTQIA+ icons and allies. Think ‘detox and retox’ retreats at Karma destinations post-Mardi Gras, LGBTQIA+ networking nights and hot parties co-hosted by queer clubs all over the world.</br></br>More bang for your buck. Can you tell us what perks and privileges members can enjoy on joining?</br></br>It’s honestly a bit of a ‘too good to be true’ thing! Our members will benefit from nights of free accommodation at our resort destinations, huge discounts across spa, F&B and rooms year round, a bespoke ‘pimp my villa’ package, and invites to exclusive events both at Karma resorts and in their own cities! And that’s not even to mention all the members-only experiences we’ll be curating – think boat parties on the Nile, party weeks in Mykonos and a glamping festival on Gili Meno…</br></br>How does the House of Karma benefit from the global aspect of the original Karma brand?</br></br>I think that is what makes us unique. Karma already has so many breathtaking destinations, so half my work is done in that respect! Now it’s just about leveraging those locations and turning them into the perfect playground for all my like-minded House of Karma souls.</br></br>And vice versa, how does the group benefit?</br></br>To quote my father, “any great company recognises the need to evolve as new generations emerge” and I think that is just what we are doing here; moving with the times and bringing a whole new tribe of ambitious, experience-seeking young vagabonds into the Karma fold.</br></br>Lastly, you are looking to create global FOMO around HoK member’s wristbands. Any hints at how you intend to achieve this?</br></br>This is something I’m excited to see evolve. Let’s just say I hope to see House of Karma memberships soon become a must-have fashion statement.

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

And also, the audience I am proud of.</br>I express my gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, because with His blessing and grace, we can gather in the same place on this good day. Ladies and gentlemen who have gathered here at the Bali Public Participation Speech Wikithon event. Today, let me present an oration entitled "The Narrowing of Rice Field Areas in Bali, Causing the Subak System to Be Threatened, Tourism to Advance"</br>OK, ladies and gentlemen.</br>Subak is a Balinese irrigation system which functions to regulate the distribution of irrigation flows that irrigate each plot of rice field area according to the customs of Balinese society. The Subak system has been recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage. This is what causes Bali to become fertile because of the subak system, which means that the rice fields in Bali do not lack water. Making rice fields in Bali into natural tourist attractions that are in great demand in Bali, for example in Jatiluwih, Tegalalang Rice Terrace.</br>Currently, Bali is famous for its very beautiful tourist attractions, because of this, Bali is nicknamed "Paradise Island". However, the impact of tourism in Bali which is increasingly developing has caused many rice fields to be converted into Bali tourism infrastructure and converted into housing complexes, especially now that Bali is being hit by a long drought which is causing farmers to fail to harvest, such as in Penebel, Tabanan, Farmers failed to harvest up to 107 hectares. And the status of Subak land changed to empty land. Then this land can be used as tourism infrastructure and a housing complex in Bali. Of course, this must be taken into account, because now people are becoming less aware of Balinese traditions, customs and culture due to the great influence of today's increasingly advanced technology.</br>I have said a lot, and I have made many mistakes. Hopefully the tradition of the subak system in Bali will remain sustainable and the Balinese people will still remember this ancestral heritage. I hereby apologize profusely, if any of my words do not match what the audience thinks. I close with Parama Santhi.</br>Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om.Parama Santhi. Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om.)

This is supported by a decrease in the number of tourists to Bali in 2020 by 82.96%, which causes the tourism industry managers to be unable to develop the tourism business line that is being built.</br>However, this should not dampen the enthusiasm of various components of Balinese society in generating Bali tourism. One alternative that can be done is the adaptation of the tourism industry to the technology that is currently being discussed, the Non-Fungible Token (NFT). NFT exists as a representation of individual or group assets or ownership that has unique, non-exchangeable, and valuable properties. This technology adaptation is expected to be an answer to tourist concerns, security and convenience.</br>The workings of the tourism business model with the NFT platform are almost similar to the voucher system in the tourism industry. However, to ensure the security and convenience of users, this platform will be supported by blockchain technology. Blockchain is expected to be able to provide a sense of security thanks to the concept of decentralization which requires validation from various parties who become the blockchain server itself.</br>The government especially Bali Government Tourism Office can act as a validator for tourism industry managers (lodging, accommodation, culinary, etc.) who are committed to building a digital-based Bali tourism ecosystem. For tourists, this NFT can be purchased as a coupon that can be purchased and exchanged at a time frame determined by the tourism industry manager.</br>It is time we move together to restore the glory of Bali tourism by familiarizing ourselves with technology.

  • Peralihan Potensi Lapangan Pariwisata untuk Mengembangkan UMKM  + (The Potential Transition of Tourism ResourThe Potential Transition of Tourism Resources to Develop UMKM</br></br>Greetings, Om Swastyastu, Assalamualaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh, Shalom, Namoh Buddhaya. Goodwill and peace to all. We express our gratitude and thanks to the One Almighty God for allowing us to participate in the "Provincial Bali Oratory Competition" with the theme "Bali Orates" and the topic "2024 Election: What is the most pressing issue to be addressed by Bali's future leaders?". In this regard, we present arguments focusing on "how the management of tourism, by harnessing the potential shift of employment towards UMKM, can coexist with the progress of tourism for Bali's future leaders."</br></br>Post-Covid-19, Bali is assessed as unable to rely solely on the tourism sector as the sole backbone of the regional economy. Serious resource exploration is needed so that Bali has a number of alternative sources of economic income. This consideration is essential for Bali to withstand crises and global challenges. It is an opportunity to organize and pay attention to the development of UMKM in Bali, potentially redirecting the economic base from the tourism sector.</br></br>The negative impact of the current tourism sector chaos in Bali stems from arbitrary behavior by tourists towards the Balinese people. Bali's residents are disturbed by reprehensible actions by tourists, whether permanent residents or just visitors. Examples include religious desecration, inappropriate behavior in sacred areas, disturbances in public areas, land grabbing from Balinese residents, and various other disturbances, all of which have a detrimental impact on the lives of the Balinese people.</br></br>The government of the Bali Regional People's Representative Council (DPRI), a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-Perjuangan) faction, outlines several potential economic resources that can be seriously explored in Bali, including agriculture, marine, and creative economy sectors. Strengthening each sector, he notes, will contribute to economic equality in the Island of the Gods.</br></br>Recognizing that UMKM are a sector capable of sustaining Bali in times of crisis, support for regulations and education for the empowerment and protection of UMKM is crucial. It is emphasized that diversifying beyond the tourism sector is essential. Chairman of the Bali Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), Tjok. Oka Sukawati, sees this as a significant moment for Bali's UMKM to learn from other UMKM, especially those outside Bali, fostering innovation and product quality development.</br></br>In response to Prof. Ramantha's statements, Ny Putri Koster, as the Head of the Regional Craft Council (Dekranasda), considers her actions as part of her responsibility to bridge UMKM with consumers. She builds synergy with relevant government agencies, such as the Bali Provincial Trade and Industry Office.</br></br>In conclusion, we hope that future government candidates prioritize programs in the UMKM sector over tourism, yet maintaining attention to Bali's tourism. This oration serves as a reference for future programs. In closing, we express our gratitude. Om Santih, Santih, Santih Om, Wassalamualaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh, Shalom, Namoh Buddhaya.

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

For everyone involved, but especially Kleen, the result was very disappointing, because she wanted to participate in this project in order to result in a standard reference work that could be presented worldwide.</br></br>When she arrived in Bali in 1920, she started a new project on the mudras, or ritual hand poses, of the Balinese Hindu priests with the assistance of the Rajah of Karangasem, Gusti Bagus Djilantik, whom she had met in Solo the year before, and of Piet de Kat Angelino. This was a turning point in her career because de Kat Angelino was able to explain to her the mudras and also encouraged the priests to cooperate. He was district-officer (controleur) of Gianjar and Klungklung for over a decade and had been collecting material on Balinese priests for years in his home in Gianjar. At his home, she could draw priests and their mudras. Their work together is presented in the book Mudras, with text and illustrations by Kleen, who acknowledged that much of the technical information about the poses and ceremonies came from de Kat Angelino and later on from R.Ng. Poerbatjaraka. Kleen spent the whole of 1921 in Java, working on the material collected in Bali the year before. She exhibited her pictures of the priests at the Art Society in Batavia. Collaboration with de Kat Angelino continued and she met him in Amsterdam on her way home. With his help an exhibition was arranged at the Colonial Institute in Amsterdam. The exhibition was favorably reviewed by de Kat Angelino in the magazine Nederlandsch Indië, Oud en Nieuw. What was the reaction at that time in the Netherlands on her work in Bali? Anne Hallema, a Dutch journalist and art-criticus wrote a critical and extensive article on the Mudra's which appeared Elseviers Geïllustreerd Maandschrift, Jaargang 34, 1924 pp. 145–147. He disqualified her work as an artist but praised her for her scientific contribution. He ends his article with stating that we have to be grateful that this stranger from the land of Selma Lagerlöf toke the initiativ to study the mudra's of the Balinese priests in performing his Hinduistic rituals. Specially the Indologists and Orientalists should be happy with the appearance of this publication.</br></br>Another crucial exhibition was Två vittberesta damer (Two Travelling Ladies) at Liljevalch's Public Art Gallery in Stockholm 1922, where she showed art and artifacts from Java and Bali together with Swedish photographer and author Ida Trotzig contributing works from Japan. This exhibition was the starting point for the "Bali-fever" in Sweden. Kleen's depictions of mudras were shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1923.</br></br>Besides Mudras, Kleen published two other books about Bali: Ni-Si-Pleng, a story about black children written for white children (1924), and, seven years later, Tempeldanser och musikinstrument pa Bali, printed in 300 numbered copies, translated in 1936 as The Temple Dances in Bali.</br></br>Kleen's study on the mudras, the exhibition in Amsterdam at the Colonial Institute and the publication of her books made her internationally known. For her scientific ethnographic work on Bali, Kleen was awarded the Johan August Wahlberg silver medal in April 1938, given to individuals who have "promoted anthropological and geographical science through outstanding efforts".</br></br>Walter Spies was the central figure in the circle of artists residing on the island in Ubud, Klungklung and Karangasem. He was considered to be the greatest expert on Balinese dance and drama. Together with the British dance critic Beryl de Zoete, he wrote the standard 1938 work Dance and Drama in Bali. Spies was jealous of the international success of Kleen[citation needed] and wrote a very critical nine-page review of the Temple Dances in Bali in the journal Djawa (1939). He complained, "the text and the depictions are filled with so many mistakes, errors and incorrect statements that one must shake one's head." Spies claims that as an ethnographic document the book has no value. As a result, there were nearly no references to the work of Kleen in any ethnographic periodicals or publications after this critical review. It is only in 1962 that C. Hooykaas in his article "Saiva-Siddhanta in Java and Bali" supported the importance of the study on mudras by de Kat Angelino and Kleen.</br></br>Kleen contributed work to various European magazines, including Sluyters' Monthly, Nederlandsch Indië Oud en Nieuw, Ord och Bild and Inter-Ocean, between 1920 and 1925 and influenced in this way the perception and expectations of foreign visitors to Bali. Furthermore, she influenced with her colourful, vivid and dynamic art-deco drawing style the development of painting by local artists in Bali, not in a one-way influence but more a kind of mutual influence.Mostly these local paintings were made for the touristic market and depicted daily life instead of exclusively being concerned with gods, demons and the Ramayana and Mahabharata epics. In this way, she took part in the marketing of "the last paradise". This also meant that she became associated with this type of magazine drawing instead of her more important ethnographic publications. more important ethnographic publications.)

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.

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.

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.

He said that this gave people spirit, making sure that people don’t get used to receiving without working.</br></br>Through this plastic for rice system, Janur provided a double solution: cleaning littered plastic in the environment; as well as providing much-needed sustenance to those in need, especially in rural areas.</br></br>The program started in Banjar Jangkahan and Banjar Penulisan, Batuaji Village, Tabanan, the regency where Janur comes from.

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.

  • Symon  + (A stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le MayeuA stylistic heir to Walter Spies, Le Mayeur and his mentor, the Indonesian-Dutch painter Arie Smit, Symon was among the last in the lineage of foreign artists who have helped raise Bali’s international profile as an exotic destination for art and design. Renowned for his vivid pop style with new iconic motifs, he was born on April 13, 1947, as Ronald Thomas Bierl in Detroit, Michigan, the United States, and made Bali his home in 1978. He was installed in the Puri Kaler of Ubud Palace by the Ubud royal family, who had for decades been patrons of foreign artists. Symon later took over Arie Smit’s cottage in nearby Campuhan, where his studio grew into local landmark. In 2014, he moved full-time to his other destination studio at Alas Sari in North Bali, Art Zoo, which he had founded in 1998.</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.)

The aim of the Bali Provincial Government in creating this program is none other than to reduce traffic jams and individual vehicle pollution. Trans Metro Dewata buses have now spread to various areas in Bali Province. However, its implementation over time is not in accordance with what the government hoped or planned. Most Trans Metro Dewata buses are currently empty without carrying passengers. Most people are reluctant to use public transportation because the stopping points are limited and far away, so it requires more effort to reach them. This also causes the majority of residents to prefer to use online motorcycle taxi applications rather than public transportation. The lack of public awareness of the existence of public transportation also causes a lack of passengers. Payment methods that can only be cashless can be a problem, especially for people who don't have or haven't made electronic money. According to interviews with 15 sources that the author conducted regarding the effectiveness of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program, 9 out of 15 sources were of the opinion that the implementation of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus program was still not effective, which according to the experience of the sources was caused by several bus drivers who were a little impatient when driving their buses. so that when a motorbike passes in front of the Trans Metro Dewata Bus, the bus driver will honk at the motorbike rider.

  • Gede Suanda  + (Contemporary art is an empowering communicContemporary art is an empowering communication platform allowing artists to give a visible presence to the invisible. The artist’s role is often to highlight important socio-political and environmental issues to create awareness and hopefully change. </br></br>Gede ‘Sayur’ Suanda is a multi-talented contemporary Balinese artist who expresses statements about the rapid changes engulfing Bali in both 3-dimensional works as well as paintings. In 2015 Sayur’s landmark installation ‘Last Defence’ was presented in ‘Violent Bali’, a group exhibition by sixty of Bali’s finest contemporary artists at the Tony Raka Gallery in Ubud. The towering 3-metre-high impression of the ‘rook’ chess piece made from bamboo, dried rice stalks and husks was his comment concerning the rapid transformation of rice fields in Bali for modern development. According to the artist, the rice fields are vital to the Balinese way of life, which is constantly under threat and the last defence of the culture, which is increasingly vulnerable to change.</br>More recently, Sayur has channelled his creativity into contemporary paintings. As a child, he learned the technical aspects of Balinese painting passed down through the generations. Drawing is the basic fundamental of Balinese painting and the initial process of rendering the composition details. The application of paint with small hand-crafted bamboo brushes follows various technical, traditional guidelines. The physical action is similar to drawing or colouring in.</br></br>The ancient classical Balinese religious paintings that decorate the temples throughout the island function as a collective expression of ideas from the community to the Balinese Gods and ancestors. During the last century, technical aspects of these sacred paintings merged with western painting techniques and individual ideas. As a result, various village styles or “schools” of painting evolved from the 1920s onwards, catering to new tourist markets.</br></br>A distinct aspect of traditional Balinese painting is that all visual information is contained within black outlines. When observing these paintings, flowing lines and rhythms entertain our eyes as we traverse the composition from left to right and from the top down. Natural universal rhythms are inseparable from daily life and determine the timing of the many Balinese religious ceremonies and cultural practices. Visual rhythms, therefore, are a unique and essential essence of Balinese painting.</br></br>From 1999 – 2006, Sayur studied fine art at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts of Yogyakarta. Living and learning outside the cultural restraints of his village opened him to new ideas, creative influences and time to explore different artistic possibilities. Such an experience is instrumental for the Balinese to help them break free from the rules and collective mindset that define Balinese painting. In doing so, they may create compositions to express personal ideas constructed with modern western painting techniques. Sayur’s time living within a foreign culture allowed him to perceive his upbringing and the ever-changing dynamics of modern Bali through a new lens. </br></br>Richard Horstman</br>@lifeasartasiaw lens.

  • Krisis Macet ring Kodya, Transportasi Umum Solusinya!  + (Denpasar is a city that is sought after amDenpasar is a city that is sought after among domestic and foreign tourists because of its rich culture, traditions and unique tourist destinations. However, because Denpasar is visited by many tourists and also has a dense population, traffic conditions in this city are often jammed and obstructed. Air pollution due to motorized vehicles, strong sunlight during the day and rows of stationary vehicles are common sights in Denpasar. Of course, this will make many people feel cramped and disturbed and affect comfort in their activities. This is caused by the large number of people who have private vehicles. Even though there are stops for public transportation in the city, people prefer to drive themselves. Therefore, at certain hours, traffic conditions in Denpasar are very congested because there are so many people traveling at the same time. Private vehicles also produce more smoke than public transportation, thereby affecting the surrounding environmental conditions. Management of public transportation can indeed be a solution to this problem. Developed countries such as America, England, Germany and others have implemented public transportation systems first and can reduce problems due to traffic jams because they are normalized and often used by the residents of these countries. Public transportation already exists in Denpasar, but is rarely used because demand from the public is too low. This is something that the city government must pay attention to so that it can be managed better to increase public interest. Currently, public transportation in Denpasar is public buses which have their own stops or transport places. However, these stops are located in less strategic places. There are still many places that are densely populated and where there is a lot of activity, such as school areas or shopping places and others where there are no bus stops. The current bus stops are not centered in a particular place and tend to be quite far from the places where most people go so that people who want to go to those places have to walk again. Even though it's only a short walk, Indonesians usually prefer to ride motorbikes rather than buses, even though the distance is not far. The government can use the "push and pull strategy" to increase people's interest in using public transportation. This "push and pull strategy" is carried out at the same time to get maximum results. "Push strategy" is a more aggressive and proactive way where the government can encourage people by limiting the number of private vehicles and also special traffic lanes for public transportation so that roads are faster. The "pull strategy" is more passive and is carried out by improving the quality of public transportation itself, such as creating bus stops in places where many people go or special buses to take students to school. If this "push and pull strategy" can be implemented well, over time people will begin to realize the advantages of using public transportation and will use it more often. By optimizing public transportation, I believe we can end the traffic jam crisis in our beloved municipality and reduce air pollution from vehicle exhaust. Let's all use public transportation!aust. Let's all use public transportation!)
  • DENPASAR SAYAN KOSEKAN  + (Denpasar is the capital of the province ofDenpasar is the capital of the province of Bali, its strategic regional position has made this city develop very quickly so that the past face of the city of Denpasar as a royal city has changed into a modern and multiethnic city. The development of the Denpasar City concerns growth in the economic, educational, technological, social and cultural aspects which have been mixed with foreign culture. The city of Denpasar also has the characteristics of a big city where there is widespread development of shopping centers, modern markets, entertainment centers, hotels, and many more. This certainly has a positive impact on Denpasar's economy, but on the other hand, this affects the population of Denpasar city which will also affect several other aspects.</br> The population according to the latest BPS data for 2023 is 726,800 people. The population of Denpasar will be numerous if we add the number of residents from outside Bali and foreigners who live to earn a living. A large population will affect the carrying capacity from various aspects, especially the availability of space, which is very limited and is not increasing</br></br>Spatial planning problems in Denpasar include residential housing which is increasingly eroding green open land which should be at 30%. The large population makes land increasingly scarce, land prices will increase, the development of the city of Denpasar can no longer be oriented horizontally but vertically to save the remaining land. This can make the city of Denpasar even more difficult to breathe. A large number of populations also brings other problems such as the accumulation of waste in landfills, one of which is the Biaung landfill. Until now, in my opinion, there is no best solution by the government for waste management in landfills. Various ideas and solutions have been offered, such as TPS3R, buying machines, and even planning to build another waste’s management point at the landfill, but this does not help at all, the government should stop the problem at the source, not with solutions that will create new problems.</br></br> The problem that Denpasar also has recently experienced is traffic jams. Congestion occurs due to the increasing population and each resident has a private transportation and does not use public transportation. The government should be able to optimize public transportation programs such as Teman Bus or Trans Sarbagita Bus which can be used especially for student or workers, and try to increasing bus routes and build more bus stop facilities. The government should also provide sosialitation regarding the benefits and purposes of using public transportation to people so that people know why it is better to use public transportation rather than private transportation.</br></br> It can be concluded that population density can have bad effects in various areas of life such as spatial problem in Denpasar, waste and pollution problems, and heavy traffic jams everywhere. With this, it is hoped that the government can think of a way out of the various problems described earlier, lest this problem has already become big or even gone viral on social media before being handled by the government. I also hope that the government will always be open to the opinions and views of the community so that solutions can be found together.y so that solutions can be found together.)

  • Dewa Putu Kantor  + (Dewa Putu Kantor, born in Sukawati, GianyaDewa Putu Kantor, born in Sukawati, Gianyar, 1957. He is a traditional painter who adheres to the Batuan painting style. He learned to paint the Batuan technique from the painters Dewa Putu Mangku, Dewa Made Jaya, and Made Body. For more than nine years he has absorbed the famous Batuan style painting technique with the concept of a picture space that is full, complicated, dark in color and without a clear focus.</br></br>He then simplified the complex style into the pulling and twisting of lines that form a certain shape without any Chinese ink coating process. The drawings rely solely on the strength of the lines that affect the integrity of the work. The themes of his works have also changed, from wayang stories to the daily themes of rural communities. He became known as a neo-traditional painter because he portrayed the daily life of Balinese rural people in the contemporary era. He returns the power of Balinese painting to its core, namely, lines. At first glance, his drawings remind people of the works of I Gusti Nyoman Lempad.</br></br>The wholeness and strength of his work rests on the simplicity and sharpness of the lines. Using Chinese ink and a small bamboo brush, he draws the atmosphere of the market, the penggak stall, the tajen, the ceremony at the temple, the village youth playing the gamelan, the car with its cargo, the children with their games, folklore, the girl bathing in the river, and various activities. village life.

  • I Dewa Putu Mokoh  + (Dewa Putu Mokoh was the first of six childDewa Putu Mokoh was the first of six children. He was born in Pengosekan, Ubud in 1936. His father, Dewa Rai Batuan, was an undagi (traditional Balinese architect) and famous gamelan musician. His mother, Gusti Niang Rai, was an expert in making lamak (decoration for offerings). Mokoh only had three years of education at the People's School (SR), equivalent to elementary school. </br></br>Mokoh began to study drawing when he was about 15. However, his desire to become a painter had troubled his heart since childhood. Unfortunately, his father strongly opposed his desire to become a painter and rather wanted him to work in the fields, husbanding ducks and cows. For his father, painting was just a waste of time and didn’t generate any income. </br></br>However the teenage Mokoh had plenty of initiative. Though he was busy working in the rice fields, he often managed to find time to play at the home of his uncles, I Gusti Ketut Kobot and I Gusti Made Baret. He loved watching and admiring them while they were painting and he also learned a lot of traditional art techniques from them: such as sketching, colour blocking, shading, highlighting, and gradation.*</br></br>Mokoh later met Rudolf Bonnet (1895-1978), a Dutch painter who had lived in Ubud since 1929. Bonnet was one of the initiators and founders of Pita Maha (1936) and the Ubud Painters’ Group (1951). Mokoh was keen to show Bonnet the drawings and paintings that he had learned to create from his uncles.</br></br></br>Bonnet taught Mokoh the principles of modern painting. These included techniques for color recognition, mixing colors, composition, discovering one’s own creativity, as well the principle of freedom in painting. Bonnet always suggested that Mokoh search for his own creativity rather than follow in the footsteps of Kobot and Beret who focused on traditional themes. </br></br>As a result of this contact with Bonnet, Mokoh experienced enlightenment. His confidence grew. He began to realize that good paintings did not have to have Ramayana and Mahabarata themes with complicated compositions filling the image area. Mokoh felt that the purpose of such paintings was to disguise the lack of ability of the painter to work on images. </br></br>For Mokoh, good paintings can also be based on objects around the painter, or created based on fantasy and imagination, with simple coloring techniques and image processing. A painter must dare to paint with different styles and objects, must dare to explore new possibilities. </br></br>Over time, the themes of Mokoh’s paintings became quite diverse. He painted about everyday life, flora and fauna, folklore, the world of children, fantasy, erotica, or simple things that attracted his attention.</br></br>In the context of art in Bali, Mokoh is an anomaly. By studying with Kobot and Baret, he was born into the realm of traditional painting. However, the advice of Bonnet and his friendship with Mondo opened his horizons to further develop himself in the thinking of modern art. </br></br>Personal character is very strong in Mokoh's paintings which are often considered eccentric. He was not interested in painting the decorative things that usually appeared in traditional painting. However, with gentle strokes, he swooped straight onto on the subject matter that he portrayed through humorous, innocent, and often surprising narratives. </br></br>Mokoh has broken through the Pengosekan or traditional style of painting that tends to be static and patterned. Using this ability with traditional painting techniques, he processed ideas and themes that were modern or even contemporary on his canvases. However, frequently there are no traces of traditional painting techniques to be found in his paintings. Mokoh is an innovator, a reformer, as well as a breaker of Pengosekan's style of painting. </br></br>In addition to domestic exhibitions, Mokoh's paintings have appeared in many joint exhibitions abroad, including America, Australia, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Venice. In 1995, Mokoh’s paintings were exhibited at a solo exhibition at Fukoaka Art Museum, Japan.</br></br>* The original Balinese terms are: nyeket, ngabur, ngasir, nyigar, ngontur.: nyeket, ngabur, ngasir, nyigar, ngontur.)

  • Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa  + (Emerging female Balinese contemporary painEmerging female Balinese contemporary painter Luh Gede Gita Sangita Yasa has seemingly materialised from anonymity and appeared on the Bali art scene. After five years living in West Java, studying fine art at the Institute of Technology Bandung, she returned in 2020 to live in Batubulan, Bali. However, media exposure in international magazines and exhibitions in Java and Singapore preceded her. In 2021, her presence had become more “localised” by exhibiting in Bali. Refreshing and powerful suggestive Luh’De’s pictures captivate and reveal a fascinating lens upon life.</br></br>Vibrant, yet unusual mindscapes depict alternative realities: Luh’De expresses a Gen-Z experience of dwelling in both the digital and natural worlds. As the first generation having grown up with immediate Internet and mobile digital technology access, members of Gen-Z are dubbed “digital natives”. Luh’De’s sensitivity pieces together seemingly unrelated, contrasting imagery into balanced compositions introducing the audience to fresh narrative realms she refers to as “fragments of memories”.</br></br>For most people, the concept of existing simultaneously in parallel universes may be too abstract to process. Not for Luh’De. Curiosity infused with ingenuity is harnessed into images of the past, present and future which are unique within the Indonesian contemporary art world. Light years beyond the conventional Balinese painter, Luh’De never references traditional icons, narratives and techniques. Instead, she boldly investigates her potential and intuitive trajectory.</br></br>Merging Pop Art, abstract and semi-realism styles often with a minimalist sense of space, blank areas on the canvas create interludes that allow us to pause and think. The outcomes are contemplative and uber-chic. Luh’De is the first Balinese woman artist to establish an identity upon such a compelling aesthetic formula.</br></br>“My creative process begins by sourcing images from the Internet, screenshots from the online simulation game The Sims and other images I have collected. I then photoshop combinations into compositions I call ‘happy incidents’,” said Luh’De, who was born in Bali in July 1997 and worked briefly as a graphic designer. </br></br>“At university I found myself working best in oil paints. I like that it takes around 8 hours for the paint to dry giving me time to manipulate my compositions into shape. This process helps me understand more about what I’m going through. I’ll connect everything, asking myself why this is here? This is where my instincts draw connections and make assumptions. The results are impossible to preconceive and often without meaning or explanation.” </br></br>One of the greatest challenges for Balinese artist’s is to grow and to introduce change. Some settle on a formula which sells and then remain in a comfort zone, yet creatively stagnant. Others lack courage to break free and experiment and over time new horizons become increasingly difficult to achieve. Luh’De is a driven artist, whose work has technically and thematically evolved. </br></br>From 2016-2018 she worked developing ideas and arranging different components to uncover a functional formula. During 2019-2020 she explored ‘PARADISO: On Fragments of Times’, a series inspired by beach scenes and people at leisure. “I grew tired of painting figures and beach themes. There was nothing more to dig and it was time to move on,” she told me. </br></br>In 2020 Luh’De was diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder and temporarily stopped painting. “When I began painting again, my old subject matter – the Paradiso Series– no longer represented me. I developed a liking towards sweets to help stabilise my moods, and I spent more time playing Sims as a form of escapism. I created a new ‘ideal’ personal painting reality I called my Sweet and Sour Series,” said Luh’De who was nominated in 2021 as a Finalist UOB Indonesian Painting of the Year – Established Artist Category.</br></br>Richard Horstman</br>NOW Balirtist Category.

His activity can be divided between an inner practice – evident in canvases and small-scaled sculptures – and a more public scope. This versatility allows his character to come out and enables his sense of freedom as an artist to emerge.</br></br>The circumstance that the tropical island of Bali has become his most permanent residence for about 25 years resides in the double possibility it presents: this is one of the world’s most crossed-cultured places, extremely traditionalist in its singular Hindu rituals and constant colorful ceremonies, and simultaneously one of the world’s most cosmopolitan atmospheres, home to various western communities. This intellectual balance, conjoined with a major presence of craftsmanship, working in international standard quality, allowed him to stay and produce vast amount of, and large artworks.</br></br>The Artist, Gentile perceives his working method as connected to those of musicians: after learning the basic notes – drawing, geometry and the knowledge provided by Art History – one can compose a ‘symphony’ – paintings, sculptures and, more recently, the possibilities enabled by Computer Aided Design (CAD), which he has been exploring since the late 1990s. A believer in classical and canonized education, Gentile keeps a graphic diary in the form of sketchbooks that became the foundation of his image bank. More recently, Gentile has augmented the paper diaries with an iPad. In addition to this gadget, he keeps a photographic and written record of people and situations he interacts with.</br></br>The ‘organic’ ingredient of his artwork thus resides outside the working methodology, rather is borne from the manner he utilizes his personal archive, vast due to several anthropological and ethnographical explorations. This system is what Gentile offers to the viewer: on the one hand, he expresses a personal synthesis of art and life and on the other hand, he delivers a constant citation of legacy – that he applies with extreme ease – and provides new directions for its usage.</br></br>Therefore, Gentile’s artistic practice is many times explained as an assemblage of elements embedded with references and material citations of local specificities pertaining to the locations he arrives to.pertaining to the locations he arrives to.)

However, there is a very important obstacle, namely stunting. Stunting is the impaired growth and development of children due to malnutrition at the age of 1000 days. </br></br>Stunting is characterized by a child being shorter than a child with normal development. Not only that, during their cerebral and physical development, children are very quickly exposed to disease. Young children who experience stunting are also hindered in socializing, emotions, and thinking. According to UNICEF, young children who experience stunting usually have less intelligence than children who are not affected by stunting.</br></br>This problem of stunting, should be quickly recognised by the policy owner or the government, especially the Bali provincial leader who will be elected in 2024. If this is not considered by the government, the hope to reach a “New Era Bali” will only be a dream, unattainable because it cannot build a young generation that has critical thinking and intelligence, who will become the leaders of Bali in the future.</br></br>My respected audience,</br>Whoever will be the leader of Bali in 2024 should really pay attention to the disease that causes stunting. What can help solve this problem is building drinking water infrastructure, conducting Supplementary Feeding Programs (PTM) for children and pregnant women to complement their body nutrition, checking the growth and development of toddlers, providing vaccinations for children to prevent viruses that interfere with child development.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, </br>The young generation can be a weapon to reach the “New Bali Era”. Let us beware of the dangers caused by stunting that can hinder or hamper the development of this island of the gods. Together with the young generation, towards the New Bali Era.</br></br>That’s all I can say today. If there are any mistakes in my speech, I ask for forgiveness. Klungkung Semarapura, kirang langkung nunas pangampura (Balinese saying which means begging for forgiveness if something goes wrong).

Here I will deliver an oration about the conversion of agricultural land. This is one of the problems that must be overcome by potential Balinese leaders.</br></br> As we know, the population of Bali is increasing and more and more foreign tourists are visiting, therefore a lot of agricultural land is being converted into housing, hotels, restaurants and other buildings that support the tourism industry. Therefore, there are no farmers in Bali who own large areas of land. Head of the Bali Agriculture and Food Security Service, I Wayan Sunada, explained that currently the largest farmer's land area in Bali is around 75 are/0.75 ha, it is very rare for farmers to have land above one hectare. "The weakness of farmers in Bali currently is that their land is limited, some are 25 hectares, the maximum is 75 hectares. "This is the result of land conversion that occurs every year." said Sunada to Bisnis, Wednesday (22/6/2022). Based on these problems, the Government or prospective Bali Provincial Government must really pay attention to the problem of Land Conversion by ensuring the welfare of farmers, for example:</br> 1. During the planting season, attention must be paid to the distribution of subsidized and non-subsidized fertilizers to avoid fertilizer shortages.</br> 2. During the harvest season, the Government must help farmers market their agricultural products.</br> If the government really paid attention to the welfare of farmers, land conversion could be prevented because people and the younger generation would want to become farmers. In this way, the national food security program can be achieved.</br></br> That is the speech that I can convey, if there are any sentences that are not acceptable, I apologize profusely.

In the short history of ethnographic fieldwork, film was used both on a large scale and as the primary research tool. Bateson took 25,000 photographs of their Balinese subjects.</br></br>He discovered that the people of Bajoeng Gede raised their children very unlike children raised in Western societies. Instead of attention being paid to a child who was displaying a climax of emotion (love or anger), Balinese mothers would ignore them. Bateson notes, "The child responds to [a mother's] advances with either affection or temper, but the response falls into a vacuum. In Western cultures, such sequences lead to small climaxes of love or anger, but not so in Bali. At the moment when a child throws its arms around the mother's neck or bursts into tears, the mother's attention wanders". This model of stimulation and refusal was also seen in other areas of the culture. Bateson later described the style of Balinese relations as stasis instead of schismogenesis. Their interactions were "muted" and did not follow the schismogenetic process because they did not often escalate competition, dominance, or submission.ate competition, dominance, or submission.)

Notable among them are Arya Kenceng son of Arya Damar who was made the ruler in Tabanan, Arya Sentong in Pacung, Arya Beleteng in Pinatih, Arya Kutawaringin in Kapal, Arya Binculu in Tangkas, Arya Pakisan in Abiansemal, Arya Belog in Kaba-kaba, and three knight named Tan Kober, Tan Kawur and Tan Mundur.</br></br>At that time, Arya Kenceng wore chrysanthemum green flowers at his hat. Ida Dalem's heart was shocked when he found out that Arya Kenceng was wearing the green chrysanthemum flower. Immediately his anger rose, due to the slander launched by Arya Pengalasan Jelantik. It is said that Arya Kenceng put magic on the king, so that the king would love and submit to him. Immediately Shri Raja punished Patih Arya Kenceng from war general into gardener with the obligation to clean the hall every day. The commotion at the Puri Dalem Samprangan Hall is thought to have occurred in 1360.</br></br>From that moment on, Arya Kenceng felt very deep sadness and often cried when he remembered his favorite son named Ngurah Tabanan. The son was given the name Ngurah Tabanan, because Arya Kenceng participated in conquering (naban) this Balinese country after fighting against Si Pasung Grigis, the governor of Raja Bedahulu.</br></br>After a long time, it was time for Arya Kenceng to receive God's grace. It was mentioned that the king Ida Dalem had a son who was only eleven months old to crawl. The boy was crawling very fast. The caretaker is named Ni Dasa Dasih. The prince is also getting closer to Arya Kenceng because he often carried out by him. Until one day, Arya Kenceng intention appeared to make efforts to get himself free from punishment. One time when Ida Dalem was sitting in front of his ministers, suddenly the son was released from behind the King. Crawling swiftly and then reaching for king's shoulder. Then approached by Arya Kenceng while lifting the son higher than Ida Dalem's back while apologizing from behind the King. As soon as the king turned his head, he saw the height behind him. The king was furious, then said: "You are very clever at making a ploy. Now, because my son has made a mistake grabbing my shoulder, as written in Niti Sloka (The Kingdom rule), when the king is dressed in his royal dress as the leader of the country, nobody is allowed to touch the king. The rule said whoever touch the king must be execute. But I can’t execute him because he is my son. So, Arya Kenceng, take my son, make him your adopted son, the ceremony with a bonfire on top of which is filled with a buffalo head. Brother him with your son I Ngurah Tabanan. Now I give the name to him Arya Dalem Bansuluk Tegehkuri. (Tegeh mean tall or high and Kori or Kuri mean behind, because he was taller from behind when he touch the king’s shoulder)”. Immediately, Arya Kenceng was unbelievably happy to have a son who was handsome and very smart. Then respectfully excuse himself to bring the prince to his castle at Tabanan, make him brother to Ngurah Tabanan. This tale is also written at Prasasti Babad Dalem Tabanan Tegehkori manuscript. Arya Kenceng then carried out the adopted ceremony according to the mandate of Ida Dalem. </br></br>The blood that flows in prince Arya Dalem Bansuluk Tegehkori from generation to generation remains the blood of Ida Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan. Now more than six centuries have passed, all of his genetic descendants remember to always come to offer devotion before The king Ida Bhatara Kawitan Dalem Shri Aji Kresna Kepakisan at his family temple at Mother Temple Besakih.</br></br>Time pass by and the 2 kids now become young men. Between Arya Tegehkori and Ngurah Tabanan, a misunderstanding and conflict arise. Arya Tabanan has a wife, he is jealous that he thinks his wife have an affair with Arya Tegehkori. He always try to harm him in many ways</br></br>Feeling uneasy, Arya Tegehkori decide to leave the Tabanan kingdom then went to get rid of himself to Mount Batur to meditation. After some time meditating there, he got a gift from the god of Mount Batur in the form of a whiting box. If Arya Tegeh Kori wanted to put himself in it, the power of the whiting box would shrink. Whenever it comes out of the box, he can return his body to normal size. That is the magic of the whiting box, a gift from the goddess of Mount Batur, then the god said to Arya Tegehkori: “I gave you the magic box. Now you have to go to Tonjayu Village at the dark land (Badeng). There are some clans inhabit the area like Pasek Bendesa, Pasek Kubayan, Dangka, Ngukuhin, Tangkas and they don't have a king yet. These days they have big ceremony, use this magic box there. Of course you will be appointed king in the Badeng or Badung area. Be a ruler, be a king!“.As the command of Ida Batara Dewi Danu, the goddess of Batur lake and mountain, then Arya Tegehkori left for the Badeng or Badung area. </br></br>When he arrived in the Badung area, it was already evening, so he to the chief’s village house at Tonja. There he concentrated his spiritual power so that he could enter the container of magic whiting boxthat he had placed on the gate. His body shrunk and able to fit in the box perfectly. The next day, when the sun rise, the village chief saw that there was a box on the gate. Then while opening the lid. Seen a small child in the container of whiting box. The chief mind was amazed to see this strange and miraculous event. Immediately Ihe worshiped and said: "My noble Lord". Having just finished saying this, the little boy who was in the box immediately came out. Back in its original form as as a man. Looks good, handsome and dignified. The longer it was seen, the more amazed the chief's feelings. Then Arya Tegehkori then himself. He explained that he was the son of the Bali king Ida Dalem Kresna Kepakisan at the Swecapura Gelgel castle. He was the brother of Arya Tabanan in the country of Tambangan (Tabanan). He also explained clearly how the adventure that he experienced from beginning to end. The chief is amazed and ask him to rest at his house. After the chief carried out the piodalan ceremony, he immediately held discussions with his clan brothers, such as Pasek Gaduh, Kebayan, Dangka, Ngukuhin, Tangkas, about the need to make him a palace and prepare for his coronation to become king as ruler in the Badeng or Badung region, and report to the King of Bali kingdom Shriaji Kresna Kepakisan at the Swecapura Gelgel castle. The king at Gelgel was very agreeable because anyway Arya Tegehkori is his son. At the age of a toddler he was banished from the family. At a young age with the blessing of the goddess Ida Bhatari Ulun Danu Batur and thanks to the approval of the King of Bali who was also his father and for the support of the people, he ascended the throne to become the first King of Badung kingdom.</br></br>In order for him to truly become a noble king in the Land of Badung, the chief again held a deliberation to build a palace worthy of him. The palace was built in the upper reaches of the village or in the north. After the palace was completed, it was there that the king Arya Tegeh Kori resided. After some time as king, he built two holy temple. The temple to worship the God of Agung mountainwas built to the east of the palace. The place for worshiping the goddes Bhatara Dewi Danu Batur is made to the west of the palace called Pura Batursari.</br></br>After a while the king then married. Then his son (2nd dinasty) built another palace, also still in the Badung area, because more and more people live in the Badung area and the condition of the land is fertile. After the second palace was built, it was named Puri Satria (Satria palace), as a characteristic that he was a descendant of Knights. Meanwhile, the Tegehkori palace (1st dinasty) in Tonja was named Puri Dalem Benculuk. In the recently completed castle, a pair of very tall palace gates were also built, none of which were on par in all of Bali. The disadvantage is that if it is broken, it is rather difficult to repair it, presumably that is His wish to build a very high gate at Puri Satria, so that it is in accordance with the name of his father in Tegehkori. The Tegehkori dynasty is ruling the kingdom from 1378 - 1687.</br></br>Chapter Two</br></br></br>Meanwhile at Tambangan (Tabanan) kingdom, after king Arya Kenceng passed away, his son Arya Tabanan replace him as king. He have crown prince name Ngurah Rangong. The old king Arya Tabanan suffered a seriuos illness, then moved to live at the village of Kebon Tingguh.

During the service, the king touched Luh Bendesa and become pregnant. From this relationship, Luh Bendesa then gave birth to a son who was named I Gusti Pucangan. Later on the king is passed away. After Arya Tabanan died, Ngurah Rangong become next king. But he is afraid that Pucangan someday will also claim his territory. Ngurah Rangong made efforts so that Pucangan would soon meet his death. Outside the Tambangan palace, there is a very sacred banyan tree. King Ngurah Rangong then ordered his younger brother, Pucangan, to cut the tree branches. However, to the great surprise of the brother, it turned out that the younger brother was still safe. Since then I Gusti Pucangan has been named Gusti Bagus Alit Notor Wandira. The king never stop to try to kill his brother. </br></br>Unable to stand it, Pucangan then left Tambangan palace to Mount Batur. On the shores of Lake Batur appeared the goddes Ida Bhatari Tolangkir who said: "Hi Pucangan, what are you looking for here alone?".</br>Gusti Pucangan replied: "Oh dear goddess, this servant is too troubled. I have a half brother who was made king by my father. Besides, my brother I Gusti Rangong was hostile to. ” Ida Batari again said: "If you are devoted to me, uphold me through the lake water, take me to Mount Batur". Pucangan replied: "I will do, even if it make myself sinking”. By the magical power of goddess Ida Bhatari, Pucangan walked safely across the lake to Mount Batur will upheld the goddess.</br>Goddes Ida Bhatari said: "O Pucangan, you truly devote to me, now I give you a whip and a tulup (a traditional Bali weapon made by bamboo) You must go to Gelgel palace and kill the king’s enemies in the form of raven, because they often ruin the king’s food. It is this whip and dipper that you used to kill that evil raven. After it is successful, someday you Pucangan will become king in the Land of Badung ”.</br></br>This incident occurred when the Balinese Kingdom, which was centered in Klungkung, was led by King Dalem Anom Sagening (1580-1665) who was residing at Puri Swecapura palace at Gelgel. Meanwhile, the King of Badung at that time was I Gusti Tegehkori V. The blessing of goddess Ida Bhatari and the approval of the King of Bali were the main assets obtained by Pucangan in achieving success of gaining power.</br></br>Prince Pucangan continued his journey, accompanied by a follower named Tambiak from Mount Batur to the Swecapura Palace at Gelgel. It was mentioned that Ida Dalem was in the hall faced by his prime minister. I Gusti Pucangan then confronted him and declared that he was able to kill the crow, who often ruined the king's food. King Ida Dalem was surprised, then asked: "Where are you from son and what is your name?". Pucangan replied: “Master, this servant is named is Pucangan from Buahan Village, son of the late king Arya Tabanan. I just came from Mount Batur ”, then he explained his life from the beginning until now. Immediately he also remembered Ida Dalem about the past stories and he was very happy about the arrival of someone who would help to destroy the crow.</br>The next day, the prime minister had gathered to meet Ida Dalem. In the afternoon the crow came who was going to spoil King's meal. Prince Pucangan quickly shoot the tulup, hitting the raven’s wing until it broke. After being hit and falling, King ordered to hit it with a whip, so that the crow met his death immediately. Ravens are often used as symbols of darkness, anger and death.</br></br>After that, the king was very happy. "Now, because of your great devotion to me," he was then presented with a set of clothes. He continued saying: "what else do you ask for?". Prince Pucangan remember with the words of goddess Ida Bhatari Tolangkir when he met on Mount Batur who would grant the area in Badung. Then the prince Gusti Pucangan asked to be given a place in the Badung area. With pleasure the King granted, then said: “I granted your request Pucangan, after all there at the land of badung, your family Arya Tegehkori at the Satria Palace ruled. You better get there, go ". Pucangan then go to Badung kingdom to be precise at the house of the chief of Lumintang Village.</br></br>Furthermore, the chief of Lumintang informed the king about the arrival of the prince Pucangan. The king Gusti Tegehkori IV was very happy to accept the arrival of his family, prince Pucangan. The king then give him 250 people to build a palace to the southwest of Puri Satria palace. The new palace was named Puri Jambe palace. The king then appointed him as punggawa (guardian knight) of Badung kingdom. </br></br>After king Tegeh Kori IV passed away, his son Tegeh Kori V replace him as king and have beautiful 15 years daughter named Ayu Genjot and handsome 13 year boy named Ngurah Raden. Prince Pucangan request the king to allowed his son to marry her daughter. But at other hand, the old king of Mengwi kingdom also propose the princess to marry his crown prince. At that time, Mengwi kingdom become more powerful and have larger troops than peaceful Badung kingdom. So the king decide to accept the Mengwi king’s propose. </br></br>Prince Pucangan is furious to hear that. Night before the Mengwi’s prince arrive to marry the princess, Pucangan with his troops storming the Satria palace. Pucangan is the guardian knight of Badung kingdom. He knows the palace so well and most of the troops is loyal to him. The palace is chaos and burn down. Considering the safety of his family, the king then decide to escape from the palace. Only five of them on that dark night Arya Dalem Tegehkori V (I Gusti Made Tegeh) escaped with the empress and her two sons and an in-law named Munang. His departure did not carry anything, only a box of inscriptions which was the heirloom of Puri Satria palace that he carried. All his cousins and other family also escape and scatter into many directions around Bali. The Tegehkori dynasty at Badung kingdom is fallen.</br></br>Chapter 3</br></br>Year 1724, During the five days he retreated in the mountain & forest, his children almost died because they did not eat anything. The group of Gusti Made Tegeh family arrived at a Village and went straight to the house of a village chief named I Pengkoh. It is very respectful that chief Pengkoh and his family entertain the guest of honor. For twenty days Gusti Made Tegeh group stayed at the house of the chief. One time, it was the middle of the dry season, so in a short time the rice supply in the barn ran out.

Meanwhile his wife and two children were left at chief’s house. After Gusti Made Tegeh left for the mountain, chief Pengkoh's evil thought occurred. His two children were ask to permission to his mother to accompany him to find rice. His mother agreed, so they left. In the middle of their journey, the children of Gusti Made Tegeh were tricked into making their way to the Denbukit area (later called Buleleng).

That's where he headed. It happened that King Denbukit was watching the Gambuh dance training. Those 2 person than talk and feel like each other. After some happy talk, he was asked to participate in Gambuh dance performance. It is difficult to find a comparison with the greatness of Gusti Made Tegeh in the art of Gambuh. Day and night the performance of Gambuh is joyful, which is why the king's palace was named Puri Sukasada.</br></br>After some period of time in clever disguise, Gusti Made Tegeh was very dear and trusted to King Denbukit. He was rewarded with as many as two hundred followers, including forty of whom were teenagers. He then assign into the sedahan agung (treasurer of the king) and also his war advisor.

However, he was not hurt in the slightest because his body was so invincible. King Mengwi said to his companions: "send me down, O soldier". Then He got down from the stretcher and immediately took a meditative stance. In an instant he changed his form into resemble Bhuta Sungsang, a giant with six eyes, six arms, six legs and six heads. It seems that no one will be able to match His supernatural powers in this world. There the troops brought by Gusti Made Tegeh felt fear and all of them ran helter-skelter. Meanwhile, Gusti Made Tegeh himself retreated and hid himself far enough to the west in the forest hills of Pedawa.</br></br>Returning to king of Mengwi, the assassination attempt he had just experienced did not dampen his steps towards the Sukasada Palace. On arrival at Puri Sukasada palace, laughing out loud, he received a warm welcome from King Denbukit whom asking for forgiveness. King Mengwi said: “Okay, son, there's no need to extend this issue because I already know that you only want to test my supernatural power.

You have never met someone like that, I have a feeling that he is a descendant of a famous knights ".</br></br>Then the king of Denbukit ordered his troops to look for Gusti Made Tegeh. However, even though they traces or days, they still cannot be found Gusti Made Tegeh. He was hiding at the top of a millet tree. When the troops approaching, there are some doves perch at the millet branch. Gusti Made Tegeh pray and begging to doves the millet tree to let him stay there. Normally, dove bird will fly away if there are people around it. But suddenly these doves singing. The troops saw it and assume that nobody there and passing by. Gusti Made Tegeh then make an oath that none of his descendant will eat millet fruit or harm any dove. </br></br> </br>Until 7 days he remained there. With a sluggish body, emaciated and very dirty, then he walked slowly leaving the millet field towards the west, taking refuge in the village of Patemon. The situation when he arrived at the village indicated that it was already evening. He headed for the rice trading house, wife of the puppeteer Patemon. He was very pity for her to see that his condition was very tired and emaciated, so she was invited him to their house and served with food.

In that village, he also made friends with the villagers. For about a month in Bunbunan Village, Arya Dalem's mind grew more restless. He is thinking about his family that might be executed because he failed the king’s order. Then he decide to go back to Sukasada palace to prepare his death sentence but will beg for his family life to spare. 10 of villagers accompany him.</br></br>Arriving at Puri Sukasada, the two kings were sitting rejoicing in the palace facing the royal servants. They was surprised to see people who had just arrived dressed all in white. The white cloth a sign that they will be willing to die if something unwanted happens. So Gusti Made Tegeh and his ten followers presented a bow while begging for mercy in front of the two kings if they were judged to have done something wrong. </br></br>The king of mengwi then ask Gusti Made Tegeh who he really is. Who is his true identity. He then said that he is the descendant of Arya Tegehkori, the founder of Badung kingdom. He tell them all his journey. King Mengwi then said: "O Arya, in my opinion, what you did to me was absolutely innocent. I thought, you only carrying out your loyalty towards the king of Denbukit, carrying out orders to attack. Now, my son the king of Denbukit, from now on never ever forget the loyalty and sincerity of the sacrifices that Gusti Made Tegeh has given to you forever ”.</br></br>After saying this, King Mengwi summoned a servant of his companion to take a keris and a spear at the place of his bed. After king Mengwi order that, Gusti Made Tegeh and all of his 10 followers immediately experienced extreme anxiety and fear. Of course they think that this is the time when the death sentence start. </br></br>The servant then handed over a keris and a spear, and was accepted by the King of Mengwi, saying: "O Arya, this is my gift in the form of a keris and a spear. This keris is called Carita Belebang, its usefulness is to maintain safety and the enemy doesn't dare see it. This spear is called Lelemon, it has great authority. This is proof so that from now on down from generation to generation, from life to death, never forget the descendants of King Denbukit, and also for my son the king of Denbukit, never forget Gusti Made Tegeh descendants forever. You must always help and support each other. Remember, whoever forgets this mandate of mine will find misery and heartbreak”</br></br>Thus again said the King of Mengwi: "And now, O Arya, which land that you will request ?”.</br>Hearing the words of King Mengwi which greatly pleased Gusti Made Tegeh, then he said: "If it is allowed, Bubunan Village is my request, because they are very loyal to me when I find trouble”.</br></br>Thus, Bubunan, Sulanyah, Tanguwisia Village was awarded to Gusti Made Tegeh. Then Gusti Made Tegeh and his family is allowed to return with his followers to Bubunan Village. For about 3 years he lived in Bubunan Village, because the land there was uneven. then they moved to Muntis Village ( later on change its name to Pengastulan village).</br></br>Epilogue</br></br>At Pengastulan, Gusti Made Tegeh became punggawa (guardian knight) and stay at a house name Jero Lingsir. Right to the west of his house he built an ancestral temple which was named Pura Badung as a honor to his ancestors whom was the King of Badung. He wrote all his extra ordinary journey into a manuscript called Prasasti Pura Badung. This prasasti is then passed through generations, along with his family tree. He and his descendant swear that they will always serve to Denbukit (Buleleng) kingdom forever.</br></br>Until later Dutch invade the kingdom and fall after the Great Battle of Jagaraga on 1849.d fall after the Great Battle of Jagaraga on 1849.)

  • Hanalei Swan  + (Hanalei Swan is a 15-year-old fashion desiHanalei Swan is a 15-year-old fashion designer, artist, speaker, and author. She leads by example – her goal is to inspire the next generation of conscious leaders.</br></br>HANALEI, it’s been a minute since we last spoke, can you tell us what you’ve been up to in the last couple of years?</br></br>I’ve taken a step back these last few years to really focus on what drives me creatively. Since we last spoke I feel like I’ve been through a huge reset, and this has allowed me to explore different passions including writing, which in turn has opened me up to new opportunities. I recently had the pleasure of being an author in the New York Times best-selling book Women Gone Wild!. I have also continued designing clothes, making artwork, writing, speaking and finding new ways to tell my story.</br></br>You were barely a teenager in Bali when we first caught up. How have your views changed since then?</br></br>I don’t think my views have changed necessarily; I just think they have been reinforced. I’m still focussed on creating sustainable fashion and educating other kids about making conscious decisions when buying clothing. I stand strong on sustainable fashion versus fast fashion, and it remains my mission to educate young consumers and set an example for other brands to start taking action on our problems in the fashion industry.</br></br>What projects are you involved in now, and what drives those projects?</br></br>These last few years have been very exciting. I’ve already mentioned the Women Gone Wild! book series, with its mission to inspire women around the world to take action on what they love. I’ve also been involved with the Shima Swan Surfboard Project, in partnership with We Are Mother Earth. This project is a symbolic gift for ocean health and takes a stand against the plans made by the company TEPCO to dump over 100 million tons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean as early as next year, which will affect our environment, as well as food supply chain to a dramatic extent. I’m also happy to announce I’ve been working on a new collection for my eco-friendly fashion company, HS Styles, which takes huge inspiration from my love for the ocean and surfing. I look forward to sharing more on this in the future.</br></br>What are the biggest threats facing us in the world today, and how do you think they affect you?</br></br>Globally, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world after oil and gas. It’s responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. This blows my mind. It takes over 750 gallons of water to produce a single cotton T-shirt, not to mention that 20% of global wastewater comes from textile dyeing, because the bulk of the production is in countries with little or no regulation, so the wastewater often finds its way to rivers and seas where it can wreak havoc.</br></br>I never thought that deeply about fashion’s effect on our planet before I learned about this. So, when I started my fashion brand at 11 years old, I knew I didn’t want to contribute to any further destruction. I knew I had to do it differently, which brought me to slow fashion. I only use suitable materials like bamboo, which takes roughly one percent of the water otherwise needed to make a t-shirt. I also committed to giving back, so this is where HS Styles began.</br></br>In today’s social media landscape, are we all guilty of putting self-promotion before these causes?</br></br>Yes, everyone is, but that’s okay. We don’t always have to focus on the negative things on our planet, but I do believe these topics should be talked about so we can inspire other people to use their voices to uplift causes they care about. It’s important that everyone recognises that they have a voice – the more we talk about sustainability, for instance, the more we can educate and effect change. If that means promoting yourself and your business as well, then so be it. The point is the whole platform gets larger, and this always translates into greater awareness for others to follow.</br></br>How can we do our part?</br></br>There are three simple ways you can help. Through your time, your money, and or sharing your voice. Using your time could mean volunteering at an organisation that is already working towards making change, finding ways you can support others. Using your money could mean donating to certain charities/organisations, being more conscious with your spending by limiting your purchases and consumption, changing your buying habits by shopping at more sustainable brands, or even buying second-hand/vintage clothing to give them a chance not to not end up in landfill. You can also use your voice – talking about problems you care about is one of the most powerful tools you have, whether through open conversations or social media. If we each make a small change, we can create a bigger impact. The more we educate, the more we can inspire people to start thinking and buying consciously.</br></br>Do you think it is possible to affect future outcomes, and how would you do that? Yes, I believe we are able to affect future outcomes, but I don’t believe I can change the world on my own. We are the change we wish to see in the world, and I believe by standing together to fight against fast fashion and other habits that contribute to the destruction of our planet we can make a difference. I hope by inspiring others I can create a butterfly or ripple effect that will lead to sustainable change, and I hope my company HS Styles can set an example to inspire other brands.</br></br>How do you see yourself in 20 years’ time?</br></br>I haven’t thought that far into my future to be honest, so I genuinely don’t know where I want to end up, but I certainly know I don’t want to put myself in a box. I want to stay open to new possibilities and opportunities that may come my way. Over time I know my interests and thoughts will change and I am open to that.</br></br>Where are we heading as a race in your generation?</br></br>Our future is not bright, especially when you look at the rapid speed of climate change and the continuation of fast fashion practices by huge corporations. It’s obvious we are slowly destroying our only planet, and I am scared for our future generations.</br></br>Do you still have hope?</br></br>Yes, but only if we start taking action right now. We need to find solutions for the problems we already have instead of continuing to create others. I believe it is the responsibility of big companies to take into account how they are affecting the earth. It needs to be our mission to make our voices heard and to stand for what we care about.</br></br>IG: @HanaleiSwan</br>FB: Hanalei Swan-HS Styles</br>www.hanaleiswan.com</br>www.wgwbook.comStyles www.hanaleiswan.com www.wgwbook.com)
