  • PENDIDIKAN SANE BECIK PINAKA PIRANTI ANTUK NINCAPANG KUALITAS SDM BALI  + (Ladies and gentlemen, jury and coaches whoLadies and gentlemen, jury and coaches who I respect, as well as the participants of the BASAbali Wiki Oration competition that I love. Om Sywastyastu. Through a pure and sinless heart, I never cease to express my gratitude to God Almighty, because with His blessings, I can meet with this audience today. In which I participate in the oration competition in today’s Public Participation Wikithon. Hopefully, events like this will continue to grow in the future, making Bali strong. Ladies and gentlemen, the subject of my oration is titled “Good Education as a Tool to Improve the Quality of Bali’s Human Resources”.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, what made me take that title? Because from a lot of what I see I conclude the youth in Bali do not get a good education. This makes it difficult for Balinese human resources to get a job that can develop the economy of the province of Bali. According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics in 2021, the percentage of Balinese who did not go to school was 1.03 thousand people or 24.04%; then those who did not graduate from elementary school were 377.18 thousand people or 8.83%. Based on these data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the government and Balinese people, especially students, should try to implement programs that can help Balinese people who have not received proper education. Then, what programs can be implemented? Let’s think together.</br></br>As a Balinese youth, I will provide solutions or suggestions to the ladies and gentlemen of the DPD Bali as well as the government who is the mouthpiece of the community, to always help provide good knowledge to all Balinese. The first suggestion: pay attention to the quality and quantity of the teachers. Teachers or educators are like the main key that will teach or provide knowledge to students. If teachers’ wages, facilities and accommodation are not good or adequate, it will affect the teaching process. Secondly, school and classroom support facilities should be prioritized. When the learning process takes place, but the facilities used are not complete, of course the teacher and students will have diffulties and the learning process in the classroom will be disrupted. The third suggestion is to provide the youth with positive out-of-school activities or out-of-school learning programs. Good examples are carrying out and participating in competitions, participating in community service programs as well as other useful work. With these activities students do not only to learn at school.</br></br>Ladies and gentlemen, based on the many things I have talked about, I would like to conclude as follows. The Balinese government and people should not underestimate education. Because through education, we can get a good job to improve the quality of Bali’s underdeveloped human resources. Also the Balinese are expected not to be swayed by the wealth that exists in today’s world, called “Industrial Revolution 4.0”. Let us together help Balinese who have not received a good education through positive and useful programs or activities. Lastly, we should introspect ourselves so as not to forget ourselves and together carry out our religious obligations by strengthening Bali.</br></br>Well, ladies and gentlemen whom I respect very much, that’s all I can say on this good day. Thank you to those who have witnessed my speech. Hopefully what I have said will be useful. For any shortcomings, let me apologize. In closing, I say paramasanthi. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.ramasanthi. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om.)

  • I Ketut Ngendon  + (Ngendon was among the first of the Batuan Ngendon was among the first of the Batuan painters to try the new art and was very influential on those who followed.</br>Due to the fact that Ngendon was acquainted with both Spies and Bonnet at an early stage, and because he was involved in organising toursist events, his art seems to reach a higher degree of Westernisation than his contemporaries from the Batuan region. Paradoxically it may well be true that it is due to Ngendon's influence and artistic leadership that the Batuan painters as a group preserved their own identity and did not become epigenists of any western artist (unlike some painters from the Ubud region). Illustrative is the example told by I Ketut Tombelos (Margaret Mead's field notes), where it is said that Ngendon had a violent disagreement with Bonnet regarding the paternalistic interventions of the latter towards the style and choice subject of Ngendon. Professor Hildred Geertz perceives a strong taboo against any sign of modernisation evident in the work of Batuan painters (op. cit. p. 17). Still she rightly suggests that it was Western modernity and Western forms of power that fascinated and inspired Ngendon (op. cit. p. 19).

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)
  • Mantle Hood  + (Obituary LA Times: Professor, Pioneer in Obituary LA Times: </br>Professor, Pioneer in Studying World’s Music and Cultures</br>(1918-2005)</br>“Mantle Hood was the first scholar to take seriously the study of what was then called nonWestern music, in the 1950s,” said Christopher Waterman, dean of UCLA’s school of arts and architecture and an ethnomusicologist. Hood joined the UCLA faculty in 1956 and created what is now the department of ethnomusicology in 1960. He envisioned a complete approach to the study of his field. He wanted students to learn at least two music traditions, their own and that of a culture new to them. He also urged them to learn to play a native instrument, drums for a student of West African music, for example. Common practice now, it was considered novel when he introduced the idea, which he referred to as bi-musicality. By learning several music traditions, Hood proved that the two could exist in harmony, according to Jacqueline Cogdell DjeDje, chairwoman of UCLA’s ethnomusicology department. (...) "Hood saw it as a way to teach students respect and understanding for “people and cultures different from their own,” DjeDje said. Hood also expected his graduate students to see and hear the music they studied as it was performed in its native setting. “Hood taught that the music comes out of the culture,” said Robert Garfias, professor of anthropology at UC Irvine and one of Hood’s first graduate students at UCLA. “His idea was to study the music as part of the culture.” Hood had been traveling the world from the time he graduated from UCLA in 1951 after earning a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in music. He received his doctorate from the University of Amsterdam, where he wrote a dissertation on Javanese music. After joining the faculty at UCLA, he was granted a Ford fellowship that allowed him to live in Indonesia for two years and study its music. He later studied in India on a Fulbright fellowship. An expert in the music of Java and Bali, Hood played all the instruments in a gamelan, an Indonesian symphony that consists of percussions, winds, strings and other instruments. During gamelan performances with his students, he played the rebab, a type of lute that is the lead instrument in the ensemble. Dozens of his UCLA students went on to teach ethnomusicology. Several of them founded programs at universities, including UC Berkeley. “Hood had a very powerful impact on how ethnomusicology is taught,” said Garfias, who founded a program at the University of Washington, Seattle, before moving to UC Irvine. Hood was born in Springfield, Ill., and moved to Los Angeles with his mother in the 1930s after his father died. He played piano and later learned the saxophone but didn’t expect a career in music. After high school, he worked at various jobs including as a draftsman at McDonnell Douglas. He also played saxophone in jazz bands. He served in the Army during World War II and returned to Los Angeles in 1945. After a false start as an agriculture student at UCLA, he found his true calling. Before he left the university in 1975, he wrote several books about his field, including “The Ethnomusicologist” (1971), which outlined research issues and questions related to what was then considered a new subject of study. An ethnomusicologist, Hood wrote, “is inclined to be highly sensitive to other human beings, to respect their scales of values and their behavior, even if these are not compatible with his own.” Hood moved from Los Angeles to Hawaii in 1973 and began to write self-published novels. “As a young man, he had his heart set on being a writer,” Marlowe Hood said. “As a teenager, he loved pulp fiction.” He set his potboilers in countries he had visited over the years. “Just a Stone’s Throw” is set in Bali. “The Keepers” is set in Hawaii and Japan. In 1980, he relocated to Maryland where he established an ethnomusicology program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. He wrote several more books about ethnomusicology and continued teaching until 1996. (...)

  • Pemulihan Ekonomi Bali Usan Covid-19  + (Of course, we are already familiar with CoOf course, we are already familiar with Covid-19. Who would have thought that this small virus could make such a big change in the last 2 years. Because of this virus we were made to stay at home for 2 years, imagine starting from the activities we initially did outside the home such as going to school, working and traveling abroad that had to stop because of this virus, we were made to stay at home for 2 years. Which of course brings a lot of changes in our lives. An example is tourism in Bali. Bali is an island in Indonesia which is often visited by tourists from various countries because it has its own charm. With the stay-at-home policy, of course the economic sector in Bali will decline. During the pandemic, tourism sites and access to Bali were closed. Community activity at tourist attractions in Bali has decreased. This caused Bali's economy to decline. With the closure of various tourist attractions in Bali, many people have become unemployed, this is compounded by policies at home. This has made people confused about finding money. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs and sources of income. In the end, the poverty level in Bali has increased.</br>And without realizing it, now we have entered 2023, where there has been a recovery of various sectors in society which have been stalled for the past 2 years. From here we have to restore Bali's economy. Regional governments need to pay attention to Bali's current economic conditions to revive Bali's economy which has been declining for the past 2 years.</br>The Covid-19 pandemic has hit Bali's economy hard. Bali's economy is very dependent on the tourism sector, so when there are mobility restrictions such as the stay at home policy, the tourism sector is paralyzed. Bali's economy also slumped. Therefore, the government needs to determine a concept for economic development that is not always based on the tourism sector. Bali's economic development must be directed to be more balanced, not only dependent on the tourism sector. Moreover, tourism areas are very vulnerable to changes in external factors. Both from security factors, natural and non-natural disasters that cannot be controlled. So every sector in Bali must also be considered, such as; agricultural, marine and fisheries sectors, manufacturing industry and industries based on Balinese branding culture, MSMEs and cooperatives, creative and digital economy, as well as the tourism sector. So by reviving all these sectors in Bali, it is hoped that Bali's economy can recover after Covid-19. So that Bali will always be prosperous.9. So that Bali will always be prosperous.)

  • 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.)

I’m a 26 year-old Brit, currently based between Sydney and Bali (the dream!); I moved over to Australia for university about six years ago and have been lapping up the sunshine ever since. I’m really excited to be chatting to you today and keen to share a fun new project I think you’ll like the sound of . . .</br></br>What are your current passions?</br></br>I take after the rest of my family, so travel is really important to me and has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Nothing excites me more than exploring new cultures. I’m also a drama kid at heart so I love the theatre, live music, fine dining . . . or just a good old party to be honest.</br></br>IG @Atomic.Blonde_ Who is she and when did you discover her?</br></br>Haha! 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. My sister is heading to do her first Karma sales training in India in a couple of months and I’m sure my brother will follow suit – once he finishes tearing it up on the school cricket pitch of course!</br></br>What are the strengths and touches that you, as a woman, will bring to what is typically seen as a male dominated service, a members club?</br></br>Oh, good one. 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.

  • Luh Ketut Suryani  + (Suryani was born in Singaraja, Bali in 194Suryani was born in Singaraja, Bali in 1944 and raised in modest surroundings with six children. Her father was a nurse and an integral part of Indonesia’s struggle against the Dutch. Suryani’s mother was a successful business woman who supported the family’s finances.</br></br>Motivated by a strong will to treat her young sick mother, Suryani learned meditation when she was only 14. While many of her family members initially doubted her abilities, they were surprisingly convinced to see her mother cured. Suryani then began treating sick people in her community through meditation.</br></br>After graduating from high school, Suryani studied medicine at Udayana University in Bali, where she specialized in psychiatry. In 1982, she received her degree as a psychiatrist—a profession she chose out of an innate curiosity to understand her upbringing and its effects on her current personality. In 1988 Suryani attained her Ph.D. from Airlangga University, Surabaya.</br></br>While working as the head psychiatrist at Udayana University in Bali, Suryani introduced a more efficient standard operational procedure to manage mentally ill patients. The procedure decreased the treatment from one month to six days in the residency hospital. While the procedure was initially accepted and did result in numerous adjustments, the hospital chief of staff eventually rejected it and discontinued its use.</br></br>Through her academic and clinical practices, Suryani has been resilient in her attempts to bridge indigenous spirituality with Western psychiatry and psychology. While many have criticized her findings, Suryani’s approach is widely considered a breakthrough in the field of psychiatry.

  • CHEF DAIJIRO HORIKOSHI  + (TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a masteTAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a master artisan who has devoted his life to perfecting Kaiseki cuisine.</br></br>Chef Daijiro San … with respect you don’t sound like any ‘normal’ kind of Chef to us … what’s your story and how did you end up in Bali? Did you train in a Japanese kitchen, and did it involve years of internship under a Master?</br></br>I am the son of the third generation of a tempura restaurant located in Osaka. The restaurant had a 62-year history before it closed. My grandmother started the restaurant, and my mom took over before I eventually took over from her. I ran the restaurant for over 16 years, and in 2012, I moved to Bali. When I was 13 years old, I had the opportunity to travel with my stepfather, who was a Native American leader from the United States named Dennis Banks. We travelled to 23 countries around the world, and this experience exposed me to different cultures, religions, and people. When I decided to move to Bali, it was because my wife had a dream of living on a tropical island. We wanted our children to have a global experience and learn English, so we chose Bali as it offered a mix of different cultures. It was the perfect balance for us, and we couldn’t find it anywhere else in the world.</br></br>Tell us first about KOHAKU, and your journey to making edible crystals…</br></br>Although I don’t have a pastry background, I grew up in a traditional Japanese environment due to my grandmother’s influence. She was a geisha and introduced me to various aspects of Japanese art, tradition, and confections. When I moved to Bali, I missed Japanese sweets, as they were not readily available, so I started making Japanese confections on my own. I never thought about turning it into a business until a friend suggested it. Together with another friend, we started the business, and my wife encouraged me to pursue it further. That’s how our Japanese confection brand, KOHAKU, came to be.</br></br>How does this relate to cuisine in Japan?</br></br>Kohakuto, which means ‘amber sugar’ in Japanese, has a connection to Japanese tea ceremonies. Japanese confectionery has always been closely associated with tea and tea ceremonies. The tea ceremony involves not only tea but also meals, and it holds a deep relationship with Japanese cuisine.</br></br>There are two types of kaiseki, one for parties and the other for tea ceremonies. Both have a connection with tea and confections. So, the idea of creating edible crystals relates to the long-standing tradition of Japanese traditions.</br></br>Why does Japanese cuisine appear so different and innovative to Westerners, compared to more traditional styles, like say classic French, or Italian? Should the Old School be more innovative?</br></br>I don’t see a big difference between Japanese cuisine and other traditional styles like French or Italian. Each cuisine reflects its own history, culture, and region. I don’t think one is more innovative than the other. It’s difficult to answer whether the old school should be more innovative because innovation is subjective. What may seem innovative today might become traditional in the future. As chefs, we are always learning and trying to create dishes that make people happy. We focus on making something good rather than just being innovative. Our job is an ongoing journey of learning and creating.</br></br>Where does innovation go too far, and when should we recognize and respect classic cooking practices?</br></br>From my perspective, innovation goes too far when it becomes disconnected from our everyday lives and focuses solely on being different for the sake of standing out. Some chefs get caught up in trying to show how they are different from others, losing sight of the true essence of cooking. It’s like we lose our direction and wander aimlessly. Whether it’s in cooking or any aspect of life, we need to take a moment to pause, reflect on where we stand, and look back at our past and the processes that brought us here. It’s essential to respect the ingredients we use and show appreciation to everyone involved, not just for the sake of being different.</br></br>Tell us about Takumi, your restaurant, and the inspiration behind it.</br></br>Takumi is a restaurant where we currently serve Kaiseki-style Japanese cuisine. We offer a choice of nine-course or six-course degustation menus, and we will soon be launching vegan courses as well. Our focus is on traditional and authentic Japanese cuisine. The inspiration behind Takumi is unique. We are not simply importing Japan to Bali; instead, we are creating Japan here. We utilize the amazing local ingredients available in Bali and Indonesia, embracing the wealth of flavours they offer. As a Japanese chef, I incorporate Japanese culinary techniques and strive to express the true essence of Japanese cuisine. Additionally, I am passionate about training young chefs in Bali, sharing my knowledge, skills, and the history and philosophy of Japanese cuisine, in order to elevate the level of Japanese culinary expertise in the region.</br></br>Why is great service such an important part of the culinary experience?</br></br>Great service is crucial because it enhances the overall dining experience. When customers pay a significant amount for their meals, they should be able to enjoy them fully. It’s important to create an atmosphere where people can feel happy and comfortable. The emotions and atmosphere in a restaurant can significantly impact the perception of the food. Service acts as an additional spice that complements the dishes coming out of the kitchen. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the complete experience – from the moment guests enter the restaurant until they leave. We aim to leave a lasting memory and ensure that our guests have a truly enjoyable time at our restaurant.</br></br>Who are your heroes in the world of cooking?</br></br>Although it may sound cliché, my heroes in the world of cooking are my grandmother and my mother. However, my true heroes are the young chefs working in the Takumi kitchen. Each of them brings their unique experiences, which I have never had. Their willingness to learn and their different perspectives make them admirable and worthy of respect. These young chefs are my heroes because they challenge themselves and strive to become respected in the culinary industry.</br></br>What knives do you use?</br></br>I primarily use a small petty knife. I don’t have a specific brand preference. I own several Japanese knives, but my favourite is the small petty knife, which I use for personal use at home. I don’t typically use large knives in my cooking.</br></br>What’s the most exciting new ingredient you are incorporating into your food?</br></br>Well, every week brings new and exciting ingredients to our kitchen, even if they are the same vegetables we’ve used before. Each batch has its own unique qualities, and that’s what makes it thrilling. We have conversations with the ingredients, exploring their potential and listening to what they have to say. When they arrive in the kitchen, we greet them and get to know them. ‘Hello, my name is blah blah blah, who are you?’ We might say to a red radish. It’s a delightful way to engage with the ingredients and understand their desires. Do they want to be a sauce, a garnish, or simply shine on their own? We listen to their aspirations and help them become what they want to be. It’s the chef’s job, and it’s the most enjoyable and exciting aspect of our work.</br></br>What motto inspires your life as a chef?</br></br>Well, I’ve touched on this in previous answers, but it’s a question worth pondering. As a chef, I find immense joy and satisfaction in working with ingredients and creating dishes. It’s the happiness and fun that come from this process. There are many people involved in the culinary world, from suppliers to farmers, fisherman, and even drivers. My motto is simple: I want to make people happy. I strive to bring joy to others through my creations and my work. It’s not just about the guests; it’s about everyone who is connected to food and to me. I want to contribute to a collective happiness and create a positive impact within this circle. As a chef, I am just one part of a larger ecosystem, and my goal is to make everyone in this circle happy.</br></br>IG & FB: @kohakubali</br></br>www.kohakubali.com</br></br>IG: @takumibali</br></br>FB: @Takumi Bali</br></br>www.takumibali.comkumibali FB: @Takumi Bali www.takumibali.com)
  • Dadalan Sejarah Wangunan Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali  + (THE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THETHE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLE</br>Sporadic struggles for independence against the Dutch Colonial Government emerged in most parts of Indonesia. The violent oppressions by the Dutch resulted many rebellions in various dominions of kingdoms and sultanates under the Dutch colonialism. But unfortunately, the Dutch could easily suppress them by applying their divide et impera (divide and rule) tactic to break the strength of those kingdoms and sultanates by playing off against each other, between a king and the other, between the royal family and the king, the king and his people, and between people as well.</br>The long war experiences and also the more and more Indonesian youth got academic education had aroused the spirit of unity among various social strata and ethnic groups and the awareness to defend their country and to drive away the colonizers. It was initiated by a number of intellectual youths from various regions that on October 28th, 1928, for the firsttime, the Indonesian youth held a conference in which they declared the so called the Sumpah Pemuda or the Youth Pledge. They swore that they were of one mother country: Indonesia, one nationality: Indonesian, and of one language: Bahasa Indonesia or the Indonesian language. This declaration was simultaneously participated by many youth organizations from various islands and ethnics in Indonesia such as, Jong Java of Central and East Java, Jong Pasundan of West Java, Jong Minahasa of North Sulawesi, Jong Ambon of Maluku, Jong Celebes of Sulawesi, Jong Madura, Jong Sumatranen, Jong Batak of Batak ethnic group, etc which later on resulted an idea to form the Jong Indonesia to accomodate all ethnics in Indonesia.</br>This spirit of Sumpah Pemuda has also awakened various youth organizations in Indonesia.One well-known organization, among others, is Sarekat Islam, which was originally as a mere religious movement, then developed into the first popular movement in Indonesia, then the Indische Partij party which also moved in politics. At that time on the island of Java nationalist figures emerged such as dr. Soetomo, HOS. Cokroaminoto, Suwardi Suryaningrat (Ki Hadjar Dewantoro), Douwes Dekker, Tjipto Mangunkusumo, Agus Salim, Soekarno, Muhammad Hatta, and so on. Their pioneering work eventually also inspired other regions to do the same, namely to unite the regions in expelling the Dutch occupation, one of which was a struggle carried out by the Balinese people.</br>Bali Island is one of the bases of the struggle against the Dutch, among which the famous is the Jagaraga War of 1848-1849 in Buleleng, the Kusamba War of 1849, the Banjar People’s Resstance in 1868, the Puputan Badung War of 1906 launched by the King of Badung, Puputan Klungkung in 1908 and also the Puputan Margarana War in the Marga Village of Tabanan conducted by Liutenant Colonel I Gusti Ngurah Rai along with Laskar Ciung Wanara who had waged in all-out war (Puputan) against the Dutch in 1946.</br>The struggle performed by I Gusti Ngurah Rai has left deep memories for the people of Bali, so as to commemorate his services, a monument, street name, airport name, and so on were erected. The awarding of his services is solely because he has set an example to the younger generation in the struggle for independence which is done unconditionally. The government’s attention to the services of the fighters in Bali was realized by the construction of a grand monument located in the Niti Mandala area, Denpasar known as the the Monument of Balinese Struggle.</br>What is presented in this monument is to recall all the struggles of the Balinese heroes before and after independence. It is also hoped that this monument will also has some benefit in an effort to increase the appreciation of the younger generation in living up to the patriotic values demonstrated by the heroes who sacrifice all his body and soul in defending the dignity of his people without ever expecting retribution.</br>The monument was designed by Mr. Ida Bagus Gede Yadnya, a young man who was at that time was a student in the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, Denpasar. He succeeded in winning and becoming a champion in the design competition of the the Monument of Balinese Struggle which was carried out in 1981 by setting aside his senior architects in Bali.</br>After the design and drawing improvements were made, in August 1988 through the budget of the Provincial Government of Bali a groundbreaking was carried out, as a sign of the start of the construction of the monument. After going through various obstacles and trials due to the depreciation of the Rupiah in 1997, finally this monument could be completed also in 2001. After that, the development was continued with the making of dioramas that depicted the life history of the Balinese from time to time. In addition to the dioramas, a park was also built to add the beauty and comfort of this monument, which as a whole could be completed in 2003. On June 14, 2003, in conjunction with the Opening of the 25th Bali Arts Festival in 2003, Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri had the pleasure of inaugurating the Monument of Balinese Struggle. Since then the monument has been officially opened for public.</br>PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES</br>The purpose of making dioramas that tells a story of the struggle of the Balinese people is to reconstruct important historical events that have occured in Bali, so that what is implied in them will be more easily appreciated by younger generation.</br>The aim is to perpetuate the spirit of the struggle of the Balinese people from time to time and pass down the spirit of patriotism in the form of self-sacrifice, love of the motherland, love of unity and love of peace, togetherness to the next generation of the nation, and the main thing is to maintain the integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (Homeland).</br>THE PHILOSOPHICAL BASIC OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLE</br>This monument is an embodiment of lingga and yoni. Lingga is male symbol (purusa), while yoni is female symbol (pradana). The meeting between the two elements is a symbol of fertility and well-being. In addition to the Lingga-Yoni philosophy, this monument is also based on the philosophy of the Mandara mountain screening (Mandara Giri) in ocean of milk (Ksirarnawa). This story comes from the Adi Parwa book, the first chapter (parwa) of the Mahabarata epic. It is said that the gods and giants (daitya) sought the water of eternal life (tirtha amertha) by turning around Mandara mountain in the ocean of milk. The implementation of the screening of mount Mandara is regulated as follows:</br>1. Turtles (akupa) as the base of mount Mandara</br>2. Besuki Dragon (Naga Besuki) as a strap and turning mount.</br>3. The gods hold the dragon’s tail and the daitya hold the head, while at the top of the mountain sits God Shiva.</br>After working with great difficulty turning the Mandara mountain then successively came out: crescent (Ardha Chandra), Goddess Sri and Laksmi, flying horse (kuda Ucaisrawah), tree of happiness (Kastuba Mani), and the last came out Goddess Dhanwantari who brought Tirta Amertha. The story of searching for Amertha water is then reflected in the shape of this monument, with the following explanation:</br>1. The earthen pitcher containing tirta amertha was symbolized by a kind of pot (swamba), which is located on the top of the monument.</br>2. Naga Besuki’s tail is realized near the pot.</br>3. The head of the dragon is manifested in the entrance gate (Kori Agung).</br>4. Turtle (Bedawang Nala/ akupa) as the foundation of the monument is located on the edge of the lake and its head on Kori Agung.</br>5. The pond that surrounds the monument as the symbol of Ocean of milk (Ksirarnawa).</br>6. Mandara mountain (Mandara Giri) as the overall shape of the monument building.</br>Philosophically, the initiators of this monument wish to give a message to the younger generation that the struggle to achieve success can only be done with hard work, perseverance, and mutual cooperation as told when the Gods and Daitya together seek eternal life.</br>Another symbol depicting the power of God Almighty (Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa) contained in this building is a building plan in the shape of an octagon and an eight-leaf lotus. The eight-leaf lotus is called Asta Dala as a symbol of the omnipotence of God Almighty called Asta Aiswarya, namely:</br>1. Anima : the mildness nature like atom.</br>2. Lagima : the lightness nature like ether.</br>3. Mahima : the great nature that fills all places.</br>4. Prapti : the nature of reaching all desired places.</br>5. Prakamya : all wills are achieved by Him.</br>6. Isitawa : the nature of dominating everything and the most important One.</br>7. Wasitwa : the most powerful character.</br>8. Yatrakama Wasayitwa : His nature and His will cannot be challenged.</br>The symbol of patriotism and nationalism can be found in the 17 number of foot steps towards the main entrance, 8 main pillars of the building and the height of the monument is 45 meters. If these figures are strung together, the numbers 17, 8, and 45 are arranged which show the date, month, and year of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence, August 17, 1945.

  • Program KIP ring Kabupaten Bangli kari Salah Sasaran.  + (The Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) is also calThe Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) is also called the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP). This is the Jokowi government's first program which is part of the Healthy Indonesia Card (KIS) and the Prosperous Family Card (KKS). The Smart Indonesia program aims to increase access for school-age children from poor families to school. KIP is a card intended for poor and vulnerable families who want to send their children (aged 7-18 years) to school for free. KIP recipients are given regular cash funds from the government which are stored in the KIP card function to attend school for free, both those who have registered and those who have not yet registered in schools or madrasas so that the dropout rate can drop drastically.</br></br>So, the target of KIP is for students who excel and are less fortunate. But in fact its implementation is not in line with expectations, many cases occur regarding KIP being mistargeted. One of them occurred in Bangli Regency. A real example is in my own village, namely Banua Village. Those who are entitled to get KIP (Smart Indonesia Card) are children or students whose families are on the line or in the Poor Family Card (KK) group so that at first glance the KIP program is right on target, but if you look more deeply In fact, the KIP or PIP program still finds errors in its implementation. There are many students in my village whose families are not in the poor family, but in fact these students are underprivileged students. And because of the implementation of the poor KK, students who are not included in the poor KK, who are in fact less well off, cannot make KIP. Even though these students are students who excel and really need the KIP. An example of a student who experiences KIP inaccuracies is myself. I'm not in the poor KK line so I can't get the KIP, even though in fact I really need the card myself. Not to mention that the KIP cannot be made because I am not a poor family member, but in reality my family and I are not someone who can afford it. So, that was the inaccuracy of KIP in Bangli Regency, so what about the wrong target? I have also experienced this wrong KIP target. At that time, I was in junior high school, one of my friends from Trunyan Village had a KIP and received a scholarship even though he himself was someone who was capable and quite rich, had a nice house and had no economic difficulties. This is what makes me feel that KIP in Bangli is still not on target and its implementation tends to be inappropriate and even unfair. Then what solution should the government take? In my opinion, what the government must do to overcome the problem of inaccuracy and wrong targeting of the KIP is, first to do research on the students who receive the KIP, whether they are really underprivileged students? We can see this from the condition of their homes, their parents' jobs, their parents' income every month and so on, well if someone fulfills the things that make them get KIP as I explained above and they are a smart and outstanding student then in my opinion they are worthy of getting KIP. In short, the Bangli Regency Government must be more careful in recruiting students who are worthy of receiving the KIP.dents who are worthy of receiving the KIP.)

The number of motorized vehicles and cars increases every day. As a result, cars, public transportation and motorbikes pile up on the streets, traffic jams occur. Congestion can also slow down the performance of people who are stuck in traffic jams. Workers will be late arriving at work and students will arrive late at school. This especially happens to people who choose to use private transportation rather than public transportation.</br> Traffic jams occur because too many people use motorized vehicles or cars and also because many road users do not comply with traffic regulations.</br> On this occasion I would like to invite you to overcome traffic jams in Bali. If we cannot overcome them, at least we can reduce traffic jams in Bali. There are 2 main things we can do to reduce congestion. First, use public transportation, don't use private vehicles, using public transportation can reduce the volume of vehicles on the road. In the end, traffic jams will be reduced. Second, get used to walking if the distance is not too far. This method is simple but difficult to do. Even though walking is healthy, and by walking we are contributing to reducing traffic jams in Bali. I am sure that by taking these 2 actions traffic jams in Bali can be reduced.</br> However, the Bali Government is expected to improve the comfort and safety of public transportation. I am sure that if public transportation is safe and comfortable, there will be more passengers. Finally, the number of private transportation users will decrease by itself.</br> This is all I can say, hopefully it is useful for all of us. Sorry if there are wrong words and actions. For your attention I would like to thank.</br> </br> OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OMk. OM, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, SHANTIH, OM)

It is no wonder that he spoke six languages - Spanish, French, English, Tagalog, Indonesian and a bit of Balinese. After completing high school in Manila, Blanco studied at the National Academy of Art in New York under Sidney Dickinson. During those early formative years, Blanco concentrated on the human form, fascinated by the female body more than any other subject matter. To further his studies and ignite his traveling spirit, he traveled extensively throughout the world before he finally landed in Bali in 1952. The King of Ubud gave Blanco a piece of land to set up his home and studio in Campuan, Ubud, at the confluence of two sacred rivers. Blanco and his Balinese wife, the celebrated dancer Ni Ronji, lived in their mountain retreat, barely leaving it for the world outside. Following a brief trip to the United States, where Blanco acquired many new collectors, the couple never left their fantasy home again.</br></br>Living in serene surroundings with his four children, Tjempaka, Mario, Orchid and Maha Devi, Bali became Blanco's center. He was fascinated by the island and completely captivated by its charm.</br> </br>Blanco lived and worked in his magical hilltop home until his death in 1999, feverishly creating his fantasy portraits of beautiful women. Surrounded by lush gardens, rice fields and with a Banyan tree standing over his family's temple, Antonio Blanco proceeded to create a new reality for himself. His artistic outpourings of this isolated world became much sought after by eager art lovers, collectors and promoters. Within a few years, Blanco became the most famous foreign artist to make Bali his home. He was recognized in both Indonesia and abroad, receiving numerous Blanco Awards and commanding huge prizes at international auctions.</br></br>By the end of his life, Blanco had begun building his museum at his studio in Campuan. Dramatically, he died just before its inauguration. His funeral was marked by a very important Blanco Cremationin Ubud. It was Blanco's dream to turn his studio-mansion into a museum. His son, Mario, fulfilled this dream by following his path to become a painter. The Blanco Renaissance Museum is now open to the public, exposing both the maestro's and Mario's art works. both the maestro's and Mario's art works.)

  • 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!)

  • 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.

Compared to hard news photography, documentary requires more length of time when it comes to the creative process. Therefore, it demands work consistency and usually more production cost.</br></br>With all those challenges, Putu Sayoga, a Bali based photographer, is still in love with this unique style of photography. As a self-taught, he started his career from scratch in 2009, when he was a college student in Gadjah Mada University, Jogjakarta. During that initial period, documentary photography was already appealing for him. This form allows him to be acquainted with his photo subjects and has a longer interaction with them, so later he could present works that are narratively and visually more powerful.</br></br>Documentary opens up a wider horizon for Sayoga to expand his ideas and aspirations. It gives more space for him to tell the thorough stories of his photo subjects. Most of his photographs give a voice to the unheard inspirational figures and stories that are not yet sufficiently covered by the media. His works not only thought-provoking but poetically captured the genuineness and complexity of human beings.</br></br>One of his intriguing projects is “Library with the Horse,” (2015). It is a touching story about Ridwan Sururi, a horse caretaker who dedicates his time to create a small mobile library called “Kuda Pustaka” that is attached to his horse. Every week Sururi and his horse go around his village in Purbalingga, Central Java, giving free access for kids to read books. This documentary has been published in international media such as The New York Times and Aljazeera. Surprisingly, following the publication, many people around the world contacted Sayoga and donated books for Sururi’s library. It is definitely an example of how powerful storytelling can be!</br></br>Currently Sayoga has two ongoing projects. The first one started in 2013, encompasses the change caused by modernization at his own village that is located in a rural area in Bali. The other one entitled, “Living under the Volcanoes,” begins in 2017. This long-term project tells stories about the life of societies who over generations settle near the volcanoes in Indonesia; how they are living with the danger and their culture.</br></br>There are more than 150 volcanoes in this country. For his ambitious project, Sayoga has explored 6 of them including Mount Agung, Mount Ijen, Bromo, Dieng Plateau, Sinabung, and Gamalama.

  • Pikobet luu lan kresikan pelemahan Bali  + (Garbage and cleanliness problems in Bali hGarbage and cleanliness problems in Bali have often become the main complaints of tourists on our Island of the Gods. The same thing that impressed me when I was in Bali was the amount of rubbish in famous tourist spots in Bali, such as the area around Dreamland Beach, the streets around the Bedugul tourist area, and in the temple tourist areas in Bali.</br></br> It is very interesting that apart from the plastic waste that is still strewn about in Bali, there is also a lot of rubbish left over from prayers, which when I was in Bali, the Balinese rama people were in activities to welcome Galungan and Kuningan. For Balinese krama people, this may be a common thing, because after the ceremony there is usually a cleaning carried out by staff from the local government.</br></br> However, it is important to remember that many tourists, both foreign and domestic, are still not used to seeing our habit of 'dirtying' tourist attractions after performing prayers and traditional ceremonies. Unlike in Indonesia, abroad there are no special officers who clean streets and public places. It would be nice if we kept the environment clean without having to depend on street cleaners.</br></br> Overcoming the problem of waste and environmental cleanliness can be done by getting us into the habit of cleaning the surrounding home environment. Don't be embarrassed to invite our friends together to clean tourist areas in Bali. The cleaner Bali is, the more our confidence will increase in promoting Bali as the best tourist destination in the world, which of course can improve the economy of the Balinese people.</br></br> Apart from that, the Balinese people must be able to reduce the amount of rubbish that is scattered around starting from individuals, whether in the form of plastic waste, the environment, or waste from prayers.</br></br> Reducing the amount of waste scattered around does not mean limiting our work that produces waste. Real steps we can take are to always throw away rubbish in the right place, not pollute the temple area by getting used to throwing away the canang and incense left over from our prayers in the rubbish bin, and getting used to picking up rubbish that is in front of us. If necessary, don't hesitate to create a charity activity with your middle school, high school and college friends to work together to clean up tourist attractions in Bali.</br></br> There is a very good example that we can emulate from the island of Okinawa - Japan, which in fact is a tourist spot whose conditions are similar to Bali. A small example is getting us into the habit of shopping using shopping bags that can be used repeatedly, in this way we will reduce the amount of plastic waste in Bali.</br></br> Think about it carefully, if we don't have Balinese culture, who else wants to maintain cleanliness and care about the waste problem in Bali? and care about the waste problem in Bali?)

  • ngiringja iraga mebakti ring ajeng  + (Hello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what iHello Bahasa bali wiki, do you know what is the meaning of garbage? Do you know how many types of garbage there are? Garbage is the remaining waste from a product or item that is no longer used but can still be recycled into valuable items. Waste can be divided into 2 types, including organic waste and inorganic waste.</br>Organic waste can be an environmentally friendly type of waste. If properly managed, it can even be a source of something useful. However, due to the rapid decomposition of organic waste, organic waste can cause disease and unpleasant odours if not managed properly. "Hi Baliwiki friends, do you know how many types of organic waste there are? Organic waste is divided into 2, including wet and dry organic waste.</br> 1. Liquid - organic waste</br>Wet organic waste is defined as organic waste that contains a large amount of water. Examples of wet organic waste are vegetable waste, rotten banana peel, onion peel and the like.</br> 2. Dry - organic waste </br>Dry organic wastes are organic wastes that contain a small amount of moisture. Examples of dry organic waste include wood, tree limbs, tree trimmings, wood and dry leaves.</br>Inorganic waste is waste that is no longer in use and is difficult to decompose. Inorganic waste that is buried in the soil can cause soil pollution. This is because inorganic waste is classified as a persistent substance and the waste is buried in the soil for a long time, causing damage to the soil layer. </br>Examples of inorganic waste are: plastic, beverage bottles/cans, crackling, etc.</br>"Now, having explained, have you guys understood? I hope you have". </br>"Do you know what will happens when you mix organic and inorganic waste?</br>Mixing organic and inorganic waste not only causes odour and unsightliness. This pile of mixed organic and inorganic waste can be a threat to human life. Organic waste produces harmful leachate. This liquid can degrade the quality of the soil and air around the waste. Can separating waste help? But what is the importance of waste separation in Indonesia?</br>The importance of waste separation". Rubbish? Hello! Horrible! Everyone avoids it. Everyone gets annoyed when there's rubbish around. Right? Try to imagine if your room was full of other people's rubbish. Wouldn't you be angry? Surprisingly, many of us do litter. If you're riding a motorbike, you casually litter; if you're studying in class, you casually throw rubbish on the floor and don't pick it up. The funny thing is, when you come to a place with a lot of rubbish, you sneer and mutter: "WHAT A SLOB"</br>The importance of waste separation is therefore the facilitation of further waste management. In addition to facilitating further waste management, the sorting of organic and inorganic waste can also reduce air pollution caused by the accumulation of waste that is still mixed between organic and inorganic waste.</br>I took an example of a waste sorting programme from one of the schools in South Kuta, namely SMA Negeri 3 Kuta Selatan. If there is such a programme, are you sure that all the students will follow and implement the programme correctly? "After a lot of instruction from the teachers to the students in the school, it is not necessarily the students and the students will implement the programme correctly, the students and the students consider the programme as a waste sorting programme.</br>The school has provided 10 garbage cans with names and pictures, but the sorting of waste is very complicated;</br>The trash bins provided by the school include:</br> 1. Aluminium litter bin</br> 2. Organic waste bin</br> 3. Pedal bin</br> 4. Plastic waste bin</br> 5. Plastic waste bin</br> 6. Bottle cap bin</br> 7. Clean pet waste bin</br> 8. Residue bin</br> 9. Single layer bin</br>10. Multi-layer bin</br>However, the students at the school still have a mixture of organic and inorganic waste in the same place, which is a bit of a mess, isn't it?</br>The school does not yet have a caretaker to sort the waste. However, the school has been working with the KOMUNITAS PLASTIK EXCANGE KUTA SELATAN and once a month the waste is transported to the school. The school does not know the amount of waste for a month. This is because the school has recently implemented the waste sorting programme.</br>A good example of another school that I have received is from one of the schools in Malang, namely SMA 2 Malang as Adiwiyata Mandiri School Inspiring with Sustainable Waste Management Programme. The success of SMAN 2 Malang's waste management programme is a real example of how education and action can positively impact the environment. It is hoped that this programme will inspire other schools to adopt sustainable waste management practices and create a greener and more environmentally conscious learning environment.onmentally conscious learning environment.)
