He currently lives and works in Yogyakarta and Bali. As a painter, sculptor and performance artist, he is hailed as one of the most important young artists to watch out for. His canvases are highly charged with the energy, or qi, that is suggestive of Chinese calligraphy masters. While Chinese calligraphy influences his technique, his subject matter captures the essence of Balinese religious and tribal rituals. The visual impact of his canvases is explosive yet contemplative. They reflect the mutual desire for harmony in order and chaos, a oneness with the universe. Man as the centrifugal figure in paintings is distinctively Sutawijaya and continues to be prominent in his works.Putu Sutawijaya draws his inspirations from the various Balinese religious rituals. He is especially fascinated with the way communion takes place, where spiritual enlightenment is attained through trance, intoxication and even violence.Movement, energy and trance are the three most powerful stimuli in his canvases. The movements and stance of the kecak dance are symbolic of the Great Gods (sanghyang). The kecak dance is an intense spiritual dance by a large group of people.A mental and spiritual climax is reached when the soul suddenly rises to a level of experience much more profound than daily consciousness. At that moment appears a peak of self confidence and extraordinary bliss like a trance, followed by enlightenment. Out of these are born paintings of such intense expression that they reach the farthest limits of universal concepts.the farthest limits of universal concepts.)

Panglalah teknologi ring kawéntenan lapangan kerja + (Rapid technological developments have brou … Rapid technological developments have brought many advances in various areas of life, including the world of work. 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. 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. 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 w … Richard Winkler dream of a utopian world where man and nature were tightly integrated. and then he woke up in it.Richard, how did your upbringing influence your artistic style?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.What was your initial impression of Bali, and how did it inspire your art?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.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.Can you describe your creative process and how it has evolved over time?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.Do you see Bali as a colourful Utopian paradise?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.)

Scion Charlotte Spence + (Scion Charlotte Spence has a plan for all … Scion Charlotte Spence has a plan for all you luxury, globe-trotting party vagabonds. Behold the House of Karma.Charlotte, can you give us a brief background of who you are, and what brings you here today?Hey, of course! This feels like a first date. 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 . . .What are your current passions?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.IG @Atomic.Blonde_ Who is she and when did you discover her?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.You are about to launch House of Karma. Briefly, tell us what it is?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.You are finally working for your father?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!Do you have any other siblings joining the ranks?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!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?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.What type of person would a HoK member be?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!Can you tell us more about the Bali launch?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!And the international roll out?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.House of Karma is highly inclusive. Can you tell us about some of the LGBTQIA+ events you have in the planning?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.More bang for your buck. Can you tell us what perks and privileges members can enjoy on joining?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…How does the House of Karma benefit from the global aspect of the original Karma brand?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.And vice versa, how does the group benefit?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.Lastly, you are looking to create global FOMO around HoK member’s wristbands. Any hints at how you intend to achieve this?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. Get ready to see an influx of ‘HoK’ bracelets hitting the wrists of those around you soon . . .Tel: +62 361 848 2202; +62 811 38203360 IG: @wearehouseofkarmawww.houseofkarma.com.auhouseofkarma@karmagroup.comuseofkarma.com.au houseofkarma@karmagroup.com)

Memargi Sareng-sareng, Prajaya Gunungan Leluu Nuju Bali Resik Riwekas + (Stepping Together, Conquering the Mountain … Stepping Together, Conquering the Mountains of Waste towards a Sustainable Clean BaliOm SwastyastuThank you for the opportunity that has been given to me so that I can contribute to voicing aspirations at the Wikithon Oration.Dear the jury and the BASAbali Wiki team, as well as all the happy readersAs we know, soon we will be faced with the 2024 elections. 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?".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.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. 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,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.Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Omclean Bali. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om)

Suryani’s mother was a successful business woman who supported the family’s finances.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.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.

CHEF DAIJIRO HORIKOSHI + (TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a maste … TAKUMI’S CHEF Daijiro Horikoshi is a master artisan who has devoted his life to perfecting Kaiseki cuisine.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?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.Tell us first about KOHAKU, and your journey to making edible crystals…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.How does this relate to cuisine in Japan?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.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.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?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.Where does innovation go too far, and when should we recognize and respect classic cooking practices?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.Tell us about Takumi, your restaurant, and the inspiration behind it.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.Why is great service such an important part of the culinary experience?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.Who are your heroes in the world of cooking?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.What knives do you use?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.What’s the most exciting new ingredient you are incorporating into your food?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.What motto inspires your life as a chef?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.IG & FB: @kohakubaliwww.kohakubali.comIG: @takumibaliFB: @Takumi Baliwww.takumibali.comkumibali FB: @Takumi Bali www.takumibali.com)

The toughness of the Goak Cadets is still known today, as a symbol of the greatness of the Buleleng Youth.However, what is the current situation of Buleleng Youth? Are still as tough as Taruna Goak?The character of Buleleng Youth today is inversely proportional to the Character of Buleleng Youth in the past. Currently, quite a few Buleleng youth are caught in promiscuity and cases of drug abuse and illegal drugs.At the end of December 2023, BNN stated that Buleleng Regency was included in the Red Zone for drug abuse cases and the most widespread was crystal methamphetamine. The Head of the Buleleng BNNK also stated that over the last 5 years as many as 397 people have been rehabilitated, who of course also come from various groups such as students, university students and others. Of course, this is a serious problem and must be resolved and handled together.Several things that influence drug abuse include; firstly, the growth of curiosity and a sense of wanting to try, secondly, the influence and association of the surrounding environment which is not good, thirdly it is caused by depression or excessive stress, as well as many other reasons.Regarding this problem, of course there are several solutions that can be offered apart from the government's efforts in making related regulations, namely; First, young people must get rid of their desire to try and try to think about the negative impacts of drug use. Second, try to find positive activities to avoid promiscuity and drug abuse. Third, support from family and those closest to you will also be very influential. And the important thing for young people to pay attention to is maintaining mental health to avoid depression or severe stress which can trigger drug and illegal drug abuse.If this effort is carried out, young people will definitely be able to avoid drug abuse and grow into active, productive and superior young people, just like Taruna Goak in the past.people, just like Taruna Goak in the past.)

Dadalan Sejarah Wangunan Monumen Perjuangan Rakyat Bali + (THE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE … THE BACKGROUND OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLESporadic 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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVESThe 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.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).THE PHILOSOPHICAL BASIC OF THE MONUMENT OF BALINESE STRUGGLEThis 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:1. Turtles (akupa) as the base of mount Mandara2. Besuki Dragon (Naga Besuki) as a strap and turning mount.3. The gods hold the dragon’s tail and the daitya hold the head, while at the top of the mountain sits God Shiva.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:1. The earthen pitcher containing tirta amertha was symbolized by a kind of pot (swamba), which is located on the top of the monument.2. Naga Besuki’s tail is realized near the pot.3. The head of the dragon is manifested in the entrance gate (Kori Agung).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.5. The pond that surrounds the monument as the symbol of Ocean of milk (Ksirarnawa).6. Mandara mountain (Mandara Giri) as the overall shape of the monument building.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.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:1. Anima : the mildness nature like atom.2. Lagima : the lightness nature like ether.3. Mahima : the great nature that fills all places.4. Prapti : the nature of reaching all desired places.5. Prakamya : all wills are achieved by Him.6. Isitawa : the nature of dominating everything and the most important One.7. Wasitwa : the most powerful character.8. Yatrakama Wasayitwa : His nature and His will cannot be challenged.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. Indonesian Independence, August 17, 1945.)
Bali Matangi anggen Pariwisata Digital Berbasis NFT + (The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit almost … The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit almost the entire world, including Bali, has had a significant impact, especially on the tourism sector, which is the mainline in the Balinese economy. 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.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.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.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.It is time we move together to restore the glory of Bali tourism by familiarizing ourselves with technology.

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"OK, ladies and gentlemen.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.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.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.Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om.Parama Santhi. Om Santhi Santhi Santhi Om.)

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."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.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.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.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.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.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.

Program KIP ring Kabupaten Bangli kari Salah Sasaran. + (The Smart Indonesia Card (KIP) is also cal … The 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.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.)

ULUWATU LACE + (The Yak spoke with Ajit Khatai, ceo of Ulu … The Yak spoke with Ajit Khatai, ceo of Uluwatu handmade Balinese lace – the 50-year-old true Bali legacy fashion brand – about life in Bali, the journey so far and the future for the brand.How has Bali been for you?Been here since the beginning of the 2020 pandemic. I think one word for life here would be: healing.What does Uluwatu Handmade Balinese Lace mean to you?Magical and challenging on so many levels. A fashion business in Bali. A brand that’s core skill-set is lace. Only two colours (white and black) to the range planning. Tourists as primary customer. Language barrier. An immensely talented pool, which is aging.How is it that sophistication and simplicity exists seamlessly in Uluwatu Lace? We know it’s not easy. How do you manage to achieve it?It looks easy, because ours is a story of Bali. We carry the soul of everything that’s beautiful here. By layering simplicity over and over, we are able to create sophistication. Our pursuit is perfection. Our founder Ni Made Jati focussed on love for creating great designs. She was inspired by modern women who are independent and rebellious. Over the years, we have redefined this modern woman. I think these three elements, Bali, Simplicity and Perfection are our secrets.How did the brand start…In the 1970s it seemed a good business proposition. Bali had an abundance of lace skills. An influx of foreigners was allowing exploration of new silhouettes (before lace was predominately used on Kebayas). Our founder saw the possibilities. Those were times when Bali was getting started on its lasting reputation of being heaven; of secret idyllic beaches where seekers and hippies found the surf, sand and beads, and loads of sunshine to tan their skin. She adapted the lace to the new world, from airy over layers to breezy gowns for the evening fire. The Bohemian spirit has been alive ever since.Uniquely, the Uluwatu Lace brand is cemented deeply in Bali’s history and colonial past. Can you briefly tell us more…No-one starts out to make history. Our journey gave us two rights: time and place. Bali’s lace tradition of krawang or Lobang is a rich living craft. Earliest evidence showing its use is in the 10CE, during the end of the Majapahit reign. Almost 1,000 odd years of existence. There is an unsubstantiated belief that Kerawang is the classic crochet lace of Northern Europe. Said to be carried by missionaries who travelled with the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The timeline could be anywhere around 1600CE. But the real impact can be attributed to after 1796, when the VOC was abolished and the Dutch government gained control over Indonesia, which continued until 1941.And then there was the modern journey…Yes. Somewhere around mid ’70s, Kebaya was getting its space as a classic apparel which was introduced as modesty. Lace got incorporated into the Kebaya. We have been trying to perfect the art form ever since then. This evolved into the temple culture, to exactly the same clothing culture we witness in Bali today. We have managed to transform it into something desirable globally. Breaking the limitations of design was the tipping point. With just two colors, white and black, it was a sure recipe for disaster. The fact that we are still here is something bigger than a miracle. But here we are…Why white and black?Our journey was for excellence. I suppose we reached this point naturally. It is difficult to reason why in a 50-year journey. An intelligent guess is, white was preferred due to the tropical climate and black was easy to handle. In the early years, consistent yarns in colors was not an easy proposition. Whatever the reason, we are memorable because of the two colours.How many people are involved in making your designs?Our family is around 500 individuals. More than three quarters of this number are involved in the design creation and the rest are in support operations. Each person in our ecosystem is a lifelong partner to creation of these exclusive designs.What makes this brand click?Love and Bali. You immerse in this paradise. In return the paradise diktats that you respond with honesty. That’s what we give. We do not dilute our principles to suit business obligations. Our products are made in the old fashioned way. We have steered clear of shortcuts. Each and every piece is made in the same traditional method of bamboo hoops and slow needle whirring to make the lace. Love has its own karmic journey. Maybe it’s the love that’s responding back.What are the attitudes in fashion changing over the decades? Where is fashion’s future for designs with your niche?Look at the fashion around the world. Lace and crochet are consistent. Lace is here to stay. That speaks loads on the future of lace in fashion. It’s a classic embellishment in fashion. Women love it. It’s not going away anytime soon. We are a lace brand. We need one purchase to happen in a thousand in our market to stay in business. That’s a simple logic for excellence. We have to keep creating the most simple, sophisticated designs with the same passion. Great designs don’t need volume. We are content right now.What does high thread count mean to you and why is it important to your company?Yarn is the key. Our yarn goes through immense stress, which makes it absolutely essential to have a unique tensile strength, which is stable in the lace making process, avoiding brittleness. We have conjured up a specific blend of rayon yarns to achieve this over the years. It stays unbroken for the longest stretch of action. That brings the unique sheen to our lace.How has the Covid Pandemic affected your brand?It’s been a kind of blessing in disguise. We found time for course correction. Our focus diverted from sales to being janitors (cleaning up the brand). We found scope to refine our skills. Created a data-bank of designs. Refined the skills that had been acquired over 50 years. We updated software and improved processes. Basically we did a lot of clean-up. We had to ensure our designs remain heirloom pieces. Creating possibilities of engagement to lace designs. We conceptualized a Balinese Lace Museum and initiated the process of getting nominated as a heritage craft. It was a long list.Which design will be your all-time superstar creation? Is there a story in its creation?We love almost all our ’70s designs. The decade when chic, colour and pool parties were the epitome. The age of revolution … styles that clicked. Then we were busy making something revolutionary to be loved. We got our foothold in fashion in the ’70s.How are you involved in the creative community in Bali?As the flag bearer of Balinese Lace Fashion, we are the finest on the block. Both the founder and myself are pretty much very private people. Our direct visible engagement remains slower than we would like. However, we engage with artists, graphic artists, photographers, musicians and actors. We love to be the support to young creative talents.What are the current design projects at Uluwatu Lace?This year we are engaging in a lot of very interesting projects … I like to call in non-invasive cross-innovation, where we identify non-parallel creative techniques to come together in an organic symbiotic visual extravagance. Our designers are busy rejecting designs to arrive at acceptable designs. For example, imagine trying to combine lighter Endek fabric with Balinese lace. Both techniques cannot overpower each other. The balance of weight, colour and flow is an absolutely challenging experience.Which particular Indonesian / international celebrities could wear your designs and embody what they mean?For us, Happy Salma is the epitome of what Uluwatu Lace is supposed to mean. She is the purity of how our design should be expressed. In the case of Hollywood, I would love our designs on Alicia Vikander. Her athletic features and Grecian expression are timeless. And of course, Priyanka Jonas Chopra’s dusky exoticism. If they are reading this … we love you!What’s next for Uluwatu Lace?Short-Term: make our mark on the Paris, New York, London and Tokyo fashion scenes. Medium Term: Get listed in UNESCO heritage craft category. Long Term: hopefully keep creating inspiring designs. We have a goal to make the brand 100% sustainable with minimum carbon footprint. Engage with blockchain technology to track the impact of our brand. We also hope to have a community fingerprint, where we go beyond our business obligations and leave lasting imprints within the community that defines us.IG: @uluwatu_handmade_balinese_laceFB: @uluwatulacebaliwww.uluwatu.co.ide FB: @uluwatulacebali www.uluwatu.co.id)

However, dependence and wrong management can make tourism one of the causes of over-exploitation of nature and make Bali's condition even worse during the COVID-19 emergency.

Though this sector can be a solution to improve the economy of Bali.One solution that can be done without choosing one of these two sectors is to apply the concept of community-based tourism or CBT. This concept can be developed by forming a tourist village so that it can become a forum or economic stimulus for rural communities. The concept of a tourist village that is widely developed in the Java area itself focuses on rural life and natural conditions that are a tourist attraction. Community activities in farming and farming can be an alternative attraction for tourists from outside the region, especially because Bali itself has a unique agricultural system.

Of course, when there are disasters or natural phenomena that affect mass tourism like what Bali currently has, the concept of tourism planning is a good solution. If tourist visits decline, there is still a reliable agricultural sector. In addition, this concept can then become the new face of tourism in Bali with the growing trend of the hospitality business, beach panorama and hedonistic, while cultural attractions are starting to be abandoned.

The occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the community, especially in the tourism sector in Bali. The emergence of Covid 19 resulted in a drastic drop in tourism income in Bali, starting from small traders, large businesses such as hotels, resorts, villas, drivers, luxury restaurants.In an effort to revive Bali's tourism at this time after being affected by Covid 19, there are several ways that need to be input between implementing CWAN (Cheap, Work Together, Available, Negotiation).Cheap in the sense of lowering or lowering the price of the main conditions for traveling in Bali such as swab tests or PCR, and quarantine will be very influential for the interest of visitors to visit Bali because they do not spend more money than they should and do not reduce the money prepared for the holiday.Work Together requires relations between one country and another, regional relations with other regions as well as groups and individuals need to work together, commitment and the right policies.

Tyra Kleen + (Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 19 … Tyra Kleen (29 June 1874 - 17 September 1951) was a Swedish artist, author and women's rights activist. Her paintings, illustrations, lithographs and publications were important to the Swedish fin de siècle art movement. But above all she was an independent ethnographical researcher.In 1919, after WWI, she traveled to Java and Bali on a Swedish cargo ship. In Solo (Surakarta), Kleen worked with Beata van Helsdingen-Schoevers to write an anthropological study on the ritual court dances of Solo. Both also participated in the dance lessons. Kleen felt that dancing not only involved making the right movements on the sound of music, but that it also involved the transition into an altered state of mind to become in harmony not only with oneself, but with the Universe.Unfortunately, this project ended in July 1920 in turmoil due to clashing personalities, and van Helsdingen-Schoevers died 17 August 1920 of an unknown disease. The project was finished in 1925 with help from "Volkslectuur" (the commission of folk literature), Mabel Fowler and miss Gobée, wife of the Head of the Office for Internal Affairs, titled "The Serimpi and Bedojo Dances at the Court of Surakarta", with 16 pages of text. In July 1925 there appeared a new edition with 30 pages of text. The coloured plates were reproductions made by the Topographic Service of Kleen's drawings. 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.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.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.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.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".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.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.)

Donal wishes to revive and embody the “tradition” of painting in the history of the development of modern art through the method of painting on the spot. He returns to nature and tries to appreciate and permeate the phenomenon of form, where aspects of light play a vital role in the absorption of objects by the eye and are then transferred to the canvas plane.The choice of objects painted by Donal on the spot is also an object in the surrounding environment that is familiar in his daily life as a Balinese. Thus, what appears visibly to Donal’s works is the painting of landscapes, trees, or parts of certain plants that are painted close-up, or a collection of natural objects.Donal views painting as part of the culture of society. He wants to present things that might look simple, natural, and beautiful (in the eyes of ordinary people) in the hope that this will be the entrance for them to be able to respond to even deeper things, that is, the ideas in each of his paintings.Based on Donal’s view of his creative process as serious and intense, painting on the spot with impasto techniques, we can read this as Donal’s effort to celebrate and give meaning to painting as a way of presenting beauty and peace of mind through the elements of art—especially colors, which all support light. Donal puts painting as mainstream in his creative process. His struggle and his trust in the power of painting is an inseparable part of a human being’s sense of beauty.He joined in group exhibitions from 2005, and had solo exhibitions from 2014. 2005, and had solo exhibitions from 2014.)

Tourists are not allowed to go to Bali so that Covid-19 virus does not spike again. This causes Bali tourism to decline. Balinese people who work in the tourism sector do not get jobs. The Bali government has issued a policy that is used to suppress the spread of the Corona Virus. One of the policies is the implementation of restrictions on community activities or what is known as PPKM (Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat). This causes the spread of Covid-19 to decrease. Because the government already has efforts to reduce the spread of the Corona Virus, we as the next generation can help the government to improve Bali tourism. There are many procedures that can be used to improve Balinese tourism. The first way is to promote Balinese tourist destinations using social media. This requires the participation of the Balinese people. Those who like to upload photos while on vacation to tourist destinations in Bali can also help develop and improve Bali tourism. Indonesia has a website that is used to promote Indonesian tourism. Second, the public can help provide tourist destinations in accordance with health protocols related to government policies, as well as maintaining the cleanliness of tourism places.

Using this VR, tourism destinations in Bali can be seen for real, this can foster a sense of longing for Bali and cause tourists to want to come again to Bali.In the BALI MELALI application, it not only displays well-known tourism destinations, but should also display places that are not widely known. In Bali, there are actually many tourist destinations that are not well known. If you only show places like Kuta Beach, Pandawa Beach, many tourists will already know. That's why in this application it is very good if it shows places that are not known by many people. Not only that, the BALI MELALI application does not only display virtual or images, but can be filled with sounds that are in that place. For example at Candikuning Waterfall, if we travel to waterfalls, there are definitely sounds like the sound of gurgling water, the sound of trees blowing by the wind, the sound of birds and so on.The presence of images and sounds in the BALI MELALI ibi application can certainly cause longing from tourists and travel to Bali.

Wayan Sila + (“The very first night I slept over at my n … “The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was aspecial experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as aguardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinesemythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member ispregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasaIndonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of thenight.“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. Iwas intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has nowmanifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl alsoencourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artistWayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for achild to learn to draw and paint.Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. Inthe evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the ClassicalKamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began tocreate their own distinctive style.The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized bynarratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmentallandscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the humanfigure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by anindividual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its rootsfirmly entrenched here in Ubud.Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense ofbalance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlinedin black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, asmall piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association withthe people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in theIndonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, andnumerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung RaiMuseum of Art in Ubud.“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching youngJapanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visitJapan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues toell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,45x 60cm.Wayan SilaGarden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initiallycollaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From TheWoods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no morethan 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence.

The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defyyou to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud.

Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the greenswaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of theyard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surroundinggarden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayanhas created his special own oasis.As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing andinviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stonecarvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned withofferings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world. His owls’ peer outfrom within forests and lush scenes, their big eyes possess a magnetic pull and communicate a language that isdeciphered in our hearts. Wayan Sila is a painter of immense sensitivity and his works are vehicles of healing qualities and love.re vehicles of healing qualities and love.)
I Nyoman Popo Priyatna Danes + (“What the modern architecture is still try … “What the modern architecture is still trying to achieve today has been implemented in the traditional Balinese architecture for centuries now, where the concepts of energy conservation and environmental preservation are amongst the fundamental elements in every design.” – Popo DanesFrom private homes and restaurants to starred hotels and luxury resorts, the renowned Balinese architect Nyoman Popo Danes is known for his exemplary designs that showcase a distinct flair of being in harmony with the local culture and nature. This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.“While some architects are very focused on making their buildings look stunning from the outside, my main concern has always been the functionality of each aspect of the building. I always make sure that my designs are in harmony with their natural surroundings; that each room has a function; that a strong connection between the architecture, landscape, and interior is established. I don’t care if my architecture is not photogenic, as long as it serves its function well.”As an international destination, Bali attracts people from all corners of the world with its uniqueness. Therefore, Popo believes that every building on the island needs to be able to help these people feel that they are in Bali. “When you travel, you want to be immersed in the local atmosphere. In Bali, a building should exude the feeling of locality so when you enter it, you know you’re not in Jakarta, Hong Kong, or anywhere else.”The works of the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner (in the category of Best Practice in Tropical Architecture) are known as some of the most striking in design, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Air conditioners take up the biggest energy consumption in a building, and Popo’s eco-friendly creations have the ability to ‘communicate’ with nature to lessen energy consumption through the overuse of air conditioners.“I create buildings that have open pavilions (just like in typical Balinese buildings) to allow breeze to blow in, and I don’t put too many glass windows. Then again, air circulation or heat is not the only reason why air conditioners are overused. People also tend to turn their air conditioners on to escape from the noise pollution outside their buildings. When all windows and doors are shut, it’s quiet inside. This is where nature steps in. Towering trees can be a great noise filter, and they also serve as a fresh, cool air provider.”From Indonesia to India and China to the Philippines, most of Popo’s architecture projects involve challenging landscapes. “It’s never easy. A lot of projects i’ve been doing so far (especially for luxury resorts) involve slanted soil, hilly surfaces and everything else not flat. Of course I can always take the easy job; for example in Bali, I get so many offers to design a building on a flat surface. The thing is, in order for me to build it, I have to get rid of a rice field. I will never build anything on a rice field. Rice field is a symbol of prosperity for the Balinese, and is home to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”e to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”)
