Richard Fox + (Grounded in ethnographic and archival rese … Grounded in ethnographic and archival research on the Indonesian island of Bali, More Than Words challenges conventional understandings of textuality and writing as they pertain to the religious traditions of Southeast Asia. Through a nuanced study of Balinese script as employed in rites of healing, sorcery, and self-defense, Richard Fox explores the aims and desires embodied in the production and use of palm-leaf manuscripts, amulets, and other inscribed objects.Balinese often attribute both life and independent volition to manuscripts and copperplate inscriptions, presenting them with elaborate offerings. Commonly addressed with personal honorifics, these script-bearing objects may become partners with humans and other sentient beings in relations of exchange and mutual obligation. The question is how such practices of "the living letter" may be related to more recently emergent conceptions of writing—linked to academic philology, reform Hinduism, and local politics—which take Balinese letters to be a symbol of cultural heritage, and a neutral medium for the transmission of textual meaning. More than Words shows how Balinese practices of apotropaic writing—on palm-leaves, amulets, and bodies—challenge these notions, and yet coexist alongside them. Reflecting on this coexistence, Fox develops a theoretical approach to writing centered on the premise that such contradictory sensibilities hold wider significance than previously recognized for the history and practice of religion in Southeast Asia and beyond. of religion in Southeast Asia and beyond.)

The revitalization of rivers in Denpasar City is one of the work programs of the Denpasar City government that aims to provide ecological education to the surrounding community can also have economic value. Traditionally, the river is a sacred area that deserves to be preserved in realizing the activities in the wisdom of Tri Hita Karana, namely maintaining good relations with God, nature and humans, so that the presence of water in Bali continues to maintain its quality and quantity. An important strategy to find out the potential for ecotourism development in urban areas is the empowerment of surrounding communities in the tourist area. Community empowerment is a vital unit related to physical, material, economic and income aspects, institutional aspects (growth ofindividual strengths in the form of groups / groups), strength of cooperation,intellectual strength, and shared strength to comply with and apply the principles of empowerment. The principle of ecotourism has an inseparable part by minimizing the negative impact of the surrounding environment through conservation efforts by maintaining the quality of the environment and local culture, as well as being able to empower the economy of the surrounding community. the economy of the surrounding community.)
Mark Hobart + (The Imaginary of Bali as paradise stands i … The Imaginary of Bali as paradise stands in stark contrast to what is actually going on. To understand the split requires examining who is authorized to represent Bali as what under what conditions. The issue concerns the nature of argument – whether argumentation and disagreement – and how it disarticulates and marginalize alternatives. The preferred, hegemonic style of argument in Bali is monologue, favoured by those in power, which effectively anticipates and prevents contradiction. By contrast, dialogue is open, democratic and widespread in daily life, but often passes relatively unnoticed. Whereas dialogue enables discussion and problem-solving, monologue re-asserts ideology in the face of uncomfortable actualities. In Bali, the form ideology takes centres on fantasies about an imaginary ‘age-old culture’. The drawbacks are evident in how claims over the cultural antiquity of Tri Hita Karana disguise its grave shortcomings in practice.sguise its grave shortcomings in practice.)

As a person who loves nature, I think of these whispers in Nature.

The primary themes that we explore here are Kala, Earth and Spirit. In and of themselves, their nature. In addition to seeing these three entities separately, the threading of them together in this collaboration is to ask you to explore your relationship to each of these elements.Kala, Earth and SpiritKala is known to come with many definitions. Among these are time, death, performing arts, and specific deities in Hinduism, Javanese and Balinese mythologies. Yet, despite the many origin stories, there is a connecting thread that Kala is all of those manifestations. However, in this Collaboration, Kala is our canvas. Here Kala is defined specifically through her manifestation as TIME. Of the three characters that we introduce, Kala is the faceless one. She is not represented as a portrait, or in a painting. Yet, she is present in them and in a significant way. That is also part of our display and exploration of Time. Part of the reflections in which Sawidji invites you to contemplate.How different art mediums reinforce the message..Kala is experienced through the conceptual portraits of the two Guardians representing our Earthly World and our Spiritual World. The portraits of the Guardians of Earth and Spirit were created through a combination of installations and the photography of Dewi Dian and ManButur Suantara. The paintings of Nyoman Handi respond to the questions and reflections raised by the Guardian portraits.Collaboration, More Than Just a WordAll the mediums present in this collaboration bring very different qualities. Sawidji leads with photography. However, the photographic works are actually partners to installation pieces. Installation pieces that we created together as a team. The making of the costumes and studio installations together as a team is truly at the heart of each of our collaborations. A seed of an idea may be singular, but as it germinates and grows, all the contributing elements are what make it possible for it to flourish and blossom. Much the same for Sawidji Collaborations.The artists that come together agree on the message. We feel the same about the message. It resonates in each of us. With this trust and agreement, we move together throughout the day and create together, the best embodiment of our concept. There is in fact a lot of freedom. A lot of room for each person to spontaneously make changes and try new things. There is no shortcut to the process. Our work is a result of going through a growth and maturing process for each concept, and this is done together.Online Exhibition available for viewing https://sawidji.com/2022/12/13/kala-and-the-guardians-a-timely-reflection/ala-and-the-guardians-a-timely-reflection/)

An introduction to a contemporary art festival debuting this year in Bali that is in its early stages already showing signs of extraordinary possibilities. In nature Nungkalik is bold, experimental and conceptual. Centred on the idea offered by artist and lecturer Dr. Sujana Suklu that artists on a daily basis are subconsciously learning a universal intuitiveness whilst responding to the world throughout their lives.That is to say, whether through their movements, musical or visual expressions as well as verbal interactions. Their bodies and memories compile experiences that keep developing and transforming with each day that passes. Their sensitivity to phenomena that occurs outside of themselves inevitably gets stronger and becomes a substantive sensitivity in their respective internal worlds. We may say this transforms into an instinctive sensitivity that does not require conscious deliberation when external elements circle close to their internal world.The Premise of Nungkalik Art FestivalArtists are invited to participate in this experimental study, from different backgrounds, geographic locations as well as varying creative disciplines. Throughout the festival, community members with specialty areas in sociology, psychology, education and music were also invited to participate and observe. The global theme for the Nungkalik International Art Festival 2023 was introduced as ‘Exploring Archetypes’ with specific explorations on associated concepts during each workshop day.Participating artists were involved in these workshops together with members of the Fine Arts and Performance Arts student body. Our day beginning with a discussion circle. Together exchanging thoughts and ideas about the proposed themes and the significance of the chosen mediums. Within these discussions, it is interesting how very naturally, abstract ideas and concepts were articulated by all artists.full article.. https://sawidji.com/2023/07/27/nungkalik-festival-art-and-its-sacred-paradox/kalik-festival-art-and-its-sacred-paradox/)

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