- Tenganan Dauh Tukad + (The Island of Bali is developing fast, in … The Island of Bali is developing fast, in part due to its popularity as a tourist destination. Despite this, there are some villages still occupied by the indigenous people of Bali, where little has changed over the centuries. The rituals of these Bali Aga villages, which lie mostly in the east, are fascinating for foreign travellers and for other Balinese, who come in large numbers to witness these special ceremonies. </br>I arrived around 7 PM in Tenganan Dauh Tukad village the night before the Pandan War. Walking up the nearly deserted main street, I discovered that most of the community members were attending a prayer ritual in the main temple. Soon, however, people started streaming out of the temple and I struck up a conversation with Komang, who very kindly invited me back to his house for coffee and cake. </br></br>After coffee, Komang and I made our way to a smaller village temple where young people were already filing through the gates. The boys moved to one side while the girls, beautifully adorned in traditional attire, took their place on a small raised platform on the opposite side. Soon enough, the boisterous boys started throwing romantic words in the direction of the ever so bashful girls. A couple of the male suitors were very poetic. Others were less so, trying phrases like, “How about going on my scoopy (motorbike) together, just you and me – yes?” </br></br>It was highly entertaining, and even the priests were laughing at the young people’s antics. The evening got more and more lively as the suggestions became increasingly inventive. Komang explained that the event was a kind of pre-courtship, where many boys were hoping to impress a future bride. </br></br></br>Tenganan Dauh Tukad village.</br></br>Preparation of Pandan War.</br>Some of the girls threw their own words back or laughed, but the overall intention was clear - for connections to be made. In the end, I was not sure if any of those boys were successful, but it was not for want of trying.</br></br>After the exchanges, everyone filed out and began to prepare for the next ritual – the race around the village. This involved eight of the younger boys climbing onto the backs of older boys for a piggyback style relay race. The younger boys clung on for dear life as the runners used all their strength and speed to complete three circuits of the village. Somehow these boys managed to keep their traditional finery intact, their krises (sacred dagger with a wavy-edged blade) lodged firmly into their fine double ikat textile sarongs and I did not see one ornate golden crown fall.</br></br>There were also eight pigs who at times dodged and weaved between the boys and, at times, seemed to be chasing them. The pigs were on poles and hoisted on the shoulders of the male or (strong) female bearers. These pigs had been slow cooked over a coconut shell fire. There were a lot of yells of encouragement from the crowd as these eight boys and eight cooked pigs ran for their lives. The whole affair was incredibly noisy and a lot of fun. </br></br>After the excitement, I was invited back for a suckling pig feast with Komang’s family. There was a variety of pork dishes, including sate, spare ribs, sausage and a delicious pork stew with banana stems. Over dinner, Komang briefed me on the origin of the Pandan War ritual, known locally as Makare-Kare.</br></br></br>The young Balinese boys.</br>He explained that this annual ceremony was to honour the God of War, Indra. Dating from Vedic times, Indra has been seen as the supreme ruler of the gods and hailed as the god of war and of thunder and storms. He is revered as the greatest of all warriors who can defend the gods and mankind alike against the forces of evil.</br></br>The day of the Pandan War was hot and so I found myself a shady spot well before it was due to start. While waiting, I struck up a conversation with Ayu, from Tabanan, “I have travelled three hours from my village to be here,” Ayu said. “I would not miss this Pandan War for anything. I came last year too. This original Balinese culture is so different from the Balinese culture in my village. The Pandan War ritual is over 1,000 years old, and not found anywhere else in Bali. It is a marvel and I think it’s important for my children to see it.”</br></br>The War started in the early afternoon under an intense hot blue sky. The gamelan orchestra struck up their gongs, drums and percussion instruments as the first two warriors appeared on the stage holding pandanus leaves with razor sharp spikes. As they engaged in battle, the orchestra’s tempo kept getting faster and faster, eventually reaching fever pitch. Ayu explained the gamelan players were skilfully matching their rhythm with that of the fighting. </br></br>I was mesmerised by the deep lunges and agile foot movements of the successive pairs of warriors appearing before the crowd. Their fast and furious strikes made the large crowd go into frenzy. The fighting got pretty gruesome at times, with most battles resulting in a bit of bloodletting. The referee had to move as swiftly as the warriors to control the fights, and many had to be broken up. The warriors indeed have to be very brave but, as the afternoon wore on, many more stepped up to take on the challenge. This included rounds with boys as young as eight years old. </br></br>Despite the drama of the fighting, throughout the ritual there was a wonderful spirit of comradery among the warriors, and smiles were often exchanged between opponents. Ayu’s sister, Putu, nudged me, “I think they are actually dancing. That is the way I explain it to my children, so they don’t get too upset.”</br></br></br>Eight of the younger boys climbing onto the backs of older boys for a piggyback style relay race.</br></br>The event was a kind of pre-courtship, where many boys were hoping to impress a future bride. </br>After each fight, the two opponents left the stage immediately, streaked with blood but giving one another one last smile and then they smeared a yellow paste on each other’s wounds.</br></br>“I was only eight years old when I started to fight,” Komang said after his round. “I fight every year.” After turning his back to show me his wounds he said, “It’s not so painful. The first time it really hurt. Now I am used to it and can master mind over matter, and I barely feel it. The paste we rub on each other’s backs is turmeric and other herbs. It will be all healed in three days.”</br></br>As the War raged, demure young village maidens watched from the adjacent bale. They were dressed in sparkling golden crowns and intricately woven double ikat bodices, with pink silk sashes accentuating their tiny waists. They watched the fight with an aloof air which occasionally transformed into a smile. The young women also had the most exquisite makeup and hairstyles. </br></br>I struck up a conversation with Kadek, who told me it had taken two hours to get ready but assured me that it was worth it. “We have love on our mind all the time. Whether we are swinging on the old Vedic wooden swing ritual or watching the men fight with the pandanus leaves, or at the evening romantic poetry ritual, we are contemplating a suitor.”</br></br>The Tenganan Duah Tukad villagers preserve their authentic, age-old aga culture with many time-honoured rituals. These villagers are in fact the oldest tribal group in Bali. The village is self-sustaining, with two major productive honey bee enterprises, a thriving Ikat fabric cottage industry and artisan miniature book production from lontar palm leaf. It also produces ata craftwork, weaving ata grass to make placemats, bags and baskets. The village is very welcoming of guests at any time.</br></br>In Bali, as in all the islands I have travelled to in Indonesia, people always show great respect for visitors, and it is not uncommon to be invited into the homes of villagers for a coffee or a meal. In this deeply traditional village, however, I experienced a special sense of genuine inclusion and openness to me as an outsider.</br></br>I walked away having made many new friends and felt very privileged to have learnt a little more about the Bali Aga customs and culture.re about the Bali Aga customs and culture.)

- ARMA Agung Rai Museum of Art + (The owner and founder, Agung Rai: After I … The owner and founder, Agung Rai:</br>After I saw the collections of The Puri Lukisan Museum and The Neka Museum I knew that my future was determined. I was fortunate in buying and selling paintings and starting to collect. That must have been around 1980. I trained myself in seeking paintings that moved me, paintings I really connected to and that reflected the depth and sensitivity of the artist’s soul. I always felt a spiritual connection to the art I bought.</br></br>The result of my collecting passion is now on display in the Museum that carries my name: Museum Seni Agung Rai / Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA) and includes works not only by leading Balinese artists like Ida Bagus Made Poleng, AA Gede Sobrat, I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, I Gusti Ketut Kodo, AA Gde Meregeg and Nyoman Meja, but by artists from all over the Indonesian archipelago. You will find renowned names as Affandi, Sudjono, Srihadi Soedarsono, Raden Saleh and many others, but also work of upcoming masters I put my faith in like Putu Wirantawan. Since the beginning of the 20th century the culture and natural beauty of Bali moved and inspired numerous foreign artists to produce great works of art. Some of them stayed for a few months, others spent their entire life on the island. The ARMA collection includes works by Rudolph Bonnet, Arie Smit, Le Majeur de Merpres, Willem Dooijewaard, Willem Hofker, Hans Snel and Donald Friend. Walter Spies was a visionary who build bridges between The Western and Balinese culture and has therefore a special place in our collection.</br></br>To guarantee and sustain its continuity, the Museum is managed by The ARMA Foundation. The funds raised by the Foundation (including your welcome contribution) are used to contribute to our efforts in treasuring, promoting and developing the Arts and Culture, not only of Bali, but of all Indonesia. For me, what has been accomplished up till now is just a beginning. My dream of continuously being able to contribute in preserving and growing the art of Bali. In particular of Ubud, is still very much alive. I am delighted that your visit to ARMA helps you to share my dream with me. May Ubud remain the artistic centre of Bali for generations to come.ic centre of Bali for generations to come.)
- TiTian Art Space + (The painting shows two boys attacking two … The painting shows two boys attacking two trees with axes. The trees, one still standing and one already felled, have suffering faces.</br>Batuan artist I Made Sujendra explains the work with the simple question: “how does it feel to be a tree?”</br>In the background two ogres with prison tattoos hold a small human figure’s arms outstretched with a wood saw poised to lop them off.</br>This is one of nine acrylic paintings in Sujendra’s first solo exhibition at Ubud’s TiTian Art Space, each showing scenes of sin and punishment like 15th Century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch’s visions of hell. However the artist says he is not familiar with the Bosch. Instead, his inspiration comes from the hundreds of small paintings on the ceiling of Bali’s former supreme court building, the Kerta Ghosa.</br>This long and ornate open-sided shed on the former Royal Palace grounds at Klungkung was the final court of appeal in pre-colonial Bali. Evidence was not given under oath, but after the judgement either plaintif or accused would be required to give the “oath of truth”. Depending on the seriousness of the crime, the liar would face greater or lesser karmic penalties.</br>While the judges sat at their tables and heard evidence, both plaintif and accused sat on the floor where they would gaze at hundreds of small paintings showing scenes of misfortune and torture, each being a penalty for perjury. In severe cases you and your family would spend several lifetimes working off this karma. As a legal system, it worked so well the Dutch kept it in place and it survived until Indonesian courts came to Bali with the modern Republic.</br>Sujendra says the painting was prompted by people destroying a tree wantonly, not for building or carving, and without planting and carefully nurturing a new tree in its place. He had not considered, for example, slash and burn agriculture to establish palm oil plantations in the forests of Sumatra and Kalimantan. Sujendra is an intensely Balinese artist with Balinese concerns.</br>His style is also largely Balinese in scope, although not in the same traditional Kamisan style of the Kerta Ghosa paintings. Kamisan was a graphic style already well-developed in the 19th Century, based on Wayang Kulit puppets. Sujendra did not grow up studying this style, but the more modern and secular Batuan style he learned from his father.</br>Typical Batuan paintings have myriad brightly-coloured figures on a black background, and leave the eye to wander from figure to figure with no clear centre of interest. Without departing from this formula, Sujendra has simplified and intensified the effect of the Batuan style by showing fewer figures on a much larger canvas and returning to religious themes. Two of the paintings in this show are black and white.</br>You can see Sujendra’s paintings for a few more days if you are in Ubud, before the exhibition closes on January 20. Staff and members will then prepare to celebrate TiTian’s third anniversary on January 31. TiTian’s third anniversary on January 31.)
