Happy Eid al-Adha! May your sacrifices be rewarded.

Throwback to the previous Alteraksi session, our movie Sowan (2014) was screened before the discussion. The topic was about forgiveness and then it’s reflected on each persona and personal experience of the participants. The output is to make a fresh collective perspective to be adopted into new actions after the session. It’s interesting how movies can be a muse and provide new insights into our lives, don’t you think?

Thank you for having us participate in such an insightful and productive event ! It's lovely that Sowan could be a connector among emotions and conversations in this session.

Pohon Kesambi ini tumbang beberapa waktu lalu akibat hujan deras yang melanda Desa Boti. Namun, tumbangnya pohon besar ini justru memberikan tempat berteduh baru di tempat ini. Batang pohon yang menjulur rendah dengan siaga memberikan pelayanan bintang lima kepada siapapun yang datang. Beratapkan ranting daun, cahaya matahari yang berlomba menyusup diantara dedaunan. Menerangi dan memberi hangat diantara sejuknya udara boti.

Hati kami jatuh cinta pada sekali tatap. Beruntungnya kami dapat mengabadikan Ama Benu persis diantara teduhnya ranting pohon ini.

Oh Boti, alam dan manusia semua damai membentuk kehidupan yang semua manusia idam-idamkan.

Today, our team feels so lucky to be able to celebrate earth day at Boti Village, East Nusa. Pah, a youngster here told us to follow nature, follow its signs and everything that they have already given to us not the other way around. Because, as we follow nature, they will always keep us safe.
But the most important things here and everywhere, earth day should be celebrated everyday.

The tradition keepers’ stories of personal challenge and cultural survival go beneath the surface of Indonesia’s textile arts into a world of rituals and ancestors, cosmology and mythology, & social and ecological wisdom.

Please join us for the first-ever showing of two of these films:

🎥Coming of Age.
A story about a teenage girl's cultural initiation in Tenganan, Bali.

🎥Dancing with Deities
A tale about passing knowledge between generations in Nusa Penida.

Today everyone in Bali is forbidden to pound or sell their rice!

A Balinese celebration of food called Soma Ribek falls today (Soma/Senin Pon Wuku Sinta).

According to Balinese tradition, there is no other way to be grateful for the Mother Earth by caring by planting all kinds of plants that are the source of life.

The prohibition against pounding rice and selling rice when Soma Ribek was more of a simple form of respect for the gift of food from the Almighty.

So, have you been grateful for what you’ve eaten today?

Do you know what bamboo forest could make a new water spring?

It is true😱 knowing that bamboo roots could maintain the hidrological system such as the soil and act as a water binder. The fact that trees absorb an average of 35-40% rainwater, while the bamboo can absorb up to 90%

Amazing right?

Shout out to all women out there who keep on duty, fight for their family, kids and future.
Those mama in Bajau using a powder mask to protect their skin from the sun. Who says women can’t take care for them self while taking care for others?

In the silence, we are contemplating.
What we did in last one year.
We try to accept and understant our self and the universe.

Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi.

One of the most important lessons of Al-Isra’ wal-Mi’raj, therefore, is that ‘with every hardship [there will be] ease’ (The Noble Qur’an, 94: 5).

May your prayers tonight bring to you satisfaction, prosperity and faith.

Have you ever wonder what happened on the field during our shooting session?

19/02/2022

The sea was calm and asleep before it was awakened by sun rays. While a mother in the village of Kabalutan was busy looking for fish. Using Lepa (a small elongated boat) she goes to sea with improvised equipment but extraordinary intuition.

Women in Kabalutan show us their independence. After husbands focus on looking for the catch to resell, household needs and their family's stomaches are safe in the hands of the women.

Balinese believes that a three-month-old baby goes through an important process in his life. At this age, your little one will begin to be able to feel the five senses. At the beginning of the baby, the five senses are active, it affects the level of sanctity of the spirit or atman of the little one.
This is why Nelu Bulanin (3 months old ceremony) is one of the most important rituals for a baby in Hindu-Balinese beliefs.
