Culinary Assembly

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - Culinary Assembly
As a part of the Culinary Cultural Exchange Series 2026, Desa Potato Head Bali welcome Petty Elliott to its tables at the end of August. This residency centres on Indonesia’s culinary biodiversity: the spices, herbs, and ingredients that connect an entire archipelago. There are two ways to taste her creations: one at Tanaman following the Purnama full-moon meditation, and a long-table gathering of Eastern Indonesian dishes at Kaum. For those who wants to learn more about her creativity, a live Desa Dialogue at Dome invites Petty to unpack her culinary journey.

Into the Wild: Culinary Basecamp

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - Into The Wild
Into the Wild returns to Locavore NXT this September. Chefs from around the world gather in Ubud for three days of foraging, ideas and a menu that doesn’t exist until the morning it’s served. Three ways in: an Access All Areas pass for the whole weekend, the Chef Conference, or the Mystery-Ingredient Dinner itself.

Crash, Crush

SAMATRA

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - Samatra
In Balinese, SAMATRA carries multiple meanings. It can refer to a simple offering, a brief greeting, a modest welcome, or something given just enough. Inspired by these meanings, the exhibition invites us to rediscover the quiet gestures that deepen our relationships with nature, one another, and the world we share.

Equipoise

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - Equipoise
Equipoise explores the quiet tension of maintaining balance in a world that is constantly transforming. In his latest solo exhibition, Wayan Upadana reflects on the human condition through sculptural forms that are at once playful, contemplative, and profoundly familiar.

Rua

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - Rua
The poetry written by Deyu and the visuals of Kharma, combined in a performance, will convey messages, expressions, and the transformation of emotions into acceptance. Surviving a storm is like guessing what lies ahead, and with that in mind, this exhibition is designed to celebrate the desire to continue growing amidst drought.

Monisme

Paras - Cultural Events in Bali - Nonfrasa - A Tripartite Route Riar Rizaldi’s Solo Exhibition in Indonesia
Moving fluidly between documentary, horror, and science fiction, the film explores the volatile human-nature dynamics on Mount Merapi. Forged through collective filmmaking where the factual, scientific, and magical intertwine, the narrative tracks a mystic defying paramilitary violence, a volcanologist predicting a cataclysm, and a sand miner confronting an extraction economy. The presentation showcases a three-channel video fragment and process archives.
