Join us for the unveiling of Book of Fire — an evocative solo presentation by Citra Sasmita, accompanied by the launch of her latest poetry book. The evening begins with a book discussion, followed by live music from Gumatat Gumitit Gospel.
Drawing insights from the book 'Berebut Bali,' this discussion delves into the profound crisis currently facing spatial and environmental governance in Bali. The ongoing decentralisation process has empowered Bali's eight regencies and single city with the authority to pursue increased local revenue, largely by aggressively expanding their tourism sectors.
KARAT will host the Paras Book Showcase, featuring an exciting convo with Radit Mahindro and Krisna Sudharma.
We’ll talk about Paras Book, unfiltered Q&As, and how they gradually evolved from a platform to serve multiple ideas and purposes—emerging through an unintentional process of collecting and repurposing.
It’s a chill session, but heads up book stock is limited so we encourage you to arrive early—first come, first served.
Apel Hendrawan is a painter, sculptor, tattoo artist, environmental activist and Balinese Hindu priest. A life journey that has seen him go through a battle with the forces of dark and light. A drug overdose that saw him incarcerated in the Bangli Asylum for the insane. Apel’s creative journey led him through experimentation until he eventually found his ‘voice’. A settled, more mature condition that reflects his state of grace.
This event is a celebration of the life journey and creative legacy of Wayan Apel Hendrawan, spanning half a century. Through a powerful art installation and the launch of his personal biography, this retrospective unveils a story of struggle, transformation, and the search for meaning through art.
