The Many Faces of Indonesia: Traditional Masks of the World’s Largest Archipelago
Please note day, time and venue changes for this special presentation.
The early religions of Indonesia produced cultures of such vivid creativity their effect is still being felt today. Whether still evolving, vital, and healthy as they are in Bali, slowly disappearing as in some parts of Java, or as endangered species in the jungles of Borneo, they merit our attention. The “outer islands” will be explored in art, myth, and ceremony in this very lively and fascinating presentation by mask scholars Made Surya and Judy Slattum.
Judy Slattum is the author of “Balinese Masks”, the only bestselling book on this topic. She is a frequent lecturer on the subject of traditional masks in world cultures. Made Surya is a traditional mask carver and dancer from Bali, Indonesia who has performed at theatres, colleges and universities in Bali and the United States. He made presentations on Balinese masks at the Asian Art Museum during the Balinese exhibition in 2011.
