It will be published next year together with drawings and illustrations by Roland. Encouraging words came from Nobel prize winning writer Kenzaburo Oe, who joined Roland the other day at a lecture during Japanese star-architect Hiroshi Hara’s exhibition in Japan at the Ichihara Museum. The show features also a model of Hara’s sculpture “Three Travelers” – which was built in collaboration with Roland last October in Raiding, Austria – the birthplace of composer Franz Liszt.

Tumpek Pengatang (a special day to express gratitude to all the Plants that nature provides) Event Date: 22 November 2014 Venue : Bali Island
Hindu Balinese posses a very rich repertoire of rituals covering many aspects of life. One of them is strongly related to the world of plants; it is about what nature provides for our life. "Tumpek Pengatang", or also known as "Tumpek Wariga" falls on Saturday, 22 November this year. The day will be devoted to the God manisfested in "Sangkara", who maintains the safety of all crops, ensuring their healthy growth to provide good harvest. The ceremony is also called "Tumpek Pengarah", which means 'notification' - to remind people that the main ceremony "Galungan" is exactly 25 days ahead from this day. The essence of this ritual is to remind all human beings to respect, to take care, to honour and to live in harmony with nature, especially with plants. |
