O
ne of the most celebrated aspects of the human imagination is its diverse forms of self-expression. In Indonesia, this is especially granted through the world of arts.
Art has the power to help us escape the monotony of our lives, as artist Pierre Bornard has said – art “should be as free, and happy, as a song in a bath,” noted Mervyn Levy.
Experience this escapism throughout August as the Apurva Kempinski Bali proudly parades its most magical event of the year: the Powerful Indonesia Festival.
In a world of social constructs, a celebration of freedom of expression is exactly what we deserve, especially as we mark the 78th year of Indonesia’s independence. The annual festival celebrates a tapestry of art, culture, tradition, heritage and music, which thread together to become a symphony of unity and creativity.
Vincent Guironnet, general manager of The Apurva Kempinski Bali extended a warm invitation to all, “This festival is an opportunity to take pride in the diversity that makes Indonesia a powerful force. Join us here, at The Apurva Kempinski Bali.”
Art brings people together, a language of the world.
Find yourself skipping through the enriching experience of The Land of Art exhibition on Aug. 11, journeying through colorful stories from renowned and emerging artists, or bathing under the vivid examples of Indonesian artistry. The spotlight turns to the book launch of Tribute to I Gusti Ngurah Rai, where you can unfurl while listening to Andre Syahreza’s eloquent prose on Aug. 17, and the fashion show Harmony in Diversity on Aug. 18.
Let your imagination rocket and rise with the curtains of the Powerful Indonesia Festival, where transformation colors The Apurva Kempinski Bali.
