If Ubud is mentioned nowadys in the international press chances are high, that the upcoming Ubudwriters Festival is the topic. Gilda Sagrado gives today the latest update on the preparation:
So far, the Festival has attracted 60 writers and cultural workers from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Europe and the USA. The Committee expects the confirmation of a further 25 writers and performers from Bali, Java, and other islands of Indonesia such as Sulawesi and Sumatra, pending funding.
The Festival will focus on several key themes: These are:
Through Darkness to Light, Indonesian and Western perceptions of Bali post 2002;
Pressing Concerns, which will include discussions by and with Southeast Asian book and magazine publishers;
From Page to Stage [Writers and performance];
The Long Way Home [Travel writing and identity];
Children of the Gods [Children’s and young people’s literature];
with one day being devoted to lifestyle, coffee and tropical cuisine.
An event surely not to be missed.
