Judy Sirota Rosenthal's Reverence in Bali - Ancient Culture, modern translation exhibit opened May 20, at Yale University's Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life and will run through mid-August. Everyone is invited to a reception with the artist at 4:30, Thursday, June 5, 2008.
This show of photographs comes from a three week trip to the island culture of Bali in 2006 where everyday life in Bali possesses a singular beauty and dignity.
Reverence is part of daily life in Bali. Hand made offering of palm leaf baskets, flowers, and rice, appear in unlikely places -- the streets, motorbikes, at the entrances to shops. While modernity encroaches upon it, the Balinese Hindu culture sustains the old traditions of dance, art, puppetry, rice farming, and ceremonies.
"Although reverence for these traditions are the glue and fabric of life that hold the communities together, I was able to gain unusual access to ceremonies and rituals through introductions by a respected figure in the Balinese community," says Rosenthal.
For more information about the exhibit call the Slifka Center at 203 432 1134 or email Judy Sirota Rosenthal at sirotarosenthal@snet.net and enjoy the show.
