Unfinished Mask

Besides displaying the finished masks, Wewed (see yesterday's post) also showed how a mask is made. He was having a break when I visited his stand at the exhibition hall, and so all I saw was this unfinished mask. This mask, like many other Indonesian traditional masks, is made of kayu nangka (jackfruit wood).

Selain memamerkan topeng-topeng yang sudah selesai dibuat, Wewed (lihat posting kemarin) juga mempertunjukkan bagaimana topeng dibuat. Topeng yang belum selesai dibuat ini dibuat dari kayu nangka.

Wewed Masks

Some of the mask collection exhibited by Wewed, an Indramayu-based mask artisan that specializes in crafting local traditional masks, at Gunungan International Mask & Puppet Festival held recently at Kotabaru Parahyangan in the west of Bandung.

This year's Gunungan International Mask & Puppets Festival is the second of what is planned to be a regular annual event that celebrates Indonesia's rich and diverse wayang (puppet) and mask traditions in the context of similar traditions worldwide.

Walk on Campus Campaign

A walk on campus campaign sign at the Indonesia University of Education campus. This campaign has been staged to encourage the campus community to use less cars (and previously motorcycles before their access was restricted) to move between different parts of the campus.

Indonesia University of Education campus at Setiabudi street in the north of Bandung is the largest campus in the city. It occupies an area of about 75 hectares (about 185 acres).

Rambu kampanye pembudayaan berjalan kaki di kampus Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), Bandung. Kampanye ini digalakkan untuk mendorong warga kampus mengurangi penggunaan mobil (dan sebelumnya juga sepeda motor) di dalam kampus. Sejak beberapa bulan yang lalu, akses sepeda motor telah dibatasi dengan pemusatan parkir di bagian utara kampus.

Dengan luas sekitar 75 hektar, kampus UPI di Jalan Dr Setiabudi saat ini adalah kampus terbesar di dalam kota Bandung.
