I Wayan Wija
Although you might guess that things around the Museum are winding down–we’ve less than a month of the Bali exhibition left–think again.
The rare opportunity to see noted puppet master I Wayan Wija brings an added benefit: Wija has brought a number of his puppets and miniatures, several of which will be available in the Museum Store through his Asia Alive residency, which runs until August 28th.
Current favorites include the frogs and lion (with wagging tail), and quite a few of the miniatures, which are essentially small, unmounted paintings done in the style of the wayang (puppets).
Ratih, the Balinese goddess of romantic love, lust, & everlasting pleasure
- Unicorns: why not?
- Beauty & self-esteem
And then there’s my personal favorite:
- Because komodos in love are the best kind
If you can’t make one of the performances or talks, stop by the Museum Store to see the work of one of the world’s greatest living masters.
