Plastic Waste Installation at DFS Bali Airport – Now to 31 October
In collaboration with DFS Bali Airport, Bali Airport authorities, Bye Bye Plastic Bags Youth Movement and artists Monez and Marmar a stunning artwork made entirely from over 3500 pieces of plastic waste is being installed on Thursday and Friday 19 – 20 September and will be on view until the end of October. Monez is a Balinese illustrator who gets his inspirations from Balinese fables and folk-tales and has exhibited his digital and hand-drawn works from Asia to Africa and the United States. He created the illustration for the Plastic Waste Installation. Balinese sculptor Marmar is well known for building eco-friendly ogoh-ogoh, the giant puppets trotted out the Eve of Nyepi. He was tasked with meeting the challenge to transform Monez’s illustration into a lively 3D art installation. If you are travelling in or out of the International Airport in Bali, take a few moments to view this creative effort.

Special highlight is on stories for youngsters and children. The festival will be screening award winning creations by American film makers like Burning Cane directed by Phillip Youman, a surfing documentary on the famous Santa Barbara surfers group, and Skin, 2018 Academy award winner for Best Live Action Short Film.
