A WEEK FOR OUR RIVERS : PART 4

This was the one of double entrance of the exhibition room, that made of webbed bamboo for the wall and dried grasses for the roof.

This was the discussion patch next to a complete Javanese music instrument.

We can enjoy the peacefulness of the atmosphere of the river through this traditional music.

A patch of photography exhibition about the river.

Another part that filled of paintings, again... the object was about the river.

Some products that we use to find them around the river side.

There are some bananas and edible root plants.

This patch was describe another life on the river side.

Some varieties of sweet potatoes.

Several varieties of little bamboo plants.

A product that came from the river.
Compost...
A NGO that concern to the life of the river not just do river's patrol, but also process the waste on the river became compost, and share it to the peoples that live near the river side.
And they also shared the compost to us.

These some endemic fishes that found on Javanese rivers, that protected and conserved by Governoor's Regulation.

A complicated effort to keep our rivers protected and sustainable.

A WEEK FOR OUR RIVERS : PART 3

ART WORKs FROM RIVER SIDE
We can find two art works that made from wooden board, bamboo and aren fruits (Arenga pinnata).
Aren is a kind of palm that grown naturally on the river side.
Bamboo and aren are main plants that grow and support river ecosystem.

The first one is a 'mountain' that made from wooden boxes and aren fruits.
And there are some 'peoples' that work on that mountain.
The people made of dried grass.
I'm not sure what it means, I'm not an art curator...

I'm so sorry, I don't have any night shots.
The night situation is more dramatic.
The boxes that filled by aren fruits is also filled by lamps too.
The lighting effect is awesome.

The second art work is the bamboo wall with hanged aren fruits (Arenga pinnata).

There some holes there, these holes became  great frame for the visitor to take some pictures.

Simple lighting becomes a dramatic effect in the night.

There are four wooden boxes that full of aren fruits under the hanged aren fruits.

Just three kind of material...

Above the wall, there's a simple sentence that written on the Javanese script 'Ambanyu mili' means flows like as water.

Maybe, the bunches of the hanged aren fruit describe the water's flow.
And the boxes are 'ponds' that 'load the water'

These are the aren fruits closer...

Again, I'm not sure what it means.
Whatever it mean,  I'm really interested to this wall.
So beautiful...

MAIN GATE
This main gate is made from webbed bamboo.
It's located near the road.
These are view from the road.

Please, ignore the shade of me...

A couple of carrier baskets as a mobile stall for 'dawet' seller.

Dawet is a traditional drink from our town that made from Arenga pinata starch, coconut milk, and palm sugar.

These are picture from the parking area, or the back side.

The night view is more interesting.

The lighting makes a great effect.

And there are several 'statues' that made from grasses 'alang-alang' (Imperata cylindrica) behind this gate.
We can see that from the parking area.
It must be there's a story here.

There are two groups of statue here, both of right and left side.

What a shame, I don't know whom is the artist that design this gate.
I think it's a great art work.

From simple materials become a great art work, so interesting...
Let's check it up.
