How do practices that expand our mindfulness and awareness also expand our practice as artists and researchers?

Located in the center of the island and surrounded by rice fields, temples and tropical forests, this town is known for its magnetic charm, regularly drawing in creatives, freelancers, and seekers from all corners of the world. The wealth of art, sacred locations, markets and natural sites will serve as key points of our territory exploration, during which we will not only receive invaluable new material for our work but also leave an impact on the local community through social interaction and exchange. Free afternoons and structured excursions will provide Becomebecomers with an opportunity to find their own unique way to engage with the diverse territory that surrounds us.</span><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span id="cid:17A483C2-E8CF-42DC-B59C-20E42F3C4527@home"><Bali bridge.png></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">From an arts perspective, Ubud has a rich history of exchange between east and west. Pioneering artists like Walter Spies, who moved to the island in the 1930s and co-founded the Pita Maha Artists Cooperative together with fellow artist Rudolf Bonnet, have left their mark on the cultural scenes and continue to be key references in the history of artistic exchange between Asia and Europe. Stepping into and beyond the path these artists have carved for transcultural dialogue, we will experience how the continuing lure of Bali stands to transform our own practices and artwork.</span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span id="cid:D97761A0-F83A-4E1C-A637-BB4E9AAE5016@home"><Bali Museum Street.png></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 26px;"><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 26px;">The BecomeBecome Bali Hub - Accommodations & Logistics</span></div><div class=""><span class="" style="font-family: poppins-extralight, poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Artists will be accommodated in shared double rooms in a villa complex just outside of Ubud. with a a limited number of single rooms available.
