| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the social paraphernalia affecting women's art production in Bali, Indonesia - particularly painting. All forms of production in Bali - including art production - are divided along gender lines. Whereas men have traditionally produced certain art forms - i.e. painting - women have traditionally produced others - i.e. textiles. Not surprisingly, then, the majority of painters in Bali are men. However, today, more and more women are taking up painting professionally. I attribute this, in part, to the fact that a group of Indonesian and non-Indonesian women established alternate networks within which to operate during the early 1990s. These include Tkatan Seniwati di Bali (Women's Art Association of Bah), or ISW ALI, and the Seniwati Gallery of Art by Women. Both of these organizations provide women painters with the kind of institutional support denied them by local museums and art schools. In addition to this, they have helped legitimize women ' s art practise in Bali. | |
