The Bincang Redaksi-32 poster features a bronze statue of Dewi Sri or Dewi Padi as a symbol of fertility, often found in Java and Bali. In Balinese Hindu tradition, she is also known as Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and family prosperity. She gracefully holds a dangling rice stalk in both hands. The Goddess sits in the ardha padmasana position, her face radiant with a meditative gaze.
We no longer recognize his figure. We may also have lost the map of the diverse landscape of a prosperous food culture. In fact, our ancestors respected and honored food. Food and all its flavors were not only to satisfy hunger, but also to accompany sacred prayers.
Our ancestors taught us about the philosophy of Mother Earth and Father Sky-who are they? Why was their presence in dances and ceremonies so honored by our ancestors?
Compared to a thousand years ago, today we have advances in weather forecasting technology, agricultural technology, and food processing technology. However, we are no longer independent and proud of our food security. We have forgotten food as a cultural force; food is just a mere gratification of the tongue and stomach.
If food shapes our identity, how can the brilliance of the archipelago's food traditions be restored? How do we rediscover the energy to create the prosperity of the universe? The answers to these questions will be found in Bincang Redaksi-32.
