‘Book of Beasts’ exhibit explores Goenawan Mohamad’s joy of the unexpected

Renowned poet, essayist, playwright and editor Goenawan Mohamad presents his first exhibition of prints, created during his artist-in-residence program at the DEVFTO Printmaking Institute. Goenawan Mohamad's Kitab Hewan: Book of Beasts exhibition is open from Feb. 3 to March 5 at Sika Gallery in Ubud, Bali, featuring a collection of his prints as an outcome of a residency program at the DEVFTO Printmaking Institute. “Prior to the pandemic, I knew nothing about printmaking, even though I greatly appreciated the [artistic] genre. Then, while attending an exhibition in Ubud in April 2021, I met Devy Ferdianto, Indonesia’s master printmaker, and I wanted to learn from him,” Goenawan told The Jakarta Post.
