When we think of artist representation, it is a menagerie of style, personality, and creative medium as unique as the artist themselves—aesthetic style may come across as similar but it is never quite the same, just as a no one person ever is. In this article, Kriztille explores the landscape of self expression and their representation in popular form: the Selfie.

As you may have known from our Events Page, the good folks in Surabaya will be hosting Pasar Kampung Ampel, a one-day festival with food, a walking tour, a film screening and more, celebrating the city's Arab Kampong. I personally recommend everyone who are in the area to go to the event this Sunday (Jul 20, 2014) because the area is truly captivating. Me and my wife had the chance to visit Kampung Arab a couple of months ago as we were going to perform in Sunday Market Surabaya with Jirapah. Our gracious hosts from C20 and ORE, particularly Anitha Silvia, aka Tinta (who happens to be the contact person for Pasar Kampung Ampel), took us on a night tour of the area, and through our short visit we were able to get a taste of what the kampong has to offer. We arrived at the main street of Kampung Arab relatively late at night, and, to our surprise, the area was bustling with activities. As the daytime kiosks were packing up, food vendors opened-shop and the smell of the spices as well as the smokey scent of grilled lamb was thick in the air. Tinta first took us on a tour of the residential area. Waeving through relatively small alleyways, we enjoyed looking at the colorful architecture that surrounded us and getting lost in the kampong's twists and turns. During a short break, we were treated to some Jamu at a very popular spot (the place was packed!). A short walk towards the river (whose name slips my mind at the moment), our surroundings changed. The dense rows of houses were replaced by warehouses where squatters reside as well as makeshift homes that attached themselves to the buildings. Despite my rather poor description, the ageing of the buildings and the apparent community that resides there makes for a beautiful sight - reminding us of how old Surabaya is - the neighbourhood radiated a romantic atmosphere. We then ended the night by eating Lamb Briyani at one of the delicious food kiosks on the main street. In short, walking around Kampung Arab was quite the adventure, even if we were only there for a couple of hours. I'm sure with Pasar Kampung Ampel the sights, sounds, and activities will give you an even better experience than ours, and if our short visit was already awesome, I'm willing to bet this event will be on some next level awesomeness.

The World Cup is finally over. Germany came out victors against Argentina, and the Dutch beat the host, Brazil, for a third place finish. For hardcore football fans in Indonesia, this means they no longer have to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning (although I suppose there are other leagues to watch?). Admittedly, I do not watch much football, and even though I really wanted to, I didn't even get to watch the World Cup finals (my television has no antenna). I got my updates on the Germany-Argentina match via this New York Times Blog which provided very good descriptions of the game. Blog-reading isn't quite as fun as watching the actual game (obviously!), and out of boredom I soon started browsing the New York Times coverage of the 2014 World Cup instead of staring at the blog intently. As I looked through the New York Times, I stumbled upon this very awesome animated storybook by Christoph Niemann and Jon Huang. Through beautiful photography, illustrations, animation, music and sound effects, Niemann talks about his search for Brazil's Football spirit, and how the Curse of Maracana has haunted the country's psyche for decades. What exactly is the Curse of Maracana? Hardcore football enthusiast probably know, but for those who do not, take a look at the storybook and find out for yourselves (link below).
