Presentation's title:

Paradise Lost: Mourning of the World

On 12 October 2002, two bombs exploded on Bali, long considered the epitome of an island paradise, killing 180 people. Based on this event, Indonesia’s presentation deals with terror and violence within its own borders and around the world. Another facet of "paradise lost" is the discrimination against the citizens of this country, which has the world’s largest percentage of Muslim inhabitants, while traveling in Western countries (see Arahmaiani).
