By: Dewi Linggasari
Is there an art lover
who is not enamoured with the mystery sculpture Asmat? Masterpieces of all wow
ipits - sculptor - who took the name so famous Asmat and invite all enthusiasts
flock to watch and have a traditional sculptures were amazing. Asmat carving
strokes so mystical image, Media Boost brings all nature lovers to it, the world
that brings the wow ipits highly concentrated in creation, then Asmat carvings as works of art that are not owned by any tribe. There
is no patron in any Asmat carvings, some are not even twins carvings. Each
carving has its own characteristics different from the clump, Bismam, Kenok,
Joerat, Shaphan, Shimei, and Becmbub.
It also has different
characteristics, human carving Bismam Clump, clump panels on Joerat, openwork
carving and sculpture Kenok legend in clumps, and the clumps Solawaku Shaphan.
But the life force that moves the hand is the same ipits wow, that Asmat see
life into three layers: Asmat ow capinmi - nature of life, dampu ow capinmi -
natural death, and Shaphan - heaven. So that the spirit of the deceased
relatives can enter safar the engraver must make sculptures and gave yuwus -
name - and also organize a traditional feast in the jew - the footman.
Encourage the flow of
change in the era of globalization flowed without defence, such great interest
to the statue caused a shift of Asmat carvings of sacred values towards profane. The wow ipits not just carve for relatives who have died, but in order
to meet the interest of art lovers. Cultural feast Missionaries held every
October and fully supported by the Asmat government is an event for all
creative carvers to express and display expertise for all art lovers. In the
Party Culture displayed variegated carved motif of each cluster that describes
the daily life, customs and variety of flora and fauna in the environment
Asmat.
Statues of women
fulfilled the whole motif carvings displayed in each Party Culture. Women who
are carrying children or breastfeeding and sago describe the role of
women in everyday life in completing household chores. Women do not engage in
hunting activities or parties cut the head in the past, women did not have a
hierarchy in the social system except as the provider of consumption in
everyday life as well as in any traditional feast. In the era of globalization,
when the function of women increasingly questioned in the communal life, the
domestic duties of a woman must be balanced with social and economic function,
so existence woman concerned may appear to the surface.
The involvement of
women in the Party Culture by auctioning and woven handicrafts are the efforts
of the committee to raise the dignity of women, so it can be equal to men.
While opportunities schoolgirls in obtaining a scholarship to the university is
the official efforts of the local government in order to provide a decent
education for the rights of women and the next can also seat of government. The
hard work in achieving gender equality certainly a long struggle that is not
easy to achieve and should be supported by all parties. There are several
factors that can be supported in the framework of gender equality, the support
of the family, the public recognition of the cultural background of the local,
government policy, and the hard work of women to themselves.
Is there a moment wow
ipits will hand carve the figure of a woman as a leader?
