Born in Jakarta,
Juliana spent her
formative years in
Singapore and Melbourne
before returning home
to start a career in
journalism. She counts
driving through the
Uyghur country in
Xinjiang, western China,
as one of her most
memorable travels.

The founder and
director of Ubud Writers &
Readers Festival and Ubud
Food Festival, Janet is a
Melbourne-born author and
restaurateur who has lived
in Bali for three decades.
Her memoir Fragrant Rice
charts her love affair with
Balinese food, culture and
traditions. Bali: Food of My
Island Home is her recently
published cookbook. She is
also the owner of Casa
Luna restaurant and
cooking school, Indus, Bar
Luna and Honeymoon
Guesthouse in Ubud.

A self-taught
photographer and
software developer by
trade, Suwandi Chandra’s
interest in photography
blossomed while working
in the USA in 2007. He
is now based in Medan,
but his love of nature,
still-life and architectural
objects continues to fuel
his worldwide travels.

“I believe that birds
belong in the wild,
not in cages; it is the
free nature of birds that
is captivating, manifested
in their power of flight.”
Morten Strange has been
documenting the birds of
Indonesia with his lens
and his words since the
1980s. Today he is based
in Singapore, where he
has reinvented himself
as a financial analyst in
order to find out how
finance and economics
impact our environment.

Illustrator Hendri
Nguriana has loved
drawing since elementary
school. Creating
illustrations is his
favourite way of
expressing the ideas,
fantasies and abstract
concepts in his mind.
He takes inspiration
mostly from his favourite
movies and video games
and from his travels.

Lahir di Jakarta,
Juliana menghabiskan
masa kecilnya di
Singapura dan Melbourne
sebelum akhirnya kembali
ke Jakarta untuk memulai
kariernya dalam
bidang jurnalisme.
Pengalamannya yang
paling berkesan adalah
berkendara melewati
daerah Uyghur di
Xinjiang, China Barat.

Pendiri dan Direktur
Festival Ubud Writers
& Readers ini adalah
penulis sekaligus pebisnis
restoran kelahiran
Melbourne yang telah
tinggal di Bali hampir
30 tahun. Bukunya yang
berjudul Fragrant Rice
menggambarkan
kecintaannya pada
makanan dan tradisi Bali.
Buku terbarunya, Bali:
Food of My Island home.
Dia juga pemilik restoran
dan sekolah memasak
Casa Luna, Indus, Bar
Luna dan Honeymoon
Guesthouse di Ubud.

Minat Suwandi
Chandra, fotografer
autodidak sekaligus
konsultan software
developer, mulai
berkembang saat bekerja
di AS tahun 2007.
Walau kini Suwandi
bermukim di Medan,
kecintaannya terhadap
alam, objek hidup dan
bangunan arsitektur
terus membuatnya
melancong ke berbagai
belahan dunia.

“Saya percaya bahwa
burung seharusnya
tinggal di alam liar, bukan
di dalam sangkar. Burung
adalah makhluk bebas,
karena mereka memiliki
kemampuan untuk
terbang.” Morten Strange
telah mendokumentasikan
burung-burung Indonesia
lewat foto dan tulisan sejak
1980-an. Saat ini menetap
di Singapura dan memulai
kariernya sebagai seorang
analis keuangan untuk
memahami bagaimana
keuangan dan ekonomi
berdampak bagi
lingkungan.

Ilustrator Hendri
Nguriana, lahir dan besar
di Jakarta, sudah suka
menggambar sejak di
bangku sekolah dasar.
Menggambar ilustrasi,
baginya merupakan
sarana mengekspresikan
ide, khayalan, serta
konsep yang ada di
benaknya. Inspirasi dan
ide untuk karya-karyanya
kebanyakan didapatnya
dari film, video game,
dan hobi melancongnya.
