Mangku Muriati is amongst a number of artists who have been working for more than 30 years to preserve the knowledge and beliefs integrated into Kamasan paintings. Whilst the Kamasan style still exists as part of traditional indigenous knowledge in Balinese society, Muriati—as one of the leaders of a temple in a district of Bali—resists the almost absence of strong women figures in the paintings. She therefore often re-narrates or reinterprets traditional manuscripts with an awareness of gender balance and an understanding of the role of women in social space by representing heroines or goddesses, such as Shakuntala, Sarasvati, and others, at the centre of her paintings’ narratives. She also evokes forgotten local Balinese female figures to jog collective memories on the importance of their contributions to the development of Balinese culture and political contexts.
