"Kembali" is a regenerative project dedicated to raising awareness and preserving the unique land, culture, nature, and spirit of Bali. Founded by Eva Kandra, this initiative aims to counter the effects of overdevelopment and environmental degradation, which have impacted the island’s natural and cultural landscapes.
The mission of Kembali includes creating community gardens and safe, natural spaces where people from diverse backgrounds can gather and connect with the "True Bali" — the authentic, spiritual, and natural essence of the island. By establishing these communal spaces, the organization promotes sustainable practices and encourages a regenerative future for Bali.
Eva Kandra, of Indigenous Balinese and Canadian heritage, is a passionate advocate for alchemy—transforming pain into power and deep intimacy with life. She sees art as both the path and the outcome of this transformation, guiding Kembali’s mission with a deep commitment to local engagement, ecological preservation, and cultural advocacy.
The proverb "Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money" is a Native American proverb, often attributed to the Cree tribe, warning against the destruction of natural resources for short-term gain.
“To stand for something, is to stand for everything” — Eva Kandra
