Procession in Bali: A World in a Painting - An Interview With Curator Christine Finn
Procession in Bali: A World in a Painting is an exhibition, on display at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery from 23rd March - 4th September 2024.
This exhibition tells the story of the painting “Procession in Bali”, and that of its creator, the Scots-born artist Ian Fairweather (1891 to 1974). Painted in 1933, this artwork from the collection of Leicester Museums has rarely been displayed in public.
Now, on the 50th Anniversary of Fairweather’s death, join international guest curator, artist, and writer Christine Finn on a journey to Bali and beyond, in pursuit of Fairweather’s emotive life-story.
Long celebrated in Australia, but overlooked in Britain, it’s time to rediscover Fairweather’s legacy through artefacts, archive material, and the sound of Gamelan music.
Leicester Museums & Galleries are supported by Arts Council England.

Incredible that they got it to work back in the day, and amazing that it's still going strong into the next millennium!
Do not underestimate Indians they don't give up will try anything to survive. Look where they are today from African countries be it Uganda or Kenya. Hardworking people we Indians are. Do not harm anybody just minding their own business. God bless us. Jai shree Ram ❤❤❤
Thank you Christine, excellent interview. We're also following the footsteps, and the 'voyage' of Fairweather with a new album and theatre work The Raft at Night.
Shite hole now thanks to that pathetic mayor peter soulessby and influx of the so called cultural 3rd world enrichment from yhe last 30 years or so!!!

Gt Uncle LCpl Alfred Horatio West 12158, D Coy 110th 8th Bn Tigers, KIA on 16th July 1916 aged 21. Joined up September 1914. Lived at Ethelville Uppingham Road, near Humberstone Park. I recently found all his correspondence up to the 14th July 1916. His last letter was written from Willow Trench to his sister Lucy, who would have been 16 on the day Alf died. Never forgotten Alf. Be at peace
France rob Angor-Wat and land from Siam.
Khmer did not built Angor Wat. Ancient Mon built Angor-wat. As DNA analysis of international. Khmer's DNA doesn't have DNA of Ancient Mon (Khom), Ti-ka-dai and India. Khmer DNA are included African and Indonesian. They are not the original people on this Mainland. But Thai people have DNA of Ancient Mon mostly in SEA and including with Tai-Ka-dai and India. You can search Khmer DNA analysis in Google.
My grandfather (born 1895) was injured on the Somme. His leg was saved by a German doctor. He picked shrapnel bits out of his legs for the rest of his life. He died of a stroke in 1967. His name was William Abraham Chamberlain and was born in Liverpool. He came to Leicester for work in the print trade when he was about 15-16 with his brothers, Charlie and ??. They all lived in and around the Saffron Lane Estate, Leicester.
I was there, but only three years old, couldn't see me and my mum though lol
I saw this at Leicester Museum yesterday. Excellent!
My grandfather Private Rupert Joseph Bennett 22749 11th (Midland) Battalion Leicestershire Rgt. He suffered severe shell shock and shrapnel wounds and was brought back to England in March 1917 to Edmonton Military Hospital. After being discharged, Rupert became a Master Joiner Carpenter and worked for the War Department in Leicester during World War Two. He passed away in 1979. Sadly, I witnessed the effects of his shell shock during a thunderstorm when I was staying with him one time. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to a proud Regiment, God bless each and everyone of them.
Really interesting 😅
Thanks for your information 👍 from Thailand.
Fascinating video, much respect to the leicesters especially my ancestors, especially Thomas and Charles Bull, Thomas was killed around arras in 1917 and Charles was wounded with the leicesters at bazentin wood and later elsewhere with the south staffs, visiting in a couple months 🕯️
Nice video thanks
Granby Street and Charles St, Haymarket, absolutely unsafe, and poverty stricken, no one goes into town from Oadby n Wigston area, the beggars and druggies are everywhere, I was approached 4 times in 5 mins the other day, such a shame, so provincial now, was so such a friendly place, I hate the town, no one dare say a word , but it has lost everything it ever had, I used to love the place.
Так, як?
Born in '55 I left Leicester in '80 and the UK in '83. By far the biggest and best change I saw was the late '70s removal of the coal-age patina. The entire city was coated with a dark, slate-grey soot that was especially depressing on murky days. Now all that Victorian brick and stonework has been revealed Leicester has been transformed back into the beautiful city originally intended :)
they are the very best of us all. i often think back to when i was 17 and i know i wouldn't have been man enough to do what they did. todays snowflake generation should think about these men when they think something is wrong in their lives. i will never forget what they did for us.
I was there, interesting place😊
I like this city😍! My son is living there now😅. I and my wife were there three times and we are going to go to Leicester again. UNITED KINGDOM 🇬🇧 is really beautiful country.
so many white faces, hard to believe in 29 years the city went to the dogs

Weird CZcams recommended but great video
Nice to look back at the history of your forefathers, the suffering of wars…my grandfather was tough as nails as was his father colour Sargents….the battle of lady smith and Eric Bown my grandfather was a real character ..POW in Poland(stalag) … it appear my grandfather transferred to the yorkshire light infantry in 1918. All the best 🙏🙏
I have some ladybird books and i want to sell it
My Great Grandfather John Henry Timms is on this memorial 6th Battalion Leicestershire Regiment service number 18883 Pier and Face 2 C and 3 A. KIA July 16, 1916 never been there as I grew up in Canada my Grandfather and the rest of the family moved left England in 1920 and moved to Canada. I must make a trip to France so see his name on this memorial and touch his name and run charcoal over paper and bring it home and frame it.
I don't think the painters began the movement, I think it was filmmakers, no?
Woke local authority embarrassing the city with this cringe worthy effort. This is like a bad comedy, it could be called sanctuary City! Please come into our 170 year old museum which you are probably not interested at all in, look we are not racist and welcome you all, whatever story you are telling!
A true craftsman!
We visited last week and it was wonderful. A full hours tour of all the floors whilst one pump engine is working. Beautiful building, friendly informative staff, lovely museum. great afternoon out. Only downside was that there is no cafe which would've been lovely for a nice coffee and cake after.
Leicester was a great city when I was a child now it looks like a 3rd world city
Sad but true
💯
Like most of Englands historic towns and cities Leicester has been plundered by developers sanctioned by incompetent and corrupt local authorities.
leicesters heritage has been destroyed by demolishing listed buildings, in favour of ugly housing estates and mosques noisy bloody things
We have lost so much
Bicycled over and under Belgrave flyover so many times to and from school....fond memories of my home town.
Wow! This was wonderful to watch!
RIP Fred Wykes, Ezra Wykes and Ernest Harold Bonner, all Leicestershire boys and my relatives 💜💜
Ugandan Indians settling in the UK. They Belo g to all 3 countries! Bow cosmopolitan!
Nothing has changed in Leicester no school places, housing, doctors, etc
Oh, so you use nylon tights around the vac nozzel, for extra protection. My pace uses patches of muslin cloth. We can then send those off for testing, on certain items, if needs be. But, the nylon might be good for "everyday".... I'll mention it to our collection officer
Thank you for a respectful remembrance of those lives lost to war in the city of Leicester. My mother Clarice Baldwin née Bennett of Aylestone village was 14 in 1940. She and her mother witnessed a raid whilst they were waiting for a bus/tram outside the Granby Halls in which enemy bombs fell on Cavendish Road causing loss of life. She was convinced that the target was probably the Aylestone Road Gas Works. She said that didn't remember an air raid siren warning, but just that a lone plane came out of the clouds and then went back up, it was then she heard the crump, crump, crump of the bombs exploding. This experience stayed with her all of her long life.
brotth,Thanks!breathtaking ,catch you later~
The indians are not lazy people they have transformed Leicester
You are doing great, keep it up! use a service such as P R O M O S M!!
My great uncle Pvt William Staines Leicestershire rgt was killed on Christmas Eve 1917 at a small village Epehy His platoon were repelling a German counter attack and my great uncle was hit by a gas shell and succumbed
