About Us
Art historian Kaja McGowan was on a Fulbright Fellowship in Indonesia in 1990-91.
She learned that Balinese Hindus use one ceremonial bird again and again.
"Borrowing Paradise" follows Surya, a Balinese boy who plays a key role in the elaborate Hindu ritual set in motion when his beloved grandfather dies.
The boy helps prepare the towers and carries the stuffed bird-of-paradise during the ritual.
