The fearless buffalo racers of West Bali preserve their unique tradition by passing it down to the next generation. In Jembrana, West Bali, the tradition of buffalo racing known as Makepung is a sporting contest unlike any other. For jockeys, it’s more than a race, it's a way to connect with one’s ancestors, gain respect from the community, and to pass on culture to the next generation. We meet the team from Tropical Space Architects to learn more about their project, the award-winning Terra Cotta Studio in central Vietnam. This film is part of the British Council's Why I Make film series for our global programme, Crafting Futures. We commissioned this film series to celebrate craft and share maker's stories from around the globe; to inspire us and to show the value of craft in our history, culture and world today. From embroidery in Mexico to glassblowing in the UK and batik in Malaysia, find inspiration in the stories and work of these practitioners as they tell us, 'Why I Make'. Resort film for Awarta Nusa Dua, Bali. Voted world's best boutique hotel 2018 and 2019 A commercial for Thai Airways following influencer Miss Gunner around some of Bangkok's most stylish spots.
