Bali Pink Ribbon is one of the island’s long-standing charitable organisations, focused on raising awareness of breast cancer around Bali, as well as organising breast cancer screenings and even treatment for rural communities and those in need. October is known around the world as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and so this month Bali Pink Ribbon, in collaboration with Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach, is holding multiple events to help raise awareness and funds for the foundation.

Sani has had solo exhibitions in several galleries and arts spaces across Bali, Jakarta, Singapore, Italy, Germany, and Netherland. Her artworks were also exhibited in group exhibitions abroad such as in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Germany, Guangzhou China, Perth, and Darwin.
Also in displayed in the hotel lobby will be the fashion designs of Ami Zijta, founder of Amiga clothing line. Amiga, derived not only from her name but also from the Spanish phrase “mi amiga”, or my girl friend”, the fashion brand is dedicated to a celebration of women’s femininity. Ami started the label back in 2013, and it is itself an example of her own perseverance as she pushed and challenged herself to make the business grow.
