In Indonesia, religious education in schools is part of the national curriculum and is intended to promote greater understanding of one's religion, in addition to tolerance and mutual respect between adherents of religion in personal, community and state life. However, key knowledge gaps exist regarding the current state of delivery of religious education, limiting efforts to develop reforms for improvement. To help in addressing this knowledge gap and at the request of the Ministry of Religion (MoRA), the World Bank analyzed the current state of management of teachers (GPAs) and supervisors (PPAs) of religion. To undertake this analysis, the team collected extensive qualitative and quantitative data between August 2018 and April 2019. Overall findings from the study reveal several management-related issues that likely limit effective delivery of religious education in Indonesia. Part 1 of this note analyzes management issues of GPAs, while part 2 focuses on PPAs.

In een tekst van **In Koli Jean Bofane** ontmoet **Freddy Tsimba** de dood, 'Liwa' genoemd. Dit gebeurt in een gevangeniscel tijdens de oorlog in Kisangani. Ze praten met elkaar. De kunstenaar onderhandelt over zijn leven, maar vooral over zijn werk, want hij creëert nieuwe figuren, dragers van leven en vrede. Als 'Meester-smid' - volgens de traditie - zet Freddy Tsimba het metaal van de conflicten (patroonhulzen, machetes) om in grondstof. Vrouwen, kinderen en mannen worden gebeeldhouwd met deze patroonhulzen die hij met gevaar voor eigen leven opraapt op de slagvelden, of met scharen die hij in ziekenhuizen verzamelt. Soms smelt hij deze materie, beladen met oorlog, opnieuw, zoals in zijn reeks *Overlevenden*. Deze heftige werken vormen een afspiegeling van de traditionele Afrikaanse maskers. Voor de twee kunstenaars is het van dringend belang een einde te maken aan valse beloftes. De Aarde staat beslist boven alles. De monumentale werken van Tsimba gaan een dialoog aan met de voorwerpen uit de collecties van het Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika (KMMA), Tervuren, België. Zo schenkt de kunstenaar een eerbetoon aan het werk van de smid en de klassieke beeldhouwers.

"Grayson Perry, renowned for his ceramic vases decorated with shocking, unconventional imagery, rose to fame in 2003 when he won the Turner Prize. Since then, Perry has remained an important voice in the arts and the contemporary discussion of gender--in 2016, he published the critically acclaimed book The Descent of Man. Perry's hard-hitting yet exquisite work, which also includes tapestry, prints, sculpture, and drawing, references his own upbringing and his life as a transvestite while engaging with broader issues, from war and religion to politics and sex. Grayson Perry, now in an expanded and updated edition to cover his work up to 2019, explores Perry's art through a discussion of his major themes and subjects. Jacky Klein's text is complemented by intimate and insightful commentaries on individual pieces by the artist, giving unique access to his imaginative world and creative processes. Over 225 of Perry's works are illustrated, as well as a rich selection of the visual material that has inspired him, from Afghan war rugs, Sumatran batiks, and medieval altarpieces to the paintings of Pieter Bruegel and the American Outsider artist Henry Darger." --Amazon.com

Ron Athey is one of the most important, prolific, and influential performance artists of the past four decades. A singular example of lived creativity, his radical performances are odds with the art worlds and art marketplaces that have increasingly dominated contemporary art and performance art over the period of his career. Queer Communion, an exploration of Athey's career, refuses the linear narratives of art discourse and instead pays homage to the intensities of each mode of Athey's performative practice and each community he engages. Emphasizing the ephemeral and largely uncollectible nature of his work, the book places Athey's own writing at its center, turning to memoir, memory recall, and other modes of retrieval and narration to archive his performances. In addition to documenting Athey's art, ephemera, notes, and drawings, the volume features commissioned essays, concise "object lessons" on individual objects in the Athey archive, and short testimonials by friends and collaborators by contributors including Dominic Johnson, Amber Musser, Julie Tolentino, Ming Ma, David Getsy, Alpesh Patel, and Zackary Drucker, among others. Together they form Queer Communion, a counter history of contemporary art

De Gentse installatie- en videokunstenaar Honoré δ’O laat zich inspireren door de handdoek op één van de buitenluiken van het 15de-eeuwse Lam Gods van de gebroeders Van Eyck. In het detail van de handdoek (en het water) schuilen de thema’s zorg, voorbereiding, intimiteit, stilte, zuiverheid en reinheid. De handdoek lijkt te zweven in de ruimte en roept de spanning van een nakende gebeurtenis op. Honoré δ’O neemt je mee in het verhaal van de aankondiging of annunciatie met een speciaal voor de Sint-Jacobskerk te Gent gecreëerde installatie waar dit kleine boek deel van uit maakt.
