Bali Photographer Association Art Ecosystem Pierre Bourdieu's Perspective

ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the scope of activities within the art ecosystem of the Perhimpunan Fotografer Bali (PFB) through the theoretical lens of Pierre Bourdieu. The research is particularly significant as PFB represents the oldest photography association in Bali, with notable achievements at both regional and national levels. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and document analysis, with data interpretation grounded in Bourdieu’s theoretical framework. The findings indicate that the scope of PFB’s activities can be categorized based on funding sources, including public funding, private sponsorship, and self-funding. The art ecosystem within PFB is manifested across the domains of education, economy, organization, and the arts. Each member contributes to the sustainability of the ecosystem, as reflected in the interaction of various forms of capital—economic, social, cultural, and symbolic—possessed by its members. This study concludes that PFB has successfully positioned itself as a dominant class by leveraging strong social, economic, cultural, and symbolic capital. The outcomes of this research offer valuable insights into the comprehensive and effective management of photography communities and may serve as a model for promoting the sustainability of other photography communities in Bali.
