About the Speaker
Emiko Saraswati Susilo is the daughter of the late Hardja Susilo, the longtime instructor and artistic director of the University of Hawaii Javanese Gamelan. In addition to other creative works, Emiko Susilo has done extensive voice acting including narrative, eLearning, and character roles. Born in Honolulu, she feels she may be like the honu that returns to the beach from which they were hatched each time she returns to the islands. Susilo says, “one of my life goals is forging paths to open opportunities for young women and underserved youth to have access to the arts and creative expression in Bali, Indonesia, Southeast Asia and the US!” She obtained her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and her Masters from the Asian Studies Department at the University of Hawai’i. An accomplished Balinese musician and dancer, Emiko Saraswati Susilo is also one of the core members of the Balinese Ensemble Cudamani based in Bali, Indonesia.
