Indonesia Forum Public Seminar Series: Dr Sadiah Boonstra

In this seminar, Dr Sadiah Boonstra discusses the politics of heritage formation and wayang performance practice in Indonesia. The construction of wayang as cultural heritage roots in the colonial and postcolonial past, but this rather static official standard for wayang does not always reflect popular wayang performance practices.
