Women’s Day Exclusives
When April falls each year, we celebrate the birth month of Kartini that has become the month to celebrate women. And to celebrate women means letting women have choices, supporting and respecting them; including who they really are as Indonesian women and how they express themselves in this very century.
EXPLORING JOMBANG'S WAYANG POTEHI
The oldest potehi ever found in Indonesia is archived in a temple in the Chinese kampung in Gudo village, Jombang. The kampung was officiated by the colonial Dutch government in September 1889 after the establishment of a sugar mill near the area. Since the establishment of this sugar mill, immigrants from Fujian had been coming to Gudo to work. One of the immigrants that arrived from Fujian was Tok Su Kwie. He was a sehu (puppet master) of a potehi group called Fu He An. Today, his grandson, Tok Hok Lay or Toni Harsono, is continuing his legacy.
