Shadow Puppetry as a Tool for Political and Cultural Education in Muslim Societies

Shadow Puppetry originated in the archipelago, especially Indonesia, and has been around for centuries. In the Javanese palace environment, the art of shadow puppetry is very close to the world of politics and power. This shadow puppet show has existed since the Soekarno administration where shadow puppets became a means of political delivery, ranging from strengthening legitimacy, political events to campaigns.
