Group Introduction An institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples in Brazil
The Wayang Sasak Puppetry School is an institution established to revitalize the endangered tradition of
Sasak puppetry in Lombok, Indonesia. Moving away from the formerly exclusive family-based
transmission system, the school provides open, informal education that allows any youth to learn puppetry arts.
Alongside practical training in performance, music, and puppet-making, the school also
engages in digital archiving, traditional music recording, and curriculum sharing to ensure both documentation and transmission of Sasak puppetry.
