Indonesian artist Samidjan created a pair of Javanese wayang kulit (leather shadow puppets) depicting trans goddess Betari Jaluwati and a knight and trans man Bambang Priawan, showing the versatility of ancient craft through his "wayang marjinal" lineup. 1/9 #WyrdWednesday #art

Bambang Priawan (right) is bullied by fellow knight because of his identity. Betari Jaluwati (left) answers his woe by appearing when he's meditating. Samidjan created them out of recycled plastic and made sure all their colors appear on the screen, unlike typical wayang. 2/9
