About
"Van Sumatra over Java, van de Molukken tot Papoea: in heel Indonesië speelden en spelen de voorouders een vooraanstaande rol. Hun cultus en voorstellingen getuigen van een enorme diversiteit, kracht en poëzie. Een bijzondere introductie tot Indonesië, vertrekkend vanuit het erfgoed, maar met actuele vragen rond tradities en rituelen in een hedendaagse maatschappij. Nooit eerder getoonde archeologische en etnografische schatten worden samengebracht met uniek beeldmateriaal en interviews. Een samenwerking met het National Museum in Jakarta en tal van collecties uit alle uithoeken van de archipel." -- publisher's description.
