Golden Lineage (Indonesia, Yogyakarta)

In Yogyakarta, young girls take part in traditional parades wearing Javanese kebaya outfits, enhanced with batik patterns and symbolic jewelry. These parades, often organized for national holidays, religious celebrations or historical commemorations, allow for a lively transmission of Indonesian aesthetic and cultural codes .

The wearing of headdresses, embroidered fabrics, and the coded attitude of manual gestures reflect the early learning of ritual dances and body etiquette specific to the archipelago. More than a costume, it is a cultural affiliation embodied in the details of the textile, in the posture, in the gaze. An aesthetic lineage transmitted from childhood.
