Brief history
UNIMA Indonesia was established on December 16th, 2009 in Jakarta. The declaration of its establishment was signed by Dr. H. Solichin, Chairman of the National Secretariat of Indonesian Wayang [SENAWANGI], Mr. Ekotjipto, Chairman of Indonesian Puppeteers Union [PEPADI], Mr. Dadi Pudumjee, President of UNIMA and M. Jacques Trudeau, Secretary General of UNIMA on December 15th, 2009 in the SENAWANGI office in Jakarta.

Important projects and achievements
In 2010, UNIMA Indonesia staged an event which helped to revive the Potehi Puppet tradition. It published a graphic book on Indonesia wayang. This serves as a bridge for the younger generations to understand and love wayang, and to encourage their participation in the preservation of the wayang, recognized by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It organized an International Symposium on October 17th, 2011 in Serpong, Tangerango to celebrate the two years of UNIMA Indonesia, when it organized the performance of Javanese shadow puppets. It participated in the World Wayang Summit in 2012 organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
