Publisher: Srihana Batik Tulis, Jakarta, Catalog. (Indonesian). Softcover
This commemorative catalog was published to honor and perpetuate the life and enduring legacy of Go Tik Swan Panembahan Hardjonagoro, who passed away in 2008 in Surakarta. An exhibition of his oeuvre was organized at his residence on Kratonan Street No. 101, Solo, attended by his devoted disciple Hardjosoewarno, his wife Supiyah Anggriyani, as well as numerous friends and admirers. A 1000 days ceremony after his demise, following Islamic prayers and traditional Javanese rituals, white doves were released as a symbolic gesture, signifying the collective act of returning his soul to God Almighty. In the eulogy dedicated to Panembahan Hardjonagoro, his artistic achievements were extolled as exemplars of aesthetic mastery and perfection. His batik creations were said to embody rosso (passion), kesabaran (patience), and ketelitian (meticulous precision). The exhibition featured 65 batiks produced in the Kratonan workshop alongside 27 batik works from other studios, culminating in a total of 92 pieces. These works now form part of the private collection of Supiyah Anggriyani, ensuring the preservation of his artistic heritage.

This catalog illuminates the evolving role of women in Indonesia across the ages, as reflected through diverse artefacts. Women’s contributions extend far beyond the domestic sphere: they are not only nurturers of family life but also vital actors within the broader fabric of society. Their creativity in agriculture demonstrates remarkable innovations; their resilience and ingenuity are evident in the pursuit of livelihood; and their presence in governance underscores their influence in shaping communal and national life. The booklet traces women’s significance from prehistory to the modern era. It highlights women in classical Indonesia — including their participation in politics and governance — as well as their representation in legends and historical narratives. It explores women’s artistry in jewelry, their courage during times of struggle and revolution, and their transformative role in the era of national development. Together, these chapters reveal the enduring strength, creativity, and leadership of Indonesian women as custodians of culture and agents of progress.
