Observing the effects of technology on children’s ecology and the prejudices towards the traditional art form, wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, Wayang Merdeka was formed in 2022 by Miko Jatmiko and Hangno Hartono with several artists to organise puppet-making workshops using recycled materials. These workshops educate the younger generations on wayang kulit and recycling in a fun and creative way. Within a year of formation, Wayang Merdeka has successfully organised more than six workshops and has actively collaborated with communities such as Urban Farming and the Jogja UFO Community in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Members of Wayang Merdeka include Hangno Hartono, Lejar Daniarta Hukubun, Miko Jatmiko, Adik Kristi'antoro and Dwe Rahmanto, with Arahmaiani as a consultant.
