Sayap Malaikat Danarto
Sosok-sosok bersayap, berpendar cahaya, dengan tubuh yang perkasa, yang dilambari dengan aroma wangi bunga, muncul tiba-tiba, terbang dan menari-nari, menyapa seorang anak yang rumahnya baru digusur, menemani anak-anak yang suntuk tenggelam di ruang sekolah untuk bermain di taman, membela seorang kiai yang hendak dibunuh seorang preman, memandu sebuah keluarga dalam perjalanan pulang ke kampung halaman, membawa lari seorang manajer…

Danarto pulang kota
Dalam rangka JILF 2022 yang akan diselenggarakan di TIM, kami bercita-cita untuk membawa Danarto pulang ke kota. Walau lahir dan besar di Sragen, berkuliah seni lukis di Yogyakarta, dan bolak-balik menelusuri masjid-masjid di berbagai kawasan pantai utara Jawa, sejak 1964, Danarto tinggal di Jakarta sampai akhir hayatnya.

Sketches, stitches, and negotiations: Unravelling Indonesia’s national history through its visual representations
Edhi Sunarso may well be the only artist who worked with all regimes, all throughout the time, including after Reformasi.
