Imogiri Royal Cemetery Female visitors in period are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard.
Visitors are required to wear a set of traditional Javanese attire available for rent at moderate price at the administration office. Males will have to wear a ‘kain batik’ wrapped around the lower body. Bared upper body is allowed. But it will be appreciated if they wear a full uniform (‘kain batik’ for lower body, a long-sleeved and high-collared shirt, and a special cap).

“Indonesian women are supposed to embrace Eastern and Islamic cultures, where they dress in appropriate clothing that covers their aurat [parts of the body that are mustn’t be showed],
“Busana Jawa Kuna” (“Ancient Javanese Fashion”)..ikat (tie-dyed) sarong
Concepts of dress and undress, and the power that inherently goes along with body images, will continue to be something that we all must deal with on a daily basis—it happens every day when we have to decide what to wear. The Balinese now use their traditional clothing (pakaian adat) as a statement of identity—it is not only worn now for rituals but also at state functions and to perpetuate their idea of difference, to both Europeans and other Indonesians. Whether used to perpetuate the idea of power or to maintain an identity of “the other”, clothes or the lack therein, as they say “make the man” (or woman).
In the Indonesian region, toplessness was the norm among the Dayak people, Javanese, and the Balinese people of Indonesia before the introduction of Islam and contact with Western cultures. In Javanese and Balinese societies, women worked or rested comfortably topless. Among the Dayak, only big breasted women or married women with sagging breasts cover their breasts because they interfered with their work. http://www.zulkarnainazis.com/2012/08/the-indonesian-independence-day-series_1854.html

And Quoting ouselves
We scream noise and cyborg covens,
soldering and alchemy,
we spit out performances and install gnu-linux,
we love recycling and reparing with our breasts bared.
We laugh about everything, about ourselves ..
we detest the politically correct.
We parody what is socially understood to be feminine, what is supposed to be masculine.
We question the identity of assigned genders,
we exagerate it, ridiculise it.
Extremely sexual, ironic, sarcastic,
we love to party, to not sleep,
to take drugs if we feel like it,
to go with our friends
or to finish a circuit
or improvise an eternal noise jam.
Fed by pornoterrrorism and free culture,
we know how to use our claws and teeth if needs be.
As Mentawai tooth sharpening and biawak komodo … =P
