Taringpadi is a group of artists and cultural activists who have lived and worked collectively in Central Java since the fall of Suharto's military regime in 1998. They were instrumental in organizing some of the radical cultural protests and performaces that animated the student movement of 1998 and continue to push democracy and social justice education amongst urban and rural Javanese.The messages on the T-shirt's by Taringpadi reflect the condition of Indonesian women workers overseas.
