In December 2023, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia, in collaboration with the Indonesian Embassy in Seoul, held a selection for a cultural internship program at the Indonesia Centre, Busan University of Foreign Studies (BUFS). This program aims to introduce Indonesian culture within the framework of cultural diplomacy in South Korea.
The Indonesia Centre at BUFS, inaugurated in June 2022, functions as a center for cultural diplomacy and strengthens Indonesia-South Korea relations. The internship program runs for three months, from April to June 2024, with five selected participants living in campus dormitories and interacting with local students. This allows for a deeper exchange of information and cultural introduction. One of the selected participants is Veronika Dian Anggarapeni, a student from PSPSR UGM.
On August 17th 2024, PSPSR UGM held a community service at Kenteng, Morobangun, Prambanan, Sleman. One of the programs was the Sasirangan Workshop. Sasirangan is a traditional technique of textile manipulation that uses drawstring and color dye to create patterns. Sasirangan production is a meticulous process involving several steps. Initially, the textile is cleaned with detergent before undergoing a mordanting process using ash and potassium alum, followed by careful drying away from direct sunlight. Once prepared, intricate designs are sketched onto the fabric and then stitched by hand. The textile is subsequently gathered by pulling the string tightly before being immersed in dye and then a mordant solution to set the color. This dyeing and fixing process is typically repeated two or three times to achieve the desired color intensity and durability.
The series of community service activities by the 2023 cohort of Master’s students from the Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies (PSPSR) Program in Madurejo Village continues. On Friday, August 16, 2024, following a local night vigil ceremony, PSPSR students held a discussion event themed “Reactualization and Conservation of the Kenteng Site in the Framework of the Panji Story.” In the spirit of commemorating Indonesia’s independence as a symbol of the heroes’ struggle, the main aim of the discussion was to inform and promote the conservation of the Kenteng Morobangun Site, which holds a long history closely related to the oral traditions of the local community.
The dance and music workshop was part of the community service program (Kolaborasa #2) organized by the 2023 cohort of Master’s students from the Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies Program. The workshop took place in Kenteng Hamlet, Madurejo Village, Prambanan District, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. It was held from August 11 to 17, 2024, and the results were presented on August 18, 2024, in the form of a cultural parade to celebrate the 79th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia.
On Friday, August 16, 2024, Cleaning the Site and performing the Umbul Donga were the next events in the Kolaborasa #2 Community Service series, organized by the 2023 class of Master’s students from the Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies Program at Universitas Gadjah Mada.
The activities began with cleaning the site, followed by a collective prayer session (Umbul Donga) attended by students and local community members. The Umbul Donga, as part of the efforts to preserve traditional customs (“nguri-nguri” adat), was carried out with the hope that it would continue as an expression of gratitude for the conservation of the Kenteng site conducted by PSPSR UGM students. Interestingly, the site is located at the border between villages, so the prayers were led by three community leaders: Ky Ponidi (from Kenteng Hamlet), Ky Ato (from Morobangun Hamlet), and Ky Musyafa (from Wonokromo, Bantul). The event was also attended by Gus Awaludin GD Mu’alif, head of the Muslim Artists and Cultural Figures Organization (Lembaga Seniman Budayawan Muslimin Indonesia) for the D.I. Yogyakarta region.
The Umbul Donga concluded with a Jathilan performance, representing the connection between the Kenteng Morobangun site and the Panji Morobangun legend. This activity aimed to raise public awareness of the importance of the historical site surrounding them. It also aligned with the implementation of SDGs 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). (AZ)
