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) read more
