Cause We Love Jogja

I gather with my friends. In a food stall called angkringan, a symbol of wong cilik. People. We talk about our journey as a Yogyanese who live in a city where we can find culture and modern living sit together in a circle. Yes, Yogyakarta. As a special province in Indonesia where a kingdom still runs it wheels, Yogyakarta is a beautiful modern city. I learn to play Gamelan, waving at the people around with smiles in their face, to see traditional market stand in the light of urban living. Cultural richness in Jogja is used as the weapon to gain the welfare. That’s why it needs more attribute to draw tourists attention. Hotels, restaurants, fun places to go. What else?. You gonna find many more in this big city.

Years living here make me understand that Yogya grows as I am. There are lots of new building brings new culture in this city. Lost most of playgrounds make me realizes that I am not cute little child anymore. I lost in this town. Hotel is everywhere. That is right that Yogya is a tourism city. And I say to myself that Yogya such a girl who dress up herself to attract more and more people to visit. Many-many hotel dresses in the deep Jogja to fulfill tourist’s need. Ah.. such a live.

We are really sorry for this condition. Yogya is getting hotter and hotter day by day. Though we are not stake holder or VVIP people who is able to take the decision about the city development, we give our opinion to the government by making action: an exhibition. This is it. A great idea from Bondan Peksojandhu leads us to criticize the situation with unique idea.

Memeluk Pelangi Dalam Dekapan Sudut Hatimu by Bondan Peksojandhu

The project called Memeluk Pelangi Dalam Dekapan Sudut Hatimu. Translation in English: Hugging The Rainbow Within Your Heart. We call our self with Rainbow Paratrooper. It is a special name for us that becoming the knight who will spread rainbow in the city. How to spread happiness in the city?. Rainbow Paratroops were looking for participants who live in Jogja from any background and make them sketching their picture about hotels in Yogyakarta. Seems fun, aint it is?. Yah, sure.The pictures are the representative of society's aspiration about the hotel growth in this city. What we aim is to show to the government about society's response about Jogja's development nowaday. Furthermore, we hope that there will be no more hotels added because there are too much here. Jogja has already more hundreds hotel. Unfortunately, we do not know why it grows more year by year. When its let to happen, there will be no space again in Jogja. Every space gonna run to be business and no more playground or green spaces. So, sad.

Many paratroops have stories about their experience during their knight time. They thought that it was amazing moment to dig the information about Jogja people’s perspectives. During accompanying the participant drawing the sketch, people began to talk. Some of them said that the growth of hotels in Jogja increasing significantly. “Jogja was not as crowded as like this before, Mbak. More hotels mean more people come and it is so hot nowadays. There are no more trees, but hotels”. “They were promising that local people here will be given occupations. But, now? I still do unemployed”. Any other people told “it is really good to have a hotel here. My mother has a job now”. They have their own opinion about Jogja’s development in tourism sectors.

There are more than hundreds of sketches successfully collected. It was a great event of the society in picturing their feeling in nowadays situation. We treat their pictures by framing them inside of CD’s boxes. Instead of put it in the common frame, we use recycle things. To save the earth in an elegant way. That’s what we call.

To display them, we build shelves in the wall of Pusat Kebudayaan Koesnadi Hardjosoemantri in Universitas Gadjah Mada during an event Jogja Art Week in June 2015. Don’t forget to prepare the chairs for the audience. So, whenever the audiences visit our booth, they can sit, enjoy the works and think critically the moral values of nowadays situation.

Jaganen Lemahmu, Wangunkan Budayamu; Keep your Ground, Keep your Culture

In the beautiful twilight, Ketjil Bergerak, Tegalgendu Youngsters and USER UGM spend the day by talking and laughing. Drinking hot tea and eating some snacks such as nasi kucing, deep fried tofu and satay in the edge of the city. Are we only hanging out and chirping nonsense? No. We call it quality time of hanging out. Instead of spending time with nothing, we gathering and talking about our project: Mural Tegalgendu. A beautiful idea by Ketjil Bergerak who involves us to join. People might think that mural is in line with vandal which ruining the beauty of the city. No, not that. We are not vandal. We gonna treat the wall as our diary. So, our journey will be closed by making a diary about our concern to Kota Gede’s cultural heritage as our focus and Jogja’s development as our big theme.

Imagine your shouting voice embroider in the wall. It is not really great wall actually. Just a space in the edge of main street of Tegalgendu, Kota Gede area. Here, we engrave our aspiration for our beautiful city about a forgotten culture which caused by modernity.

Ketoprak Ongkek. Yes, it is the grandious theme of our journey. It is a forgotten traditional performing arts since no one play it again. Oh, so sad. How could we lost a beautiful heritage here. Based on our research, we find that it is an endemic of Kota Gede. No other place playing this kind of Ketoprak. But wait..before we go further, do you understand what is Ketoprak?. Ok, sure. Not all people know it. Ketoprak is a traditional theater which involves speech, movement and art within. Then, what makes Ketoprak and Ketoprak Ongkek different?. Sure, let’s peel the core.

First, the name of Ketoprak Ongkek is unique. Ongkek is a Javanese word means to move your shoulders up and down. So that it is the difference with common Ketoprak which no use any special point as like that. Second, it is Kota Gede’s heritage. It was Kota Gede people who create and play it. (interview with Bu Giri, maestro of Ketoprak Ongkek). Third, to watch the show and finish the chapters, we must follow the player to go around the city. First chapter might be played in a Kampung, next chapter gonna be kampung B and next in the Kampung C and so on. That’s so near with society. People gathering together, watching the different show and the most important is to strengthen the relationship between societies each kampung to other kampung people. Later, the instruments and costumes are really simple. The common Ketoprak will need many complex costumes and properties also music instruments. Meanwhile Ketoprak Ongkek need only long sleeves costumes (they are not allowed to use the open shoulder clothes as common ketoprak). Furthermore, it is only about 5 instruments such as saron, demung, kendhang, peking and kempul meanwhile traditional common Ketoprak might need more than 10 instruments. The story is about the society itself. They are not taking too much heavy privat-sphere-business such as kingdom or nobleman thingy. It can deliver the material about the problem in the society or even to inform something to society meanwhile common Ketoprak might play the kingship business.

After spend the time in research, we discuss about how to execute the project. It is gonna be challenging to pour our wild creativity since the research gives us broader perspectives about Kota Gede’s special performing art. In a cold night, we slurped our hot tea and talk the further plan. It ends in the concept, job sharing and blue print of mural sketch which will be shown to the public by our hand in the wall.

No more waiting. We need to execute the mural because we are too excited with our project. In the end of April, we start to pour our cans of paint. Started with blocking every inch of the wall by fuchsia color and draw the background picture. We make symbols of geometric measurement as a symbol that what we make in our live sometimes just stop in the theory. Sometimes, the reality far away from our great plan. Yeah, thats what we call: life. 

Blocking the wall

We reveal the diary of Ketoprak Ongkek's reborn in Kampong Tegalgendu, Kota Gede, Yogyakarta

This is the most complicated part. We took our weapon; hundreds of paper and spray paint. First layer made by blocking with white one to strengthen the second layer. Second layer, we brush with different color. Blue, darker blue, yellow, orange, green, black in the layers till it shaped a figure. Hmmm.. so complicated doesn’t, it? (but its fun. hehe)

Preparing the stencil

Measuring the plan

Brush your wild creativity

Keep going, keep steady

The last, engrave our words in this wall of aspiration. Jaga Lemahmu, Wangunkan Budayamu. The first line means that land business is a crucial issue nowadays. Numbers of people increasing every year because of birth rate or mobility. It means that we need more and more space. Moreover, Undang Undang Keistimewaan DIY (Yogyakarta’s Provincial Particular Law) which mentions about people without the leter of ownership will never be able to claim the land. Again, it means that there will be more and more people lost their land. Let’s play the logic. When there is no more land, no more local value able to stand in this dynamic era. That’s why we keep the last line: Wangunkan Budayamu. To keep our culture since it is our identity. So, Ketoprak Ongkek should be kept since it is local heritage of Kota Gede people as their identity.

Jaga Lemahmu, Wangunkan Budayamu

Born

The Masterpiece

Five weeks of processing our great project is enough to carve incredible experience and friendship between us. We start in a excitement, we finish it in a joy. Furthermore, we relieve that we can think critically to respond the society’s by our unique way.

LASER : Berkarya dengan Kertas

LASER dibuka lagi nih untuk bulan mei... Ayo ikutan!
Kemarin LASER mengundang miss Julie (dosen sastra inggris). Kali ini LASER bertema POP UP. Pop up adalah salah satu bidang kreatif dari paper engineering yang mengimplementasikan efek 3d atau buku bergerak. Teknik pop up ini telah berkembang sejak abad ke-13 di eropa. Movable book pertama kali muncul dengan teknik volvelles (atau yang kini dikenal sebagai teknik rotary), yakni melibatkan peranan poros pada susunan mekanis kertas. Teori tentang volvelles ini dicetuskan oleh Matthew Paris (1200-1259) dan Ramon Llull (1235-1316) (www.popuplady.com).

Disini kita mulai belajar memotong dan melipat kertas yang sebelumnya telah ada garis bantunya --sayang kalau buat sendiri masih belum mahir mengukurnya--. Miss Julie  mengajarkan dasar-dasar pembuatannya berdasarkan pola yang telah dibuat. Pola yang dibuatnya berasal dari buku pop up art miliknya. Hal itu karena memudahkan untuk belajar dari pada membuat polanya sendiri.

LASER berakhir hingga jam 7 malam. Tapi jangan khawatir LASER masih ada lagi tunggu saja informasinya. bye... bye...
