REPOSITION OF BATIK STORIES PANDEMY PERIOD

Ariesa Pandanwangi

Abstract


The Covid -19 pandemic is considered a world disaster, which has tragically claimed many lives. Amongst this tragedy, it actually gave birth to creative ideas in developing batik motifs that were adopted from folklore. The problem in this research is how the visual expression of batik tells a story that was initiated from the use of masks. This study aims to analyze comprehensively. The visual expression of batik tells a story that was initiated by the government regulation to use masks in everyday life. Exploration of the subject matter in batik telling stories with the central figure of Roro Kidul is a case study in this research. The researcher identified 5 stories with the theme of Nyai Roro Kidul which were selected from book covers, films, paintings and batik stories. The tendency of this visualization is that Nyai Roro Kidul is visualized as mystical, beautiful, with long hair, and wearing a green costume. Repositioning of batik tells a story visualized in the figure of Roro Kidul who is wearing a mask, the present story in batik is also visualized in the idea of choosing a color that is quite striking. The choice of color was initiated to reposition batik as it tells stories that it appears in a different way and is expected to revive the creative industry during this pandemic. The pandemic atmosphere is a bridge to create a lot of creativity in processing the idea of telling stories based on folklore. It is hoped that the existence of storytelling batik will grow and can increase the economic potential of the creative industry.
Keywords : batik, folklore, pandemic
