Abstract

This study aims to explore the visualization of damar kurung's painting with Nyonya Muluk theme and its meaning in the context of Javanese culture critically. It was stated that the figure of Nyonya Muluk was inspired by Masmundari's experience of meeting the Queen of the Netherlands who had visited Surabaya. Nyonya Muluk is described as a large woman who wears a dress and jewelery and has a pair of wings. Around her are other human figures painted in smaller sizes. To pursue the aim this study, the analysis was conducted using Gillian Rose's visual methodology which takes the position of the site of self. The analysis of this study found how Masmundari depicts objects by combining opposing cultural elements reflecting that the postcolonial subject is never completely the position of the colonized or the colonizing self. The ambivalence that arises in the practice of mutual views shows a form of negotiation or resistance from the colonized position. Masmundari's remitology also depicts the Indonesian nation as a colonized party trying to decolonize itself from colonial rule. By relocating the mythology of Nyonya Muluk in a contemporary context, this painting shows the efforts of the Indonesian people to regain 'independence' by using local traditions to fight against the culture imposed by the colonialists. In short, it can be concluded that the remitology of Nyonya Muluk in amar kurung's painting not only reflects Masmundari's resistance to Western colonial and post-colonial rule, but also represents Masmundari's resilience to the definition of her identity as Javanese.

Abstract

In the digital era, social media has become an important marketing tool for businesses, including the culinary industry. This study examines the use of motion graphics to develop the social media presence of Rarampa Resto and Bar, a restaurant serving Manado cuisine and healthy MSG-free food, located in South Jakarta. Although the restaurant has a loyal customer base, particularly from the 40-60 age group, its social media content fails to attract younger audiences, especially millennials, who seek unique and authentic culinary experiences. This study suggests that Rarampa's social media content, which mainly focuses on event photography and the restaurant's ambiance, is ineffective in capturing the attention of younger audiences. Therefore, the use of illustrations and motion graphics is proposed to create more dynamic and appealing visual content. By incorporating semi-cartoon illustration styles and motion graphic elements, Rarampa can build a stronger visual identity, engage younger audiences, and increase interaction on social media. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study are expected to provide insights on how to optimize the use of motion graphics to attract younger audiences and enhance the visual appeal of Rarampa Resto and Bar's social media.

Abstract

Batik Belanda merupakan salah satu produk batik pesisir yang berkembang di pesisir utara Jawa, seperti Pekalongan, pada akhir abad ke-19 hingga awal abad ke-20, dan umumnya dikaitkan dengan estetika feminin serta selera kolonial kelas menengah. Namun, keberadaan Batik Belanda bermotif militer menunjukkan makna visual yang lebih kompleks dan belum banyak dibahas. Artikel ini bertujuan mengkaji makna visual figur prajurit, kapal perang, dan mesin transportasi militer dalam Batik Belanda, serta bagaimana simbol-simbol tersebut dinegosiasikan dalam konteks produksi dan konsumsi kolonial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-interpretatif dengan metode observasi visual terhadap artefak batik di Museum Batik Pekalongan, Museum Batik Indonesia, Museum Danar Hadi Solo, dan Museum Tekstil Jakarta, serta didukung oleh studi pustaka dan analisis ragam hias. Pembahasan difokuskan pada pola repetisi, keteraturan visual, pembagian kepala dan badan batik, serta hubungan motif dengan fungsi kain sebagai objek pakai. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa simbol militer tidak ditampilkan melalui narasi konflik atau heroisme, melainkan sebagai citra yang tertata, berulang, dan bersifat dekoratif. Repetisi dan ragam hias berperan dalam menormalkan kehadiran kekuasaan kolonial sebagai bagian dari pengalaman visual sehari-hari. Kekerasan dan daya rusak mesin perang disamarkan melalui stilisasi, siluet, dan integrasi dengan motif flora. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa Batik Belanda bermotif militer berfungsi sebagai medium negosiasi visual antara produksi, pasar, dan selera kolonial, serta sebagai arsip visual yang merekam kehadiran kekuasaan secara halus dan tidak secara konfrontatif. Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memperkaya pembacaan Batik Belanda sebagai artefak estetis yang memuat praktik budaya.
