Posted by Asia Post a Comment

Sidoarjo - Various color patterns and motifs of shibori batik cloth made by students of SMP Negeri 2 Balongbendo Sidoarjo are on display at the Mpu Tantular Sidoarjo Museum, Thursday (1/12/2022).


The product exhibition with the theme "Senandung Kain Lipat Penuh Warna (Kalipena)" which was held from 1-4 December 2022, at 07.00 - 15.00 WIB also presented various creations ranging from slayer rawis, udheng, chair cushion covers, drawstring bags, tablecloths and placemats tissue, rayon mukenah, to masks with the basic ingredients of shibori batik cloth.

"We call it Kalipena because we have a philosophy that 'time' is something that flows and 'pen' is an idea. So Kalipena means ideas that are always flowing. Because this grows at school, Kalipena said it is suitable," said the accompanying teacher for Textile Craft Extra-curriculars, SMP Negeri 2 Balongbendo Sidoarjo, Mamik Masfufatin, Thursday (1/12/2022).

Not only holding exhibitions, SMP Negeri 2 Balongbendo Sidoarjo also continues to produce and innovate with the aim of exploring the potential and creativity of students as well as cultivating an entrepreneurial spirit as a provision for the future.

The exhibition organizing committee, Sigit Widiyanto, added that the Mpu Tantular Museum was chosen as the location for the exhibition because it is more strategic and better known to the public.


“We are trying to get out of the cage for this exhibition so that we are not like frogs in a shell. Because if it is held outside of schools it can be increasingly recognized and interested in the general public, at the same time this can spark or inspire all schools in Sidoarjo Regency to continue to excel, create and innovate. Hopefully this exhibition will benefit the world of education," said Sigit.

This exhibition received appreciation from the Head of the Sidoarjo Regency Education and Culture Office, Tirto Adi who was also present at the opening of the exhibition with his staff. On this occasion, Tirto was invited together to practice making shibori batik directly on location.
