Greetings, dear friends how are you?. Thank you StreetArt by @heroldius. Some time ago, I was walking around the Kota Gede Yogyakarta area. A cultural heritage area and a silver craft industry.
The street art community painted murals along residential streets. The themes of the paintings are closely related to the history of the local community. Along the residential streets, I walked while taking picture of the murals.
They tell stories about the history of the community, from culture and economics to the environment and more. And I try to review a little.
The lower class is holding a plate in the hope that someone Will feed them, meanwhile an upper class person in traditional Javanese clothing is carrying food. The difference between the rich and the poor that era.
Wayang is a traditional performing art, including shadow puppets and human puppets. The painter's expression is that of playing with technology.
He conveys the importance of protecting the environment by planting plants.
On two painting planted Walls, people are pushing the Coffin of a deceased person to be taken to the cemetery. Two people in Javanese clothing express the act of lifting a window.
The message conveyed in the painting is that two people are making silver crafts and another is making batik. As a livelihood for the community.
A horse-drawn carriage pulled by cows and horses as a vehicle for transporting goods and people at that time.
The message conveyed is that on village life, buffaloes are used to plow the field and mother's are carrying goods by carrying them.
Javanese people live together to cook, usually there are people having a celebration. The background is a wall Made of woven bamboo.
A painting of a cart used to sell various simple foods, such as rice wrapped with various side dishes, various snacks and a place to boil water. In Yogyakarta it's called Angkringan.
Thank you for sharing the mural.
