Abstract

History is an integral part of the life journey and the civilization of human being. The historical figures can inspire, motivate, and be a good example. The information about Ratu Kalinyamat, for example, has spread among people. Record of accomplishment of Ratu Kalinyamat is very crucial to Jeparanese, the pioneer of oceanic city and history of her popularity as part of Nusantara’s heritage can be a motivation. The rites are the integral part of the important figures and the ruler’s acts in case of running executive power of government, in addition to aggression on Malaka against Portuguese imperialism, Ratu Kalinyamat previously held rites, such as self-isolation and self-cleansing, the traces of which can be found as it has been existing in Donorojo Jepara. Along the way, the two are the rites held by the recent generation in different concept and purposes from the true ones of Ratu Kalinyamat. The created artworks contain the social criticisms, good message, and symbolic wisdom that the rites should put back into its initial functions and meaning. In field study, I holistically studied the two rites as well as studied the history of Ratu Kalinyamat, and then I made batik motives visualized into batik works, in type of panel that featured aesthetic and jarik or the one prioritizing functional aspects.
