Abstract

Each region possesses diverse forms of local wisdom that reflect the unique values and identity of its community. Bekonang Village, located in Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java, is recognized for its vibrant and enduring creative industries. These industries span various sectors and have continued to thrive over time, yet they require strategic efforts to reinforce and showcase their cultural significance. One effective strategy to strengthen the identity of Bekonang’s creative industries is by visualizing them through traditional textiles that carry both aesthetic and symbolic meaning. Batik, as a prominent cultural artifact, serves as an ideal medium to portray the local character and heritage of Bekonang Village. This study employs a qualitative research approach with descriptive data analysis. Primary data were collected through interviews and direct field observations, while secondary data were obtained from literature reviews. Both sources of data were analyzed to inspire the creation of batik motifs that represent the creative industries of Bekonang. The study identifies various local industries—such as traditional fashion houses, gamelan instrument craftsmanship, and narimo mask making—as rich sources of visual storytelling. By translating these creative activities into distinctive batik motifs, this research aims to preserve and promote the cultural identity of Bekonang Village. The resulting designs serve not only as artistic expressions but also as cultural narratives that highlight the region’s heritage. Ultimately, this study contributes to the broader effort of sustaining local wisdom through innovative cultural representation in traditional textile art.
