SDG 4 | 4.3.4 Education outreach activities beyond campus

The fabric dyeing technique, which includes stitching, twisting, tying, pinning, and wrapping, is a technique better known as shibori. The basic process needed in making shibori is drawing on the cloth and tying the knot on the material tightly using thread, rubber, or other rope. Then the fabric is dipped in one or more colors. A team of lecturers consisting of a Visual Communication Design Lecturer, Mr. Heppy Jundan Hendrawan, S.Sn, M.Ds, along with students from the Department of Art and Design, came up with an idea to innovate a mixture of Shibori Batik with Augmented Reality (AR) based technology, which is very easy to make. Easy and can create significant economic opportunities and attract the attention of a large audience. This community service activity is expected to shape and develop community capabilities, especially in the field of technology and creative industries, including through training activities and increasing understanding of aspects of marketing, production, and innovation in design. This community service was carried out in Pakisjajar Village, Malang Regency. Pakisjajar Village has located 17 km to the west with a travel time of about 34 minutes from Malang City.
