BANDUNG, UNIKOM – An ideal traditional market is not merely a place for buying and selling but also a comfortable, safe, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing public space that reflects local cultural identity. For example, the atmosphere of Cijerah Market, located on Jl. Cijerah Girang, Bandung Kulon, Bandung City, West Java, now looks more vibrant and colorful. Through a Community Service (PkM) activity initiated by lecturers and master’s students in the Design of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), they presented mural artworks full of social and cultural messages in the market area that is currently being revitalized.
The PkM program that has been implemented is part of the 2025 Community Empowerment Partnership scheme funded by BIMA Kemdiktisaintek, with the main objective of improving the marketing quality of traders while strengthening the image of traditional markets as a pillar of the people’s economy.
The PkM activity, which was held on August 9 and 10, 2025, involved various parties, including academics, students, and the surrounding community. Dr. Yully, Yully Ambarsih Ekawardhani, M.Sn., as the head of the implementation team, together with the Head of the Master of Design Study Program, Dr. Taufan Hidayatullah, M.Ds., and lecturer of the Graphic Design Study Program, Ivan Kurniawan, M.Ds, who were assisted by the Visual Communication Design (DKV) Student Association of UNIKOM, and the local youth community.
Dr. Yully stated, “The mural we created is not only to decorate the market area, but also contains a message encouraging people to return to shopping at traditional markets. This work is in line with the community empowerment mission carried out by PkM UNIKOM.”
The mural is located at Cijerah Market, Bandung, precisely in the area that is currently being used temporarily during the construction of the new market. The revitalization of the market refers to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 8152:2021 on Traditional Markets, which emphasizes the importance of market management and comfort in the modern era. “This mural symbolizes a new spirit for merchants, depicting the transformation of traditional markets towards a more modern era without losing their cultural and social values,” added Dr. Yully.
The mural concept displayed on the galvanized walls of Cijerah Market, consists of five main parts, each conveying a strong message, including: 1) The history of the market with depictions of sado or horse-drawn carriages as a typical mode of transportation in the past; 2) Children who grew up with traditional markets, depicting the value of intergenerational togetherness; 3) Cart transporting products, symbolizing hard work and economic activity of the people; 4) Women exercising, symbolizing a healthy lifestyle and social togetherness; and 5) Merchants welcoming buyers, representing the spirit of service and hospitality of the people’s market.
The mural was created using a systematic method, starting with the design sketch, color guide, and gradual coloring process using gradation techniques and illustrative details. Challenges arose because the mural medium was a corrugated galvanized wall, which required extra precision from the painters. More than just a visual work, the mural at Cijerah Market became a means of social empowerment that encouraged community participation while strengthening the identity of the people’s market as a cultural and economic space.This activity demonstrates how higher education institutions, particularly UNIKOM, can bridge the academic world with the community through a creative design-based approach. The mural is not only an aesthetic symbol but also a representation of the spirit of collaboration and social transformation amid the surge of local economic development. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
