BOGOR (1 June 2021) - The Ministry of Social
Affairs through Ciungwanara Bogor Center continues to develop entrepreneurship
and vocational training for former beneficiaries and develop media that can
facilitate the promotion of the work of beneficiaries in an inclusive area. Following
the direction of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia
Tri Rismaharini, Ciungwanara Center continues to strive to realize the ATENSI Creation
Center (SKA).
Art Therapy is one of the
flagship programs in the ATENSI Creation Center at Ciungwanara Center. Art
Therapy is believed to be able to help someone explore themselves so that it is
hoped that later it will help that person in dealing with the problems they
face.
Commonly used techniques
such as drawing, painting, coloring, sculpting, making collages, singing or
dancing.
While working on a work
of art, we analyze what has been done and how we feel about the work. Through
art, we can see the inner conflict that is experienced so that it affects
thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
The mural technique is
one part of Art Therapy which is highlighted by Ciungwanara Center.
Along the walls of the
CIWA Cafe's ATENSI Creation Center is filled with mural paintings with
environmental themes (floral). This theme was appointed following the
expectations of the Head of Ciungwanara Center, Siti Sari Rumayanti, who stated
that this theme aims to provide a fresh, beautiful, and soft natural feel so
that visitors, as well as beneficiaries who are in the CIWA Cafe environment,
can feel relaxed, reduce pressure from various aspects of life.
"Our hope is that
every visitor can feel peace and happiness so that they will return from Cafe
CIWA with a happy heart," said Sari.
In addition to being
filled with mural paintings, one spot on the walls of Cafe CIWA is filled with
various handprints of beneficiaries and employees. They are given the freedom
to express themselves by choosing paint colors according to their mood.
