Visual Communication Design Street Art.
Wiraraja University reaffirms its role in fostering student creativity through the art and design event titled 'DKV Street Art,' which was officially opened by the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni on December 19, 2024. The event, held at the Ki Hajar Dewantara Building in Kolor, Sumenep, showcased various artworks and designs from students of the Visual Communication Design (DKV) Study Program at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Political Science (FISIP).
This event served as a platform for DKV students to display their creativity. The highlight of the exhibition was the branding works created by students, which have been utilized by several Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) in Sumenep Regency.
Several UMKM that benefited from the collaboration with DKV lecturers and students include Kejora Store, Genori Clothing, Genori Accessories, Purnama Studio, Roti Kaliange, Arabela Cake and Bakery, and Airy Laundry. This collaboration demonstrates the tangible contributions of DKV students in helping UMKM develop their visual identities.
In his remarks, the Vice Rector expressed appreciation for the achievements of DKV students and lecturers, who have made a direct impact on the community.
�One of the key performance indicators of higher education is the work of lecturers and students that is utilized by the community. This is an excellent achievement, and I hope this continues to improve with other design works,� he stated.
More than just an art exhibition, 'DKV Street Art' serves as a platform that illustrates how art and design can collaborate with the business world, particularly in the UMKM sector. Through this event, Wiraraja University hopes to inspire other students to continue creating and making tangible contributions to society.
This event also serves as evidence that art and design have significant potential to support local economic growth, especially through the development of UMKM branding. With this success, Wiraraja University further solidifies its role as a higher education institution that not only produces competitive graduates but also positively impacts the surrounding community.
