Abstract

The emergence of Sidowarno Wayang Tourism Village indicates a significant transformation in the traditional art of wayang kulit (shadow puppetry). Wayang artisans in Sidowarno offer wayang kulit as an educational process packaged within a tourism village. However, as they adapt to the needs of others, the values embedded in wayang kulit undergo changes. This article addresses several questions, including: how do the roles of wayang kulit artisans in Butuh Village, Sidowarno contribute to the development of the wayang tourism village? How does the presence of other actors shape and transform the values of wayang kulit? Furthermore, how does the tourism industry influence changes in the values of wayang kulit in Sidowarno Wayang Tourism Village? The ambiguous measurement of artistic value can be examined through Arjo Klamer’s concept of the valorization of art. Through patchwork ethnography, I explore the dynamics of wayang artisans in Sidowarno in realizing artistic, economic, and social values in wayang kulit. The positioning of wayang kulit as a cultural commodity through the creation of miniature wayang for tourists indicates a shift in the values of wayang kulit influenced by other actors. On the other hand, wayang kulit artisans are able to maintain artistic value and create social value by empowering all components of the community through the development of Sidowarno Wayang Tourism Village. Ultimately, the values of wayang kulit are dynamic, layered, and at times overlapping.

Bahasa Abstract

Kemunculan Desa Wisata Wayang Sidowarno menandakan perubahan signifikan pada kesenian tradisional wayang kulit. Pengrajin wayang di Sidowarno menawarkan wayang kulit sebagai proses edukatif yang dikemas dalam desa wisata. Namun, ketika menyesuaikan kebutuhan liyan, nilai-nilai dalam wayang kulit mengalami perubahan. Tulisan ini lantas menjawab beberapa pertanyaan, di antaranya bagaimana peran pengrajin wayang kulit di Desa Butuh, Sidowarno dalam membangun desa wisata wayang? Bagaimana kehadiran aktor-aktor lain turut membentuk dan mengubah nilai wayang kulit? Selanjutnya, bagaimana pengaruh industri pariwisata terhadap perubahan nilai-nilai wayang kulit di Desa Wisata Wayang Sidowarno? Pengukuran nilai kesenian yang ambigu dapat diuraikan melalui konsep valorisasi kesenian oleh Arjo Klamer. Melalui etnografi tambal sulam, saya mengeksplorasi geliat pengrajin wayang di Sidowarno dalam mewujudkan nilai artistik, nilai ekonomi, dan nilai sosial pada wayang kulit. Penempatan wayang kulit sebagai komoditas budaya melalui kreasi wayang mini untuk wisatawan menunjukkan pergeseran nilai wayang kulit yang dipengaruhi oleh aktor lain. Di sisi lain, pengrajin wayang kulit dapat mempertahankan nilai artistik dan menciptakan nilai sosial ketika memberdayakan seluruh komponen masyarakat melalui pembangunan Desa Wisata Wayang Sidowarno. Pada akhirnya nilai pada wayang kulit bersifat dinamis, berlapis, dan kadang tumpang tindih.
