Revitalisasi Dinding Melalui Pembuatan Mural dengan Narasi Sejarah Jamblang, Cirebon

Abstract

Jamblang Chinatown, Cirebon was once known as a trading city during the Dutch colonial period, as a place for buying and selling and stopping by traders from various regions through the river that flows nearby. The river is a means of transportation that brings ships from the interior of Cirebon to the Java Sea, and vice versa.
