Abstract

The complexity of environmental problems in Batu City is based on various factors, giving rise to undesirable natural disasters, namely: (1) natural disaster, (2) non-natural disaster and (3) social factors / human (man-made disaster). Therefore, a practical movement that is contextual and concrete is needed to advocate environmental (nature) issues in Batu City. While the method used is descriptive qualitative with a participatory approach. The relationship between art (printmaking), cultural anthropology, environment (nature) and society can be found in the Sapa Aruh which was held at the Raos Gallery followed by other dissemination activities. Remembering Sapa Aruh Art Exhibition can accumulate information, ideas, arguments, and intentions in the form of activities that are easier for the public to understand. So that it can also be projected as a transformation of knowledge, self-criticism of community and government activities in the exploitation of nature.
