Exploring Symbols In Jakarta Cathedral Through Creative Media Documentation

Abstract

The post-Covid-19 transition period has had a significant impact on the creative industry, where creative industry people are increasingly utilizing digital platforms to promote content to audiences or the general public. This can be used as a medium to provide education and knowledge to audiences or the public about historical heritage buildings in Indonesia, one of which is the Santa Maria Diangkat ke Surga Cathedral Church in Jakarta. Santa Maria Diangkat ke Surga Cathedral Church is one of the historical buildings protected by the Indonesian Government since 1993. This building has many symbols in its interior and exterior that carry different meanings and roles, representing the values of the Catholic religion and culture. This building is a historical heritage that needs to be preserved and protected, requiring the participation of the wider community. Therefore, it is the responsibility of people in the creative industry to provide education to the public through existing digital platforms.
