RajutKejut Community is a knitted women's community since 2014 carrying out yarn bombings, wrapping large objects in Jakarta's public spaces with knits. Citizens can see, feel and interact sensually so that the work and community become close to the public. People who often raise social problems become a discourse of work following the cultural context of the people of Jakarta. The research question is how the shape of RajutK shock's artworks. The purpose of this study is to find alternative art forms using creative media. This study uses qualitative methods through observation, interviews, literature studies, and document reviews. This analysis uses the Norman Fairclough critical discourse analysis method. The choice of method is to find the RajutK shock art form by searching for the relationship between the micro text and the macro context of society. The conclusion of the research shows that RajutK shock's works are contemporary works of art, art that still explores discourse in the realm of style. Today, RajutK Shock is a combination of installation art, participatory art, knitting craft, pop art and street art.
