The Pancasila Student Profile embodies Indonesian students as lifelong learners who have global competence and behave according to the values of Pancasila. The Pancasila Student Profile can be achieved through folk songs. Banjar folk song, as one of the art forms produced from the culture originating from the South Kalimantan region, has an appropriate meaning and can be used to realise the Pancasila Student Profile. The purpose of this research is to analyse the needs of Banjar songs to obtain data and information about: (1) Banjar songs that are relevant to the Pancasila Student Profile; (2) The needs of students in shaping the character of the Pancasila Student Profile through banjar songs; (3) Character values presented in banjar songs. This research was conducted in stages: planning, data collection, reduction, and conclusion drawing. Data analysis used a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that: (1) Banjar songs have values and meanings that are relevant to the character building of Pancasilais students; (2) Students need Banjar songs in growing the character of Pancasilais students; This finding has confirmed that Banjar songs are a product of mass culture, namely works of art produced from the cultural ecosystem. Thus, Banjar songs can be an alternative in shaping the character of Pancasila students; (3) Banjar songs have character values of noble character, global diversity, cooperation, independence, critical and creative reasoning that are relevant to the elements of the Pancasila Student Profile.

Petirtaan Jolotundo is one of two petirtaans (sacred bathing places) on Mount Penanggungan. It is an important archaeological heritage site, known for having the oldest recorded date in the Penanggungan Mountain area—899 Saka or 977 AD. Within the petirtaan is an inscription carved on its eastern wall, visually prominent and written in Old Javanese (Kawi) script, containing the word Gempeng and the number 899. This research aims to uncover Petirtaan Jolotundo's cultural identity through the interpretation of these two inscriptions. The study was conducted at the site of Petirtaan Jolotundo, located in Biting Hamlet, Seloliman Village, Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, East Java Province. This qualitative research adopts a case study approach, focusing specifically on Petirtaan Jolotundo. Data collection techniques include observation, literature review, and interviews. The data analysis method follows an interpretative qualitative approach, applying Norman Fairclough's theory of critical discourse analysis, which comprises three levels: textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. The results of this study show that the inscriptions—Gempeng and 899—serve as cultural markers that reveal the identity of Petirtaan Jolotundo and the Old Javanese community. These inscriptions highlight the community's role in shaping and preserving the site's cultural significance across generations.

The Silek Rantak Kudo Dance, a rich expression of Indonesian folklore and cultural identity—particularly in West Sumatra—requires preservation. To support this effort, a photographic experiment was conducted to explore visual representations capable of conveying the folkloric elements embedded in the dance. Notably, there is a lack of scholarly literature on dance photography in Indonesia, making this study a pioneering contribution to the field. The experiment produced 66 photographs of the Silek Rantak Kudo Dance, with 10% selected for inclusion in a questionnaire aimed at evaluating whether respondents could effectively perceive the folkloric content. This research employed Visual Arts-Based Research Practices, with data collected through a literature review and questionnaires completed by 396 participants. Findings indicate that dance photography of Silek Rantak Kudo should emphasize traditional elements in both movement and visual representation to ensure its recognition as a traditional West Sumatran art form. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that photographic techniques—such as motion photography and posed imagery—can serve as effective tools for promoting and preserving the dance on social media among the Indonesian public.

This study develops a conceptual framework to define a distinguished panembang (vocalist) in Tembang Sunda Cianjuran based on a case study of the PTSC DAMAS competition. Employing a qualitative research design, the study integrates triangulation methods data, techniques, and sources to enhance validity. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 12 key informants (including judges, panembang, and cultural experts), field observations, and document analysis. The analytical framework is based on A.A.M. Djelantik's aesthetic theory and uses Miles and Huberman's interactive model for data analysis. The study identifies five core parameters: Bener (accuracy), Merenah (proportionality), Genah (melodiousness), Alus (artistic refinement), and Mulus (flawless integration), each with context-specific indicators. These findings offer a culturally grounded yet methodologically rigorous model for evaluating performance quality in traditional Sundanese vocal arts. The proposed parameters offer a foundational step toward developing a more objective, transparent, and accountable judging system.

This study examines the management of the National Gallery of Indonesia (Galeri Nasional Indonesia/GNI) in its transition into a Public Service Agency (Badan Layanan Umum/BLU). GNI was selected for this study as a state cultural institution that holds both national and international art exhibitions, potentially playing a role as a benchmark of contemporary Indonesian art. The transformation marks a significant shift towards an entrepreneurial spirit in institutional performance, directly impacting the management of art exhibitions. The study aims to explain and analyze the implementation of the BLU policy in improving GNI’s management while identifying internal and external challenges and opportunities. This study's novelty lies in using two case studies—Lini Natalini Widhiasi: Infinity Yin and Yang (2024) and Arkiv Vilmansa: Semesta Arkiv (2025)—as representations of the BLU implementation in practice. It employs a descriptive qualitative method with the theoretical framework of institutional entrepreneurship. The findings indicate that the BLU policy stimulates GNI to develop a more collaborative, innovative, and entrepreneurship-oriented management, which should be further strengthened through public-private partnership strategies and diversified funding sources.

The revitalization of traditional crafts represents a strategic approach to strengthening Indonesia’s creative economy, which is deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage. This article examines the dynamic interplay between the preservation of traditional values and the pursuit of innovation, aiming to bridge the past and future within the practices of the creative economy. Employing a qualitative approach within an interpretative-critical paradigm, the study investigates the intersection of tradition and innovation. Design Thinking serves as the methodological framework for exploring how sustainable innovation can emerge from local cultural traditions while responding to global market demands. In the initial phase, a practice-based research methodology is utilized to uncover the fundamental values embedded in traditional Indonesian artefacts. Building on these insights, a practice-led research approach is then employed to develop a design model that translates traditional knowledge into applicable strategies for creating innovative works. In this context, practice-based research focuses on the creation of artefacts as a primary method of generating knowledge, while practice-led research emphasizes the development of new theoretical understandings through creative practice. The findings suggest that revitalization efforts grounded in local cultural values can foster a sustainable creative ecosystem, strengthen national identity, and stimulate community-based economic growth. These results underscore the importance of synergy among creative practitioners, government institutions, and local communities in shaping an inclusive and culturally grounded future for Indonesia's creative industries.
