Abstract

This research explores the symbolic visual language of guardian spirit motifs depicted in the mural of Rumah Betang, located in Jalan Sutoyo, Pontianak, West Kalimantan. The mural features visual representations of ancestral guardian spirits, the hornbill (enggang), and the serpent (Nabau), which are central to Dayak cosmology and spiritual beliefs. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and visual language theory by Primadi Tabrani, the study analyzes the content (wimba), visual strategy (way of wimba), and expression structure of the mural. Field observation and interviews with Dayak cultural actors support the interpretation of visual elements and their symbolic functions. The guardian spirit is positioned at the top to signify spiritual authority; the hornbill at the center represents a divine messenger; and the Nabau at the base reflects foundational protection. Tendrils and spirals serve to connect these figures, symbolizing the cycle of life and balance between natural and spiritual realms. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of how visual art encodes cultural narratives, spiritual structures, and protective symbolism within the Dayak community.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal how drones have entered the language of film, which essentially means how drones can contribute to new vocabulary in cinematography, especially regarding the type of shot in camera angles and framing. This study uses a qualitative approach with a post-phenomenological descriptive analysis method developed by Don Ihde. The data presented are moving image documentation produced by drone technology in twelve documentary films from the Ekspedisi Indonesia Biru series, each lasting approximately 50 minutes. The observation results of the number of drone shots analyzed in this study totaled 193 (one hundred ninety-three). The analysis process was then compared using Bordwell, Thompson, and Mascelli's theory to conceptualize film vocabulary as formal and stylistic techniques used in drone cinematography in the twelve documentary films of Ekspedisi Biru Indonesia. Two important findings were identified based on indicators not found in the basic rules, vocabulary, and cinematographic language practices that have become industry standards. First, two new words were found in the drone camera angle variable: Vertical and Panoramic. Second, in the framing variable based on size and distance, drone cinematography language still refers to cinematographic grammar practices established in a global consensus. The striking difference lies in the height of the camera position, which has become a distinctive visual style of drone cinematography. Further research is needed to develop drone technology to realize new linguistic efforts, particularly from the perspective of camera movement, which challenges the dominance of existing film language. In the future, drone technology will incorporate more advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to enhance real-time camera movement maneuvers and add non-human factors such as energy efficiency, collision avoidance, flight restrictions, and bandwidth improvement.

Abstract

Briak-Briuk Sepanggul (BBS) is a concept of traditional Balinese music that used to be a reference for Penabuh. Today, a generation of young Penabuh no longer use it, likely due to a shift in social interaction from a collective work culture to a more individualistic tendency. In the past, the Penabuh were active in various social activities. This activity strengthens social ties and fosters a spirit of togetherness in music. In contrast, today's generation of Penabuh tends not to engage in such social interactions, so many are unaware of the importance of BBS in music practice. It impacts the decline in performance quality shown because it does not display the dynamics, sound integrity, sound balance, cohesiveness, and cohesiveness of expression characteristic of implementing BBS. This research aims to describe applying the BBS concept in Balinese music as a foothold for building quality music practices based on the value of togetherness. Three Balinese music ensembles that use the BBS concept are the subject of this case study, which gathers data through literature reviews, interviews, and in-depth interpretive analysis. This study demonstrates that the BBS philosophy is based on humanist principles like equality, cooperation, and unity. This value is applied in non-art and artistic activities, which influence each other. Humanist values in non-art activities have been proven to improve art quality, namely Balinese music performances. These findings strengthen the study of the sociology of karawitan and make an important contribution to the development of Balinese karawitan science.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a sensor-based vocational learning module that is appropriate for neurodivergent individuals, such as those with autism, as well as those who are enrolled in the LPK ATC Widyatama Program Desain Grafis. This module integrates sensor-based learning strategies and natural stimulation to increase students' understanding and engagement. Drawing from Ayres' theory of sensor integration, Vygotsky's theory of sociocultural education, and TPACK's work ethics, this module aims to improve cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning. This study employs a qualitative case study methodology based on Design Thinking principles, which helps students understand the learning context. Interviews, artifact analysis, and observation are used to assess the learning process and results. The study's findings indicate that individualized sensory stimulation, such as visual references from movies, television shows, and video games, helps consumers develop ideas into products' graphic design. Among the things that are discussed are individual accommodations and the improvement of the instructional environment. This study offers a starting point for vocational education with recommendations for more comprehensive sensor integration.

Abstract

This paper explores the representation of cross-border and cross-ideological narratives in literary and dramatic works from the Dutch East Indies era. It focuses on five categories: Dutch, Indies, Peranakan-Tionghoa, Balai Pustaka, and non-Balai Pustaka Bumiputera literature. The study aims to: (1) classify these works based on racial and ideological markers; (2) analyze how identity and ideology are represented within each category; and (3) examine how counter-knowledge and resistance to colonial discourse are articulated in the texts. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research involves close reading of texts to identify identity representations, gathering contextual data on authorship, and analyzing ideological patterns across categories. Findings reveal that Dutch and Indies authors often construct Native characters through a Western, objectifying lens, reinforcing colonial hierarchies. In contrast, non-Balai Pustaka Bumiputera writers frequently resist these narratives, offering critical perspectives on racism and colonial subjectivity through localized, spiritual, and humanistic views. The study further identifies how Western literary discourse relegates Native works to the “Batjaan Liar” (wild reading) category, while Eastern narratives challenge imperialist classifications. While authorial ideology often aligns with racial or institutional affiliation, some texts reveal ideological divergence. Ultimately, this research contributes a decolonial perspective that critiques Western modernity’s portrayal of the Native, going beyond conventional postcolonial approaches that focus primarily on colonial impact. It emphasizes the importance of Indigenous resistance and epistemology in shaping literary discourse during the colonial period.

Abstract

The erosion of traditional snack culture, especially among children, underscores the need for innovative educational tools to foster cultural awareness. This study aims to design an educational board game concept to introduce traditional Indonesian snack culture to children aged 4–6, targeting their developmental stage where cognitive and social skills are rapidly forming, supported by Piaget's cognitive development theory. A preliminary study and data collection were conducted at RA Kuttab Labib Bandung through observation and interviews to determine children's needs in cultural learning and the types of educational toys that are preferred and considered adequate for children. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis by literature studies on culture, educational toys, child anthropometry, and ergonomics. The data produced is the initial capital to design a board game with a design thinking approach that can encourage researcher innovation, but it is still based on user needs. This study contributes to the development of culturally focused learning media by providing innovative and concrete toy designs that combine traditional culinary elements with the potential to be implemented in early childhood environments to support cultural preservation and education.

Abstract

The strategy of developing creative industries based on local wisdom is a means that can be adapted in the era of technological development. This effort can be done by analyzing the in-depth part of cultural products such as batik. The existence of batik, which not only covers the world of art, culture but also industry, can be utilized as a basis for building strategies. Exploring the strategy of strengthening local wisdom-based creative industries is obtained through the process of studying Jombangan Batik in East Java using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques in the form of observation and interviews were conducted at CV. Chariesma Batik Sejahtera is a batik production site in Jombang Regency. Data mining is also strengthened through literature review techniques with aligned topics. It was found that the strategy of using local wisdom in CV. Chariesma Batik Sejahtera utilizes local wisdom in the pre-production stage to produce sales. This can be a foundation or model to be applied in other creative industries. The utilization of local wisdom as a source of ideas in making products, ranging from materials, naming, values, and visuals. The manufacturing process can also include local wisdom, such as the value of protecting the environment and improving work skills. Thus, this strategy can be implemented and become an inspiration for other creative industries in incorporating elements and values from local wisdom.

Abstract

This research investigates Rabam Jawa (ระบำชวา) as a case to show a complex case of cultural representation blending Java and Thai culture. It is not just a replication of Javanese dance, but such an act of cultural appropriation and aesthetic transformation where a Thai mode of Javanese-imaginary is constructed. The study integrates Maruska Svasek’s theory of cultural transit and Julie Sander’s concept of appropriation that employs a qualitative and interpretive analysis. Through Svasek and Sanders, this research analyzes how cultural product is not just transferred into another style, but actively recreated, which enriches the aesthetic paradigm of cross-cultural identity. The primary fieldwork was started in 2016 through interviews with senior dancers and a Thai national artist, and focus group discussions with teachers from Lopburi, Angtong, and Suphanburi College of Dramatic Art. This data was supplemented by ongoing choreographic observation and literature studies. The findings reveal the aesthetic domestication of Javanese performing elements (movement, music, and costume), mixed and transformed into Thai performance. This research contributes to transcultural performance studies by showing how Thai culture appropriates and styles foreign elements.

Abstract

“Satu Darah Juang” is a photography zine work produced through artistic practice based on research, or commonly called practice-led research, which explores religious and cultural values in the family of Petrus Mailoa (the author's grandfather), who lives in Ambon City, Maluku. Based on a collection of family photo archives, this zine reconstructs collective memory and local spirituality through a process of selecting photo archives, recalling conversations with Opa Petu, Oma Bo, Mama Nel, Aunt Poppy, and Aunt Noor, sequencing stages, digital collage, to creating illustrations analogously. This process produces a photo narrative that is effective, visual, and historical, and creates a dialogue between the personal realm and communal culture. The practice-led approach functions to integrate visual experience with the concept of visual communication (the concept of punctum Barthes), cultural psychoanalysis (Freud & Lacan), and visual anthropology. This work is a visual artifact, has the function of being a medium for introspection, a space for dialogue between the private and the public, and then becomes a form of expression beyond the limitations of conventional documentary photography. “Satu Darah Juang” has gone through exhibition curation and audience interaction; this process is the answer that there is potential for cultural communication and social reflection. Therefore, this research provides a clear affirmation of the position of art practice as a valid research method to record, transform, and then inherit cultural values through an interdisciplinary approach.

Abstract

This study investigates how the guardian figures in Chinese temples across Bali visually represent cultural hybridity between Chinese religious traditions and Balinese symbolic aesthetics. Using a descriptive-interpretive qualitative approach based on the idea of visual rhetoric, this study examines seven temples across Balinese regencies. Photographic documentation and ethnographic interviews with temple representatives and craftsmen were conducted to collect data. In this sense, photography is a documentation tool, yet also a visual analysis method, providing a deeper interpretation of cultural negotiation. This study shows that while the guardian figures within the Chinese temples in Bali retain core Chinese iconographic elements, such as mythological animals and heroic deities, they also adopt Balinese traditional ornaments. Due to influenced by the both Chinese and Balinese heritage of the Chinese-Balinese community, these visual adaptations demonstrate a conscious integration of Balinese cultural identity within Chinese sacred forms. In this sense, guardian figures play a significant role as visual intermediaries within sacred spaces, representing both protective symbolism and the spatial hierarchy of the temple’s design. Ultimately, this study contributes to the understanding of transcultural religious design and provides insights into the role of visual culture as a medium of spiritual expression and the construction of hybrid identity within a multicultural urban environment.
