Abstract

Contemporary batik design research has extensively addressed the preservation of traditional motifs, the transformation of regional icons, and the utilization of digital technologies. However, studies that specifically translate the religious architectural elements of the Great Mosque of Gresik into batik scarf designs remain limited, particularly those that integrate reflections on creative practice, structured evaluation, and prototype realization. This study aims to develop the Agung Prasaja batik scarf design based on the architecture of the Great Mosque of Gresik and to elucidate its contribution to culture based textile design. The method employed is Practice led Research, supported by descriptive quantitative evaluation. The research stages include visual context exploration, architectural element mapping, motif stylization, digital composition development at 160 × 35 cm, design evaluation, and the realization of three selected batik tulis (hand-drawn batik) scarf prototypes. The evaluation instrument utilized a 1–5 scale with 11 indicators grouped into the aspects of aesthetics, symbolic cultural legibility, application potential, and user appeal. The evaluation involved 30 informed design assessors/users. The findings produced eight primary motif units and ten design alternatives. The three designs prioritized for batik tulis scarf prototype realization were Agung Prasaja 5, Agung Prasaja 4, and Agung Prasaja8. The findings indicate that design strength is determined not solely by the beauty of motifs but also by visual hierarchy, the legibility of architectural symbols, and suitability for the scarf format. The contribution of this research lies in offering a measurable, reflective, and applicable model for transforming local religious architecture into contemporary textile design, thereby supporting the development of Gresik batik products.

Abstract

Research on contemporary gamelan has primarily focused on the musical outcomes of intercultural collaboration, while the artistic negotiation processes underlying hybrid musicality remain insufficiently explored. This study investigates the intercultural collaboration in the Topeng Masquerade project by Ensemble Kyai Fatahillah, focusing on the composition Meeting in The Kitchen, which brought together Indonesian gamelan musicians and the Dutch ensemble Black Pencil. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation analysis. The findings indicate that musical hybridity emerged through negotiations involving laras, tuning systems, rhythmic structures, and patterns of musical interaction. These processes were realized through the application of multilaras, the use of a micro tuning system, the development of call and response patterns between gamelan and Western instruments, changing time signatures, and adjustments between strict tempo practices and the more flexible temporal approach of the Sundanese tradition. The study shows that the collaboration functioned not as cultural fusion but as a dialogic process that preserved the identities of both traditions while generating a hybrid musical form. It concludes that contemporary gamelan can serve as a space for intercultural exchange, fostering new musical identities through collaborative creativity and cultural interaction.

Abstract

This study examines how Ambara's Wiji Thukul: Planting Words poster represents and supports the mediation of political memory through visual activism in post New Order Indonesia. Previous studies of Indonesian action posters have primarily focused on symbolism, visual rhetoric, and political messaging, while giving limited attention to how activist posters mediate historical memory through their visual form. Using a qualitative case study design and a Ricoeurian hermeneutic approach, the study analyses the poster alongside historical documents, artist statements, and literature on Indonesian political activism. The findings show that political memory is mediated through a recurring visual structure centred on the figure of Wiji Thukul, stencil aesthetics, resistance-oriented textual fragments, agricultural imagery, and a red–black color palette. These elements organize narratives of disappearance, state violence, democratic resistance, and social justice into a coherent visual framework. The study demonstrates that activist posters function not only as commemorative artefacts but also as mnemonic media that represent historical experience and support the circulation of political memory within contemporary Indonesian political culture.

Abstract

An analysis of its developmental dynamics over time. The research aims to trace the historical existence of jumputanfabric and investigate its development across different historical periods, ranging from the Srivijaya era and the Palembang Sultanate to the contemporary period. The novelty of this study lies in its effort to systematically explore the historical trajectory and developmental dynamics of Palembang jumputan fabric, thereby revealing not only its origins and evolution but also the transformation of its functions, motifs, techniques, and cultural meanings amid social changes in Palembang society. The theoretical contribution of this research is the strengthening of historical and cultural heritage studies through an analysis of the development of Palembang jumputan fabric as a cultural artifact that reflects historical values and the continuity of cultural identity in the face of changing times. This research employs a qualitative method with a historical approach through literature review, document analysis, interviews, and the interpretation of other relevant sources. The research was conducted at the Bumiayu Temple Site in Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir (PALI) Regency, South Sumatra, the Balaputradewa Museum, the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum, and the Tuan Kentang Weaving Village in Palembang. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data identification, data reduction, data analysis, and synthesis. The findings reveal that visual representations resembling jumputan fabric can be identified on the statues of deities and Shiva located at the Bumiayu Temple Site in PALI Regency, South Sumatra. Furthermore, the results demonstrate significant developmental dynamics of Palembang jumputan fabric in terms of technical innovation, motif forms and patterns, as well as its artistic, aesthetic, and functional values. The study concludes that Palembang jumputan fabric reflects an ongoing process of cultural negotiation between tradition and modernity while simultaneously serving as an important medium for preserving cultural identity in the midst of globalization.

Abstract

The primary objective of higher education is to develop students’ transversal skills through critical thinking and analytical reflection. The purpose of this study is to illustrate how lecturers use the dialectical technique named battle discussion to help students strengthen their critical thinking skills. A mixed method was used to conduct the study. Thirty students were chosen randomly from courses in Nusantara Fine Arts History as quantitative data. Throughout the learning process, structured field records were used to collect qualitative data. Field notes were used to analyse qualitative data, whereas descriptive and percentage analysis were employed for quantitative data. The study's findings demonstrated that the battle discussion method improved students' critical thinking skills, increased their mastery of the subject, and increased their engagement in class. The overall mean score for group engagement in the Battle Discussion was 5.25 out of 7.00 (75% involvement), which generally falls into the High involvement category. However, a deeper examination of the data reveals a high standard deviation (SD = 2.01), indicating significant data heterogeneity and a noticeable disparity in participation across the ten groups. These findings prove that the battle discussion method can be used as an alternative to enhance students' ability to think critically, and in the future, more comprehensive development is needed on aspects that can be transformed from theory to practice.

Abstract

Visual art activities in Medan City, Indonesia, have a long-standing history, yet over the past decade, the ecosystem has experienced a significant decline, indicated by decreasing artist participation, a lack of periodic exhibitions, and underutilized infrastructure. Previous studies have primarily focused on the creative aspects of local cultural identity, leaving a critical research gap regarding the socio-institutional factors and policy frameworks required to sustain the arts ecosystem. This study employs a mixed methods descriptive-qualitative approach to formulate an evidence based development model and policy concept for Medan. Data were collected through observations, surveys of 36 practitioners, and in-depth interviews with 12 key stakeholders. Empirical findings reveal a severe coordination gap among artists, public appreciators, and local government, as well as a lack of physical and digital infrastructure. To address this, we propose an Integrated Socio-Institutional Model that synergizes the domains of creation, presentation, and art research. The novelty of this research lies in shifting the focus from isolated artistic production to a comprehensive, interconnected ecosystem approach that includes digital integration (NFTs). The theoretical contribution expands the sociology of art by embedding municipal policy frameworks, while the practical contribution provides a hierarchical policy blueprint (prioritizing the establishment of a coordinating body and the revitalization of creative centers) to enhance the sustainability and economic impact of Medan's visual arts scene.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited research on how local wisdom can be systematically translated into rural visual identity systems. It aims to identify the local wisdom values of Brumbung Village and articulate them into a logo-based visual identity. The novelty lies in adapting the ADDIE framework as a cultural-interpretive design model for transforming historical, social, and agrarian values into visual communication elements. Using a qualitative design-based approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, documentation, and validation sessions with village officials, cultural experts, and community representatives. Data were analyzed through thematic coding, symbolic interpretation, and visual translation. The resulting logo integrates symbols of protection, continuity, water, and community solidarity. Evaluation with 44 respondents indicates that the logo is perceived as culturally relevant and representative of Brumbung Village. This study contributes to visual identity, visual semiotics, and place identity research by offering a systematic framework for translating local wisdom into visual communication.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of the coastal plant papaceda (Scaevola taccada) into the aerophone instrument SUKABACA in Maluku, Indonesia, as an organological process based on local material. While traditional organology has focused on the classification and structural aspects of musical instruments, this research proposes a relational perspective that considers the interaction between material, structure, and musical practice. This study employs a qualitative approach with a practice-based research orientation, integrating instrument-making processes with acoustic analysis and performance evaluation. Data were collected through field observation, interviews, documentation, and organological experimentation, including material selection, instrument construction, and acoustic testing using a digital tuner. The findings show that the acoustic characteristics of SUKABACA are not solely determined by its structural configuration but are significantly influenced by the ecological properties of papaceda material and the performer’s technique. The non-homogeneous structure of the material contributes to variable pitch stability and timbral characteristics, indicating that sound production emerges from the interaction between material properties and performative practice. This study contributes to the development of organology by proposing a local material-based approach, positioning material as an active agent in shaping sound and musical innovation. This perspective expands organological studies from classification toward a relational understanding of musical instruments within ecological and cultural contexts.
