<![CDATA[Saman Dance, a cultural heritage from Aceh that has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, is a unique manifestation of local wisdom and Islamic values inherent in the Gayo community. This article examines the beauty of the movements and the deep meanings contained in Saman Dance, as well as its role in preserving Aceh's cultural identity. Through an ethnographic approach and semiotic analysis, this research explores the historical origins, choreographic structure, and symbolism of Saman Dance movements. The results show that every movement in Saman Dance has a philosophical meaning that is closely related to the teachings of Islam and the social values of Gayo society. The speed, uniformity, and complexity of the movements not only reflect aesthetic beauty, but also symbolize unity, discipline, and harmony in social life. Furthermore, the lyrics sung during performances contain profound moral and spiritual messages. This article also discusses the evolution of Saman Dance from a religious ritual to an internationally recognized performing art, as well as the challenges in preserving it in the modern era. In conclusion, Saman Dance is not just an artistic expression, but an important medium in transmitting cultural and spiritual values between generations. A deeper understanding of the meaning behind Saman Dance is expected to increase appreciation and efforts to preserve this cultural heritage.]]>

<![CDATA[Asmat carving is one of Papua's cultural heritages that is rich in meaning and philosophical value. This article aims to explore and analyze the symbols and philosophies contained in Papuan wooden sculptures, especially Asmat carved artworks. Through an ethnographic approach and semiotic analysis, this research explores the meaning behind the motifs, forms, and techniques of making Asmat wooden sculptures. Data were obtained through direct observation, in-depth interviews with Asmat carvers, and study of related literature. The results show that Asmat wooden sculptures not only function as aesthetic artifacts, but also as a medium to represent the cosmology, spirituality and social values of the Asmat people. Motifs such as ancestors, totem animals and natural elements reflect the close relationship between Asmat people and the natural and spiritual world. Intricate carving techniques and the use of natural materials reflect local wisdom in utilizing natural resources sustainably. Furthermore, the sculpture-making process, which involves certain rituals and taboos, reveals the sacred dimension of this carving art. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of Papua's rich culture and the importance of preserving traditional arts in the context of modernization. The findings also highlight the potential of Asmat carving as a source of inspiration for the development of contemporary art and local wisdom-based creative industries.]]>

<![CDATA[This article explores the rich culture of the archipelago through an exploration of local wisdom and traditional art aesthetics. The cultural diversity of the archipelago, spanning thousands of islands with diverse communities, offers an in-depth look at the values of local wisdom reflected in traditional arts. Traditional arts in the archipelago are not only a form of artistic expression, but also an important means of maintaining and celebrating the unique cultural identity of each region. In this study, we identify some key aspects of local wisdom reflected in the Nusantara's traditional arts, including moral, spiritual, and social values that are passed down through generations. Traditional arts such as shadow puppetry, dance, carving, and textiles, not only contain symbolic meanings, but also illustrate the distinctive aesthetic beauty of each local community. Our in-depth analysis highlights the important role of traditional arts in enriching cultural identity and promoting diversity in the Nusantara society. We argue that the preservation of traditional arts is not only about maintaining cultural heritage, but also about evoking a sense of national pride and identity. Through this approach, this article seeks to broaden the understanding of the Nusantara's cultural diversity and appreciate the contribution of traditional arts in realizing unity in diversity.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the role of emojis in building personal communication in long-distance romantic relationships. In the digital era, emojis have evolved from mere message decorations to important elements in digital communication, especially in the context of long-distance romantic relationships. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type, this study involved 100 student respondents from various universities who were in long-distance relationships. Data collection was carried out through structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and digital conversation analysis. The results showed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.72) between emoji use and improved communication quality, with 78% of respondents consistently using emojis in their daily conversations. Facial expression emojis dominated use (85%), followed by heart and love symbol emojis (72%). A total of 76% of respondents reported increased message clarity, 68% experienced a decrease in communication misunderstandings, and 82% felt an increase in the effectiveness of emotional communication. Digital literacy had a significant positive correlation (r = 0.64) with the effectiveness of emoji use. The main challenges identified included differences in emoji interpretation (45%), dependence on internet connection (38%), and difficulty expressing complex emotions (32%). This research makes a significant contribution to understanding the role of emojis as a non-verbal communication tool in long-distance romantic relationships and can be the basis for developing more effective communication strategies in the digital era.]]>
