Abstract

This study examines the process of cultural acculturation reflected in the architecture of the Al-Aqsa Menara Kudus Mosque using an art semiotic approach. This mosque is real evidence of the harmony of Hindu, Buddhist, and Islamic cultures in Java during the spread of Islam. Architectural elements such as towers that resemble Hindu-Buddhist temples, lotus flower ornaments, and Islamic calligraphy reflect an inclusive and adaptive blend of cultures. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method based on case studies by combining primary data through direct observation and interviews, as well as secondary data from related literature. Semiotic analysis was carried out to identify the symbolic meaning in the architectural elements of the mosque, with the theoretical approach of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roland Barthes. The results of the study also explain that the Menara Kudus Mosque not only functions as a place of worship, but also as a symbol of cultural identity that emphasizes harmony in diversity. This acculturation process reflects the success of Islam in adapting local traditions without eliminating original cultural values. This study makes an important contribution to understanding cultural integration in architectural art and the preservation of local cultural heritage.

Such an approach enriches the students’ acting experiences within a musical context. Integrating rock music into the performing arts provides a fresh atmosphere that can influence the students’ characteristics and experiences. This study employs an exploratory qualitative method, involving various stakeholders, to analyze the implementation and impact not only to enhance students’ experiences in acting, but also to stimulate creativity by encouraging the analysis of rock music characteristics, which are expressed through drama. This process supports the development of diverse ideas in musical theatre, ultimately contributing to the quality and elements of school-based musical performance

Abstract

This study explores the concept of Ethno-Eco-Design as a strategic approach to empower literapreneur start-ups in the screen printing and apparel industry in Semarang. Based on preliminary surveys and related studies, these start-ups face two major challenges in 21st-century entrepreneurship: low ecological awareness in their production and business practices, and limited market segmentation, particularly in reaching millennial consumers. Using a participatory action research method, this study examines how the integration of local cultural elements (ethno-design) with environmentally friendly design practices (eco-design) can enhance the sustainability and market relevance of these start-ups. As a result, a design framework was developed that not only supports green entrepreneurship (ecopreneurship) but also expands the literacy and creative capacity of young business actors in a competitive and environmentally conscious market.
