Abstract

The possibility of tradition collaborating with dance, music and performance art is an amazing art. However, it becomes problematic if the space to perform one of the parts of tradition, namely dance as an art or work in certain regions or localities, is still minimal. Either from the history of dances from certain regions, for example Central Kalimantan, especially the Ma'anyan Dayak community, or the method of usage or meaningful values in the form of ribut rukun, togetherness, care and exploration space. This research method uses a literature review that examines the results of previous studies as secondary sources, online media, and accompanying photos of dances originating from Central Kalimantan. The findings show that the Dayak Giring-Giring dance, Manganjan Dance and Tambun Bungai Dance have a variety of cultural richness, the meaning of friendship, as well as a rich history that must get space from generation to generation to the global community as a cultured, dignified, valuable and communal dance.

Abstract

The problem in this research is the lack of research that shows traditional musical instruments in Central Kalimantan in the form of visualization (images) and elaboration with culture, maintenance space and also religion, which is basically applicable and useful for the maintenance of property, culture, philosophical values contained therein. This research method is qualitative research with data search through visualization of images or camera shots of the authors directly to the source of traditional musical instruments in Palangka Raya. The results show that diversity, Indonesianness through gotong royong, instrument maintenance, culture and religion are inextricably intertwined as a space for diversity and religiosity and at the same time as a further elaborative space to explore musical instruments with something that enriches art.

Abstract

This research investigates how local identity is represented in mural artworks created by urban communities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study methodology, the study examines murals from three locations Kampung Code, Jl. Tirtodipuran, and Sayidan employing visual semiotics and thematic analysis. Findings reveal that these murals utilize traditional symbols such as wayang, batik patterns, and agrarian motifs to assert cultural continuity and communal values. The murals in Kampung Code emphasize resistance through traditional iconography, while those in Jl. Tirtodipuran depict everyday rural life, reinforcing social bonds. In Sayidan, a hybrid aesthetic emerges as young artists integrate traditional elements with contemporary street art, expressing fluid and pluralistic urban identities. The research illustrates that murals in Yogyakarta are not merely decorative but serve as powerful mediums for cultural negotiation, identity formation, and community engagement. Through public art, communities assert their presence and preserve their heritage in the face of urban change. The study contributes to interdisciplinary discussions in urban studies, visual culture, and cultural geography by offering empirical evidence on how community-based murals articulate identity, resist gentrification, and sustain cultural heritage in Yogyakarta’s evolving urban landscape.

Abstract

This study investigates the digital transformation of Tari Piring, a traditional Minangkabau plate dance, as it is reinterpreted in contemporary YouTube performances. The research applies visual semiotic analysis and the frameworks of cultural hybridity and mediatization to examine how traditional symbols and values are preserved, modified, or reimagined in digital formats. Three case studies student and community performances recorded between 2020 and 2024 reveal a consistent pattern of visual innovation: traditional props and movements are retained but recontextualized through EDM remixes, neon costumes, and camera-enhanced choreography. Using thematic coding and interpretive analysis, the study identifies key dynamics in these transformations: preservation of iconic symbols, adaptation to digital visual aesthetics, and repositioning of dance as a public, performative commodity. The findings suggest that digital platforms not only mediate cultural expression but actively reshape it, encouraging younger performers to use Tari Piring as a space for identity negotiation and creative experimentation. While these adaptations offer opportunities for cultural revitalization, they also risk aestheticizing tradition in ways that prioritize spectacle over substance. The research concludes that Tari Piring in the digital era exemplifies a hybrid cultural form both rooted and reinvented underscoring the need for critical engagement with heritage in digital performance landscapes.

Abstract

Globalization has reshaped cultural consumption among youth, particularly in urban centers where traditional music struggles to maintain relevance. This study investigates how globalization affects adolescents' perceptions and engagement with traditional songs in Makassar, Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved ten youth participants aged 15 to 19 and employed interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate a dominant preference for global music genres such as K pop and Western pop, shaped largely by exposure through platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Traditional songs were minimally recognized and often regarded as outdated. However, youth expressed willingness to re-engage with traditional music if presented through modern digital formats. The study highlights the breakdown of intergenerational cultural transmission and the limited role of schools and families in cultural education. Nonetheless, digital media and participatory culture present viable strategies for revitalizing traditional music. By promoting hybrid musical forms, community based initiatives, and educational reforms, traditional music can be repositioned as a dynamic component of youth identity. The study contributes to cultural sustainability discourse, offering actionable insights for policy and practice in preserving musical heritage in urban, globalized contexts.

Abstract

Music is a fundamental cultural practice that extends beyond entertainment to shape identity, education, and social justice. This narrative review aims to synthesize contemporary scholarship addressing how music functions as a tool for personal and collective identity construction, pedagogical transformation, and sociocultural engagement. A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as “music education,” “music and identity,” “cultural influence of music,” “critical pedagogy in music,” and “music and social justice.” Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed studies published in the last two decades that demonstrated methodological transparency and thematic relevance. The results indicate that music significantly influences identity formation, with empirical evidence showing measurable effects on racial and cultural perceptions among youth, while qualitative studies emphasize the role of pedagogies that foster autonomy and social awareness. Comparative studies highlight the universality of music’s identity-shaping role while also underscoring variations across cultural and geographic contexts. Discussion reveals that systemic factors—including inequitable access, exclusionary curricula, and limited representation—pose challenges to realizing music’s full potential. Inclusive pedagogical strategies and policy reforms are identified as promising pathways to address these barriers, though their effectiveness requires further empirical validation. The review concludes that music is both a cultural and educational resource with profound implications for fostering equity and inclusion. Future research should adopt multi-methodological designs, expand to non-Western contexts, and investigate digital influences on music consumption and identity. These directions are essential for advancing music’s role in education and social justice.

Abstract

This narrative review explores the determinants of musical expressivity in performance, focusing on attentional focus, accompaniment quality, and mindfulness-based strategies as critical factors influencing perception and evaluation. The study aimed to synthesize empirical findings across music psychology, pedagogy, and performance studies to develop an integrative understanding of expressivity. Literature was collected systematically through Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using targeted keyword combinations and applying rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review incorporated diverse methodologies, including experimental, cohort, and case study designs, to capture the multidimensional nature of expressivity.Results revealed that attentional focus significantly shapes audience evaluations, demonstrating that perception is mediated by cognitive framing and cultural orientation. Accompaniment quality was shown to enhance interpretive cohesion, emphasizing the relational dimension of performance. Additionally, mindfulness practices improved expressive depth by helping musicians manage stress and sustain emotional engagement, yielding benefits for both performers and audiences. Discussion highlighted systemic barriers such as narrow pedagogical frameworks and biased evaluative practices that undermine expressive development. Potential solutions include embedding mindfulness programs, fostering collaborative rehearsal strategies, and integrating attentional framing into curricula. The findings affirm the urgency of reconceptualizing expressivity as a central component of music education and performance evaluation. Future research should expand beyond Western classical contexts, adopt multimodal approaches, and address structural barriers to expressive development. By advancing these perspectives, this review contributes to a holistic understanding of musical expressivity and its vital role in creating meaningful and resonant performance experiences.
