Abstract

This narrative review examines the intersections between visual arts and sustainability, focusing on eco-friendly materials, green practices in art education, and community engagement strategies. The study aims to synthesize how visual arts contribute to ecological awareness and sustainable practices, while identifying barriers and opportunities for greater impact. A systematic search was conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using keywords such as “sustainable visual arts,” “eco-friendly art materials,” and “green practices in art education.” Inclusion criteria emphasized peer-reviewed studies published between 2010 and 2024, covering both empirical and theoretical contributions. The results demonstrate that recycled and bio-based materials significantly reduce environmental footprints while inspiring innovative creative practices. Education emerges as a central driver, with sustainability-focused curricula preparing future artists to adopt eco-conscious methods. Community-based art projects further illustrate how participatory practices democratize sustainability discourse and enhance public engagement. Comparative insights reveal disparities between developed and developing countries, shaped by economic resources, institutional support, and policy frameworks. The discussion emphasizes the need for stronger policies, financial support, and interdisciplinary collaborations to overcome systemic barriers. While current literature has made significant strides, gaps remain in cross-cultural analysis and in understanding the behavioral impact of sustainable art on audiences. The findings underscore the importance of visual arts as both aesthetic expression and transformative agent, with urgent implications for policy, education, and future research.

Abstract

The preservation of cultural heritage has become increasingly reliant on Artificial Intelligence and digital technologies, reflecting a global shift toward technology-driven conservation strategies. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from diverse academic sources to examine how AI is being applied to safeguard both tangible and intangible heritage. Literature searches were conducted using Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as “Artificial Intelligence,” “cultural heritage preservation,” “digital archiving,” and “machine learning.” Studies were screened based on inclusion criteria emphasizing empirical research, case studies, and reviews published within the last decade. Results reveal four dominant themes: tangible heritage conservation, intangible heritage preservation, environmental monitoring and risk management, and museum and archive engagement. AI has demonstrated strong potential in artifact restoration, predictive maintenance, and revitalization of traditional practices through immersive technologies. However, systemic barriers, including limited financial resources, fragmented governance, and lack of standardized ethical frameworks, hinder its broader adoption. Ethical challenges, particularly concerning cultural representation, data privacy, and inclusivity, further complicate implementation. Innovative solutions such as public-private partnerships, community-driven digitization, and interdisciplinary collaborations present promising pathways forward. The findings highlight both the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into heritage preservation and emphasize the need for urgent, coordinated strategies to enhance cultural sustainability. This study contributes to the discourse by underscoring the dual imperative of advancing technological adoption while ensuring cultural sensitivity and inclusivity.

Abstract

Karambangan is a traditional vocal genre of the Pamona people in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, blending poetic kayori with guitar based harmonic textures. This study aims to analyze the vocal interpretation strategies employed by Karambangan performers, focusing on the integration of harmony, diction, and vocal affect within cultural and pedagogical contexts. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the research combines ethnographic fieldwork, harmonic transcription, phonetic analysis, and cultural interpretation. Data were collected through audio recordings, kayori texts, and interviews with performers. Harmonic progressions were mapped, vocal timbre and vibrato were measured, and rhetorical features in lyrics were analyzed. Findings reveal that Karambangan vocalists emphasize emotional nuance through vibrato restraint, nasal resonant timbre, and precise prosodic alignment. Harmonic structures often based on three chord cycles and supported by alternate guitar tunings offer a stable platform for expressive delivery. Kayori lines are vocally interpreted through dynamic shaping, rhetorical timing, and culturally informed diction. The study also discusses the pedagogical value of these techniques and the ethical considerations of transitioning the genre from ritual to stage. Karambangan emerges as a genre of artistic and cultural significance, where voice serves not only as a musical tool but also as a moral and spiritual practice. The research contributes a genre specific model for vocal interpretation in indigenous traditions and highlights the importance of culturally embedded music education.

Abstract

This article explores how Indonesian contemporary art reconfigures postmodern aesthetic theory through culturally specific practices and socio political engagement. Drawing from theorists such as Lyotard, Jameson, Baudrillard, Foster, and Bourriaud, the study analyzes how key Indonesian artists including FX Harsono, Agus Suwage, Arahmaiani, Eko Nugroho, and the collective ruangrupa reinterpret postmodern concepts such as pastiche, simulacra, archive, and relational aesthetics. Methodologically, the study applies qualitative content analysis, thematic coding, and curatorial discourse review to examine visual strategies in artworks produced between 1990 and 2025. The findings demonstrate that Indonesian artists do not simply adopt global postmodern aesthetics but transform them through local narratives, political memory, and community based models. Suwage’s ironic appropriations, Harsono’s archival trauma aesthetics, and ruangrupa’s lumbung model all exemplify how postmodernism in Indonesia is hybridized and decolonized. These practices challenge the dominance of Western centric theory by infusing postmodern strategies with Indonesian spiritual, historical, and communal dimensions. As such, the Indonesian context expands the definition of postmodern art, offering a model of aesthetic pluralism that bridges theory and practice. This study contributes to global contemporary art discourse by positioning Indonesian postmodernism as a vital, dialogical, and situated framework. It underscores the need for geographically nuanced readings of aesthetic theory and highlights how artistic practices from the Global South reframe the terms of global engagement.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of singer body movement on ensemble coordination and perceived expressivity in choral performance. Grounded in theories of embodied music cognition and entrainment, the research explores how varying degrees of movement no movement, slight sway, and full body sway affect acoustic precision, synchrony, and audience evaluation. Using a within subject factorial design, 24 university level choir members performed under each movement condition. Data were collected through multi microphone recordings, OpenPose based motion tracking, and blind evaluations by expert and non expert listeners. Acoustic measures included pitch deviation, LTAS, and SPL; movement metrics captured sway amplitude and synchrony; perceptual ratings addressed expressiveness, articulation, and timing. Results indicated that slight sway consistently produced superior outcomes across all domains. Pitch deviation was lowest and movement synchrony highest under this condition. Perceptual ratings were significantly higher in slight sway than in either no movement or full body sway. Excessive movement increased pitch instability and disrupted blend, while also producing inconsistent synchronization. These findings highlight the functional role of calibrated movement in choral performance. Incorporating slight, synchronized motion can enhance ensemble cohesion and elevate audience experience without compromising acoustic integrity. The study offers empirical support for movement integrated pedagogies and suggests broader applications across ensemble types and performance genres.
