Abstract

Art–Science collaboration has emerged as a significant interdisciplinary approach for addressing complex societal challenges, yet the mechanisms through which these partnerships drive responsible and sustainable innovation remain conceptually fragmented. This study develops an integrated conceptual framework explaining how Art–Science collaboration contributes to responsible innovation and sustainable development through collaborative knowledge production, drawing on a systematic literature review (2020–2026) of publications on Art–Science collaboration, SciArt, Research-Creation, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), and sustainability-focused interdisciplinary research, analyzed through narrative synthesis, thematic analysis, and evidence mapping. Seven interconnected mechanisms consistently characterize successful collaboration: problem reframing, imagination of alternative futures, public engagement, ethical anticipation, knowledge translation, material and technological experimentation, and cultural contextualization. Together, these mechanisms foster novel research questions, interdisciplinary knowledge integration, inclusive stakeholder participation, and reflexive governance. Effectiveness is maximized when artists function as epistemic partners throughout the research process rather than science communicators. Key enablers include boundary objects, co-design, shared governance, and long-term institutional support, while tokenism, power asymmetries, methodological fragmentation, and weak evaluation frameworks constrain transformative outcomes. The proposed framework integrates collaboration structures, innovation mechanisms, RRI principles, and six sustainability dimensions — cultural, social, environmental, technological, economic, and institutional. The study concludes that Art–Science collaboration should be reconceptualized as an innovation ecosystem, with responsible and sustainable innovation emerging through iterative, epistemologically diverse, ethically reflective, and participatory collaboration. The framework provides a foundation for future empirical validation, comparative research, and policy development.

Abstract

Participatory arts have been increasingly recognized as an effective approach for promoting community empowerment by engaging local residents as active contributors to artistic creation, cultural governance, and community development. Despite growing implementation of such initiatives in Indonesia, comparative evidence on how community empowerment differs between urban and rural contexts remains limited. This study examines the characteristics, implementation processes, empowerment outcomes, and sustainability of participatory arts programs in urban and rural Indonesia, identifying the contextual factors shaping their effectiveness. A comparative qualitative literature review was conducted using structured focused comparison of secondary data published mainly between 2015–2025, integrating peer-reviewed articles, government publications, and institutional reports. A standardized evidence matrix guided extraction of program characteristics, participation levels, and empowerment outcomes, analyzed through narrative synthesis, thematic analysis, and cross-case comparison within a framework combining Empowerment Theory, Social Capital Theory, Cultural Democracy, Creative Placemaking, and Community Resilience. Findings show urban initiatives benefit from stronger institutional partnerships, diversified funding, and bridging/linking social capital, while rural initiatives demonstrate stronger community ownership, cultural continuity, and bonding social capital. Across both contexts, meaningful participation through co-creation and shared decision-making generated stronger multidimensional empowerment than mere consultation or attendance. Institutional collaboration, participatory governance, and diversified funding support sustainability, while tokenism and power asymmetries remain key challenges. The study concludes that empowerment depends more on participation quality, ownership, and institutional support than geographical location, offering a multidimensional evaluative model for policymakers and practitioners.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is transforming music education across lesson planning, performance assessment, personalized learning, creative music-making, and learning analytics, yet successful implementation depends critically on teachers' preparedness to integrate AI responsibly. This integrative literature review examines AI in music teacher education through research published primarily between 2020–2025, identifying adopted technologies, required competencies, pedagogical and ethical challenges, and proposing a conceptual framework for responsible integration. Synthesizing heterogeneous evidence — empirical studies, conceptual papers, systematic reviews, and policy documents — via PRISMA-guided screening and Whittemore and Knafl's integrative approach with theory-oriented narrative synthesis, findings reveal that generative AI, LLMs, intelligent tutoring systems, learning analytics, computer vision, and automated assessment increasingly support instructional planning and creative composition. Effectiveness, however, depends on teachers critically evaluating outputs while preserving musical creativity. AI literacy, music-specific TPACK, ethical awareness, and institutional readiness emerge as interdependent success factors, amid persistent challenges of algorithmic bias, privacy, and limited empirical evidence. The review proposes the Responsible AI Readiness Framework for Music Teacher Education, positioning AI as a pedagogical and creative partner to guide curriculum design, policy development, and future research.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed music production by reducing dependence on conventional recording studios and expanding opportunities for independent creators. This study comparatively examines conventional studios, home studios, and mobile production systems within the Indonesian context, focusing on technological infrastructure, economic investment, workflow, production quality, distribution, and monetization. A structured comparative review was conducted using peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, government publications, industry reports, and technical literature. The findings indicate that conventional studios remain superior in acoustic control, specialized expertise, multichannel recording, and professional production quality. Home studios have become increasingly dominant among independent musicians due to their affordability, flexibility, creative autonomy, and integration with digital distribution. Mobile production further enhances accessibility, portability, collaboration, and content publication, although technical limitations remain. Digital technologies have democratized music production while shifting greater creative, technical, administrative, and promotional responsibilities to independent creators. Indonesian music production is also increasingly integrated with streaming services, metadata management, online collaboration, and platform-based distribution. However, technological accessibility does not guarantee production quality or commercial success, which depend on competence, infrastructure, education, networks, and platform governance. The study concludes that Indonesia has developed a hybrid production ecosystem in which the three models function as complementary systems and provides a framework for future research, policy, and industry planning.

Abstract

Traditional music in many communities faces increasing erosion as modernisation disrupts intergenerational transmission. In Ghana, this trend has been documented among smaller ethnic groups in the Akwapem region. The Larteh people — an Akwapem community in Ghana's Eastern Region — possess a folk music tradition that remains entirely absent from peer-reviewed scholarship and African piano repertoire, a gap confirmed through searches of Scopus, RILM Abstracts, and AJOL. This study addressed that gap by adapting ten Larteh folktunes from the Ahenease and Kubease communities for solo piano. The ten tunes were selected from twenty collected over six months of fieldwork, based on melodic distinctiveness, rhythmic complexity, and representativeness across six documented social functions. Using creative ethnomusicology as its research design, the study gathered folktunes through semi-structured interviews with thirteen participants — eight elder musicians, three community elders, and two music teachers — alongside recorded live performances and ear-based transcription. Ten original piano compositions were produced, blending Larteh musical idioms with Western compositional techniques grounded in syncretism and intercultural composition theories. Cultural fidelity was verified through two rounds of community review, comparative score analysis, and evaluation against original recordings. The findings confirm that Larteh compound rhythms, call-and-response patterns, and pentatonic melodic contours can be rendered recognisably within a piano medium when guided by rigorous fieldwork and harmonic restraint. The study contributes ten piano scores to Ghanaian art music, offers a replicable compositional methodology for adapting under-researched African folk traditions, and identifies cross-rhythmic structures as a key compositional resource.

Abstract

Visual communication design has become a strategic medium through which brands construct meaning, identity, and cultural narratives. Amid growing globalization, local cultural elements are often reduced to decorative symbols detached from their social and cultural significance. This study examines how visual communication design represents and communicates local wisdom within regenerative branding practices of Indonesian brands. While previous studies have explored regenerative design in architecture and product design, and branding research has focused on cultural identity and heritage, limited attention has been given to visual communication design as a regenerative branding strategy through local wisdom representation. This study addresses this gap through a qualitative comparative case study of three Indonesian brands across different sectors: SukkhaCitta (sustainable fashion), Javara (local food), and Utama Spice (natural body care). Data were collected through non-participatory observation of 24 visual communication items from official websites, product packaging, and social media platforms published between January and March 2026, analyzed using a descriptive-interpretive visual analysis framework. The findings reveal that each brand represents local wisdom through a distinct visual approach: SukkhaCitta emphasizes community-based production through artisan and textile imagery; Javara recontextualizes local food knowledge through biodiversity and indigenous ingredient narratives; and Utama Spice conveys philosophical values through botanical and sensory visuals rooted in Balinese cultural principles. These findings demonstrate that visual communication design functions beyond aesthetic representation, serving as a medium for regenerating cultural knowledge, practices, and values. Regenerative branding among Indonesian brands operates across three dimensions — practice-based, system-based, and value-based — each communicated contextually through visual design, affirming its strategic potential in sustaining local knowledge systems within the global marketplace.
