Role of Taizé Music in Catholic Adoration and Protestant Ecumenical Community in Yogyakarta
Get PDFTaizé’s music comes from an ecumenical monastic order with an intense devotion to peace and justice through prayer and meditation. It was founded by Brother Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche in 1940 in the French village of Taizé and later spread throughout the world. Now the Taizé community is also growing in Indonesia, especially in the city of Yogyakarta. The Taizé community introduced its model of worship consisting of prayer, music, and meditation. The Taizé community entered Indonesia through Ursuline nuns’ work, and some of them later chose Taizé music as their worship accompaniment. In Yogyakarta, Taizé music is being used formally in adoration worship, namely The Holy Hour Worship by the Congregational Scholastic Congregation of SCJ Yogyakarta. Simultaneously, an ecumenical community called DNTZ Yogyakarta sings Taizé music in ecumenical fellowship activities. These are voluntary activities which are performed at different places and open for public. These two models of Taizé music in Catholics and Protestants communities have become a unique phenomenon as both communities play an essential role in its development by helping each other and working together in harmony
Song Translation Analysis as a Means for Intercultural Connectivity
Get PDFIn an increasingly interconnected and globalised world, the need for cross cultural understanding is greater than ever before. Exploring and analysing songs from different cultures can be an effective ‘entry point’ into learning about the nature of other peoples and societies lives and for developing a sense of ethnocultural empathy. Protest songs can provide a lens for intercultural analysis, especially for understanding minority or subcultural perspectives. Translating songs into different languages makes these works more accessible to a broader cross-section of people. We present translations of protest songs, two from Indonesian to English, and one from English to Indonesian. We discuss the respective importance of meaning and poetics in making song translations. Strict adherence to song rhymes is a challenge for translators and one which may impede meaning. The optimal approach depends on the format in which the translation is likely to be presented. Fluency in the target language, rather than the source language, is more helpful for successful translation. Finally, we make some recommendations about the usefulness of intercultural song (text) translation analysis and intercultural awareness

Get PDFSonobudoyo Museum Yogyakarta is the complete museum after the National Museum in Jakarta. There are many art collections in the museum, including bronze statues, gold statues, various ceramics, leather puppets, batik, bamboo works of art, furniture, and various Indonesian mask characters. The masks are treated and displayed in a particular place so that they can last hundreds of years and be seen until now. The research was aimed at how art conservation was carried out for these masks and at a particular strategy in maintaining, protecting, and caring for them. Therefore, it is interesting to study and understand the art of conservation for classical masks at the Sonobudoyo Museum, Yogyakarta. The research results showed that the knowledge of caring for, maintaining, protecting the masks as objects of art collections and cultural products with aesthetic, artistic, and historical values can still be known by the public and the generations. Moreover, the art conservation is also essential to know, not only by conservators but also by the broader community, to preserve and develop classical masks in the archipelago
INDONESIAN DOCUMENTARY: A THEORETICAL REVIEW OF TRUTH CLAIMS PERSPECTIVE
No full textDocumentary is a type of film that tends to be defined as a recording of reality that embedded in moving images. Documentary cannot be separated from the role of the filmmaker because they constructed reality and issues by assembling footage into narratives. Narratives are that accompanied by the social realm as fact and the role of filmmakers in the documentary brings a notion toward truth claim.

ECOART THROUGH VARIOUS APPROACHES
Get PDFThis research was done as an effort to observe, write, and publicize eco-activism and achievements by a number of eco-actors in the midst of an increasingly natural environmental crisis, to be used as stimuli and teaching materials for the course of EcoArt. A number of artists practicing ecoartivism were purposively selected as a sample; their works and achievements are exposed. They are Endar Progresto, Widya Purwoko, Bernadeta Pudiasminarsih (Dyas Ecoprint), and Nasirun. These eco-activists not only work ecologically real, but also creatively communicate ecological values to surrounding communities to change. Nevertheless campaigning this environmental crisis for the better cannot be done partially, but must be jointly supported, organized and socialised continuously. For this reason, their works and achievements, as well as their individual ecoartivism need to be exposed, documented, and assembled as one unit as part of selected subjects of the EcoArt Course in the Fine Arts Department of the Indonesia Institute of the Arts Yogyakarta, to generate enthusiasm in articulating or representing ecological concerns for ecosystem sustainability and preservation of natural environment through Art

Even though the Nagari is a buffer for marine tourism destinations in the Mandeh tourist area, Carocok Painan Beach, and Sago Beach, it had not yet found a strategic solution that should be made. The solution is offered by completing the guided Nagari based on culture and tourism into a creative industry. The answer is to empower PKK (Family Welfare Program) groups of adult female and adolescents to be given skills with implementation methods, namely applying active learning strategies between instructors and community members in theory and practice. From the results of the training: (1) The groups of PKK are proficient and skilled at reading the Pasambahan pantun to welcome the bride and groom; (2) PKK female groups are adept at creating traditional clothing using takuluak that have been made by themselves and make-up that can be used for conventional marriage ceremonies and alek nagari; and (3) Youths have become proficient at playing Randai and established the Randai Padi Sarumpun Group, which was formed due to the implementation of PPNB. The training program was also complemented by religion and customs training to change the community’s attitudes and mindset into a civilized and cultured nation. The formation of positive behavior can lead people to creative industries and open themselves to receiving tourists who come to visit. Automatically, the training held can create welfare and employment for the community.
