The Master’s Program of Reka Budaya, organized in collaboration with the ISBI Postgraduate School under the Studi Penciptaan dan Pengkajian Seni Program, aims to bridge diverse artistic approaches to experiment with new possibilities in culture-based regional planning. Fundamentally, this program deliberately chooses direct participatory practice as the primary mode of knowledge production, where art is consciously intended as a practice of collaboration. Through this participatory pedagogy, we explore the extent to which artistic practices can operate within the landscape of social spaces, positioning art as a critical medium of negotiation to evoke civic subjectivity, stimulate collective imagination, and act as a catalyst for bottom-up policy formulation. To ground these concepts in reality, the curriculum is deeply intertwined with the daily rhythm of communities in industrial zones and the organic interactive spaces of the Jatiwangi art Factory, ranging from civic discussion forums, communal rituals, and musical banquets to cultural festivals and tactical interventions in formal participatory planning spaces like Musrenbang. This transformative learning environment is inclusively open to a broad spectrum of backgrounds, including artists, curators, art collective members, activists, community organizers, and Civil Servants, especially those dedicated to mainstreaming culture within development frameworks, as well as individuals seeking to deepen and mature their collaborative practices within collective ecosystems.
