On October 29, 2025, the fourth Forum Rabu Wagen took place at the Graduate School, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Featuring two Doctoral program students as speakers and attended by about 10 students of the performing arts and visual arts studies program. The first speaker, Ashar Murdihastomo, with the title of his presentation, Perubahan Visual Arca Batu Siwa Mahadewa Abad ke 14-15 Masehi di Jawa: Kajian atas Ketidakhadiran Ikon Khusus Tokoh Dewa, provided in-depth knowledge sharing on the topic. The second speaker was Anon Suneko with the topic title, Gending Pakualaman Yogyakarta Periode Paku Alam IX – Awal Dekade Paku Alam X: Garap dan Identitas. This is an interesting topic that has attracted students who want to delve further into related areas. Through this forum session, students can not only understand new topics in art studies but also be inspired to improve the quality of their studies, enabling them to make new contributions in their fields. This once-a-month event will be held again this November with two more speakers who will share their latest research results. This activity supports SDG 4 – Quality Education, by fostering academic dialogue and knowledge sharing among doctoral students, encouraging research development, and enhancing the quality of higher education in the arts.
