Jogja Disability Arts merupakan sebuah organisasi seni dengan misi mewujudkan partisipasi penuh dan kesetaraan bagi para penyandang disabilitas dalam bidang seni budaya, baik di tingkat nasional maupun internasional. Pengabdian masyarakat merupakan salah satu pilar Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, serta menjadi salah satu program kegiatan tahunan yang rutin diadakan oleh program studi Magister Pengkajian Seni Pertunjukan dan Seni Rupa Universitas Gadjah Mada (PSPSR UGM).
Melalui spirit dan kemauan yang selaras dengan PSPSR UGM dan Jogja Disability Arts, maka diselenggarakanlah kegiatan kolaborasi berupa pertunjukan seni bersama komunitas-komunitas disabilitas di wilayah DIY. Dengan demikian, gelaran ini diharapkan dapat menjadi sebuah ruang seni yang aksesibel bagi para penyandang disabilitas, sekaligus mewujudkan terciptanya kepedulian dan kesadaran publik melalui seni sebagai media sosialisasi.
Dengan tema “A Visit to The Unseen”, merupakan pertunjukan kolaboratif antara mahasiswa program studi Pengkajian Seni Pertunjukan dan Seni Rupa dan yayasan Jogja Disability Arts. Gelaran ini akan membawa pengunjung untuk menyelami perjalanan para difabel melalui tiga fragmen instalasi naratif dan pertunjukan musik, tari, dan teater. Lebih jauh, bentuk apresiasi yang diharapkan adalah publik tidak lagi menilai sebuah karya seni yang divisualisasikan oleh seniman difabel berdasarkan latar belakang mereka sebagai sosok dengan keterbatasan fisik.
Nantikan kolaborasi kami dan rekan-rekan Jogja Disability Arts dalam puncak acara 5 November 2022 mendatang.

Day, date: Tuesday, August 9, 2022
Time: 09.00 WIB
Venue: Auditorium Lt. 5 Graduate School, Gadjah Mada University
We invite all active PSPSR Masters and Doctoral students.
For new students, this course is mandatory.
This activity was attended by Dr Rr. Paramitha Dyah Fitriasari, M.Hum., as Head of the Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies Masters Program, Dr G.R. Lono L. Simatupang, M.A., as the Head of Study Program Quality Assurance, Dr Budi Irawanto, S.IP., M.A., as the Head of the Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies Doctoral Program, Dr Wiwik Sushartami, M.A., as the Curriculum Development Team, and other teams including Dr M Bayu Tejo Sampurno, M.A., Agustinus Paulus Umbu Tali, M.A., Ike Niken Salindri, M.A., and Deni Kristanto, M.A.
The event was opened by Dr Rr. Paramitha Dyah Fitriasari, M.Hum., as Head of the Master’s Program of Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies, outlines inputs and conclusions on the activity of gathering input from students, alumni, stakeholders, and lecturers. Paramitha said that although there were inputs from alumni stating that Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies were better to provide specialization in the field of study for graduates, it turned out that inputs stated that Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies should prioritize interdisciplinary have a higher ratio.
Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies at the Graduate School, Universitas Gadjah Mada, which prioritizes multidisciplinary studies, aligns with the vision and mission of Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies. The output of this activity is the establishment of a new curriculum for Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies, which will be implemented in the new academic year 2022/2023. In addition to updating Expected Learning Outcomes (ELO) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLO), course restructuring is also carried out by adjusting the number of credits, adjusting course names, updating course descriptions, learning models, and procuring new courses, including Arts, Science, and Technology, and Art, Inclusion and Disability. With the updating of this curriculum, it is hoped that it will be able to answer the challenges of art studies in the future.
This year, a curriculum review workshop was held to solicit input from students, alumni, stakeholders, and lecturers before these inputs were processed and reviewed by the Study Program Quality Assurance Team and Study Program Curriculum Development Team.
Dr Rr. Paramitha Dyah Fitriasari, M.Hum., in her speech, said, “This event is a form of concern for the study program in responding to the development of art science to keep it up to date and by the community’s need for art studies”. In line with this, Dr Lono Simatupang, the Head of Study Program Quality Assurance, stated the importance of changing the curriculum to anticipate the future direction of the art world.
As many have reported, many types of work and artistic needs today are lost, and in their place, new types of work and artistic needs will emerge. Thus the curriculum must adapt to provide for the changing needs of core skills.
