Hum. as the head of the master study program informed that lectures activities at PSPSR UGM have various subjects that can support art studies according with the interests of students.

The Swatantra Festival collaboration concert entitled “A Visit to The Unseen” was held on November 5, 2022, at Graduate School, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Carrying the spirit of creating inclusivity, freedom, and independence in art, Master students of Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies, Graduate School, Universitas Gadjah Mada 2021 collaborated with the Jogja Disability Arts foundation to organize a series of community service events called the Swatantra Festival. Jogja Disability Arts is an arts organization with the mission of creating full participation and equality for people with disabilities in the field of arts and culture, both at the national and international levels. Furthermore, the Swatantra Festival collaboration concert title is expected to be an accessible art space for people with disabilities and create public concern and awareness through art as a media of socialization.
In line with the vision, the head of the Jogja Disability Arts Foundation, Sukri Budi Dharma, said that implementing the Swatantra Festival collaboration concert title is an excellent first step for creating inclusivity in the, especially performing arts.
“Inclusivity in the realm of art should not be just a discourse. We must work together to create inclusivity in art, one of which is through the title of this concert,” said Sukri Budi Dharma while attending the title of this concert.
Through the theme of A Visit to The Unseen, the title of this collaborative concert seeks to answer the struggle that occurs in the realm of art and disability. This collaboration concert was held to answer a question that is quite difficult when talking about art and disability: is it still necessary and relevant for them to bear the predicate or identity as a disabled group when they are in the realm of art?
To answer these questions, the visitors were taken on an adventure to immerse themselves in the collaborative works of Jogja Disability Arts and PSPSR UGM students of the class of 2021 through several installations and performing arts. From the entrance of the concert venue, visitors are invited to open the curtain of “the unseen” through a fabric installation made with the suminagashi art (marble painting) technique. The works presented result from the Suminagashi Art Workshop held on October 30, with the main instructor, Widji Astuti (Serodja Widji Batik) and attended by 30 participants from the general public. Furthermore, there are various collaborative art performances featured in the concert titled A Visit to The Unseen by the following performers:
1. Tami Aulia & Friends
2. Layang
3. Dian B Art
4. Endang Sundayani
5. Nalitari
6. Ista Band
7. Etnosfora
8. Katagama
9. Transcendance
Looking at it from the audience’s perspective, overall, the organization of the Swatantra Festival, which was held online again, became a cure for the community’s longing after two years of the title being able only to be enjoyed online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, many culinary tenants are selling at this festival, thus complementing the music festival atmosphere that has been missing for a long time. Finally, the Swatantra Festival Collaboration Concert: A Visit to The Unseen is a witness to the struggles experienced by fellow artists with disabilities in art. The battle is still there today, but now we can see a new ray of light. A sign of the birth of new hope, which we want to explore with all our friends through the medium of performing arts. (NF)

The Performing Arts and Visual Arts Studies (in Indonesian: Pengkajian Seni Pertunjukan dan Seni Rupa – PSPSR), Graduate School, Universitas Gadjah Mada received a visit from representatives of Teater Garasi, including Yudi Ahmad Tajudin, Lusia Neti Cahyani, and Shohifur Ridho’i, on Wednesday 27 April 2022. The visit included more about the collaboration between PSPSR and Teater Garasi in the Intersection Media Laboratory Project (Project Laboratorium Sesilangan Media).
Yudi Ahmad Tajudin stated that the Intermediality Laboratory Project, which targets the Performing Arts, Film, and Digital Games (Digital Games), is an effort to link themselves with academic friends. The program aims to track and conduct cross-media experiments that go further than transmedial, to express ideas and social issues through the medium of performing arts, films, and digital games in an increasingly mediated society. As a ‘laboratory,’ this program will be realized in 3 types of interrelated activities: discussion forums and workshops, the creation of cross-media works, and public presentations.
Dr. Budi Irawanto as the Head of the Doctoral Program and Dr. Rr. Paramitha Dyah Fitriasari, as the Head of the Master’s Program, welcomes collaboration with Teater Garasi because it can provide new experiences for students and support each other’s development of the university, especially the Performing Arts and Fine Arts Study Program. This collaboration and initial meeting can formulate future cooperation programs to explore art and see the interrelationships in media intersections.
Later this collaboration will involve PSPSR students as facilitators who will participate in the brainstorming, discussion, recording, documentation, study, and presentation stages.
