Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji masalah maskot seni rupa tersebut sebagai simbol akulturasi budaya melalui analisis intra estetik dan ekstra estetik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari aspek intra estetik, perwujudan Warak Ngendog sebagai maskot Dugderan merepresentasikan hewan rekaan berkaki empat yang bersifat enigmatik, unik, eksotik, dan ekspresif. Dari aspek ekstra estetik, maskot tersebut secara simbolik mencerminkan akulturasi budaya Jawa, Arab, dan Cina yang merefleksikan pesan-pesan edukatif ajaran moral Islami serta nilai harmoni kehidupan masyarakat multikultur. Interaksi sistemik unsur-unsur ulama, pemerintah, masyarakat, ritual Dugderan, dan maskot seni rupa Warak Ngendog sebagai simbol akulturasi budaya dapat berperan secara sinergis sebagai model dalam membangun integrasi budaya.AbstractWarak Ngendog, a mascot of Semarang City in Dugderan ritual tradition, is a symbolically laden cultural creativity.
