Promoting Cultural Identity Through Arts Education: The Indonesian Context

Abstract

Cultural identity is a challenging issue faced by developing countries today.Globalization which presents a strong and aggressive culture, called "Global Culture," is considered by many cultural observers a threat to the existence of local cultures in developing countries.This unfortunate because these local cultures play a crucial role in the development of a country's cultural identity.Because cultural identity is necessary for showing the existence of a country in international relations, various efforts are made to promote that cultural identity.One effort to promote cultural identity that is considered potential is through arts education in general public schools and arts (visual art and performing art) schools/colleges.Arts education to promote cultural identity recommended in this paper utilizes local cultures as a source of inspiration.This paper presents three examples of such arts learning strategies.This paper also identifies things that can hamper the implementation of arts learning strategies to promote cultural identity in order to provide a more comprehensive picture.
