About the Journal

Hastagina: Jurnal Kriya dan Industri Kreatif functions as a vital nexus for interdisciplinary discourse by synthesizing knowledge from the fields of Fine Arts, Design, Humanities, and the Creative Economy.

The journal is specifically designed to bridge the intellectual gap between the practice-based rigor of Craft (Kriya), covering diverse media such as metal, textile, ceramic, wood, and leather, and the contemporary challenges of global industries.

We invite researchers whose work exemplifies this academic synergy, particularly in areas where:

1. Aesthetics Meets Technology: Exploring how Art and Design theory intersects with Material Science and Engineering to drive innovation in craft production (e.g., bio-materials, digital fabrication, and sustainable technology).

2. Culture Meets Economy: Analyzing the transformation of Socio-Cultural Heritage and Ritual Craft into viable economic models, requiring collaboration between Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Business Management, and Entrepreneurship.

3. Practice Meets Theory: Publishing articles that are the direct outcome of Practice-Based Research or Artistic Creation, thereby forging a robust methodological link between the creative output and its theoretical justification in disciplines like Visual Culture and Design Theory.

By focusing on these academic collaborations, Hastagina aims to elevate the discourse on Craft from mere technical skill to a comprehensive scholarly discipline, actively contributing to the sustainable and ethical growth of the global Creative Industries sector.
