About the Journal

Interdisciplinary Discourse

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

The journal bridges the intellectual gap between the practice-based rigor of Craft (Kriya)—covering media such as metal, textile, ceramic, wood, and leather—and the contemporary challenges of global creative industries.

01

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).

02

Culture Meets Economy

Analyzing the transformation of Socio-Cultural Heritage and Ritual Craft into viable economic models through collaborations across Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Business Management, and Entrepreneurship.

03

Practice Meets Theory

Publishing direct outcomes of Practice-Based Research or Artistic Creation, forging a robust methodological link between creative output and theoretical justification in Visual Culture and Design Theory.

By focusing on these academic collaborations, Hastagina aims to elevate craft discourse from technical skill to a comprehensive scholarly discipline, contributing to sustainable growth in the global Creative Industries.
