Yogyakarta, April 9, 2026 — The Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta is once again presenting an academic dialogue space that brings together academia and creative industry practices through Kelola Art Talk (KAT) #39. With the theme “Prambanan Jazz Festival: Governance Strategies and Sustainability Behind Popularity,” this event will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026, at the Art Governance Building of ISI Yogyakarta.
This event features Tovic Raharja, CEO of Rajawali Indonesia, as the speaker. The discussion will be moderated by Gwenia Albertina, a student from the S1 Art Management Study Program. This forum is open and free to the public and is part of ISI Yogyakarta's commitment to providing contextual, relevant learning that is directly connected to the dynamics of the professional world.
Through its chosen theme, Kelola Art Talk #39 will discuss various important aspects behind the organization of Prambanan Jazz Festival as one of the widely recognized large-scale events. The discussion will not only touch on its popularity but also on governance strategies, program sustainability, network management, and the challenges of maintaining organizational quality amidst the evolving demands of the creative industry.
The organization of this forum confirms that ISI Yogyakarta is not only a space for artistic development but also a learning center that pays serious attention to art governance, event management, and strengthening the cultural ecosystem. Through activities like Kelola Art Talk, students gain access to real-world experience, professional insights, and strategic perspectives needed to meet the challenges in the current art and creative industry fields.
The presence of industry practitioners in academic forums also demonstrates ISI Yogyakarta's efforts to build a productive bridge between higher art education and the world of work. This step simultaneously strengthens ISI Yogyakarta's position as an adaptive art higher education institution, open to collaboration, and oriented towards developing the capacity of superior art and culture human resources.
For students, this forum provides an important opportunity to understand that the success of a festival is determined not only by artistic quality, but also by meticulous planning, professional management, and a strong vision of sustainability. Meanwhile, for the general public, this activity offers a learning space that enriches their understanding of cultural event management practices on a broader scale.
Art Talk #39 is expected to be a forum that not only broadens academic horizons but also clarifies ISI Yogyakarta's contribution to building art discourse relevant to the needs of the times. By continuously presenting a space for interaction between science, practice, and industry networks, ISI Yogyakarta demonstrates its role as an art campus that actively creates value, knowledge, and impact for the community.
