摘要

This study addresses the limited scholarly attention to Javanese karawitan not only as a cultural artifact but also as a community practice that embodies emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. It seeks to fill this gap by examining karawitan as a space of experience that is joyful, useful, powerful, and meaningful in fostering cohesion, resilience, and cultural sustainability. Using a participatory-reflective approach and reflective hermeneutics, the research involved the Badra Laras karawitan group in Surakarta as the subject. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, documentation, and literature study, then analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model with hermeneutic verification. The findings indicate that the practice of Ketawang Barikan embodies musical democracy in the form of rhythmic deliberation, intergenerational solidarity that strengthens social ties, collective memory of disasters functioning as a marker of resilience, and cultural heritage revitalization aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 and SDG 11). The study concludes that karawitan extends beyond aesthetics, shaping collective experiences that reinforce social and spiritual resilience, while recommending community-based revitalization strategies integrated with cultural preservation policies, public health programs, and local disaster mitigation to ensure the continued relevance of traditional art practices in modern contexts.
