Abstract

Intercultural arts can be defined as arts in cultural societies regardless its background identity whether it is occidental and or oriental. It is a culture as a global entity and the differential to other cultures can only enrich the people cultures of the world. In this point of view, there is no one culture that is dominant to another cultures, as well as that there is no superior and vise versa inferior in a culture of the whole world societies. It means that even a culture that is live and practice by an aborigine society cannot be exterminated as a backward culture to be compared to a township and or marginal and even metropolitan society. For an aborigine society, a culture is their life itself and thus cannot be separated as an element that can be easily evaluated as a primitive culture. The use of communication apparatus however primitive is as useful and effective for the aboriginal people as well as their natural knowledge in their daily life. To judge that they are backward and primitive if only because of secular and secondary elements like the way of wearing, eating, communicating, music and arts making, etc. is not justify for those things cannot be compared at all. It means that they have their own beliefs and those secondary things are regarded by them as outer fashions. They have their own inner life that is as complicated as the “cultured” people have.
