This study aims to examine the condition of local wisdom-based arts in the hyperreality-post truth era. Art in the perspective of local wisdom has undergone a number of changes or shifts along with the emergence of the hyperreality era. This study focuses on people perspective which is based on the perception of reality in the hyperreality-post truth era. This study employed a qualitative approach. Data were collected from several pieces of literature, cultural documentation, and interviews with cultural activists about hyperreality-post truth and traditions in Mandar (an ethnic group in the Indonesia province of West Sulawesi) culture in order to provide a more comprehensive perspective. In general, these changes or shifts can be viewed from the values that underlie a tradition and the messages carried in that tradition.
