Isnaeni Achdiat is an art and culture activist. In the field of art, he not only creates songs, but also conveys his big thematic ideas. For example, the theme of humanism in the song “Take To The Sky”, tribute to Tokyo Olympics, or the theme of nationalism in the song “Patriotku” and “Sayap-sayap Garuda”. Another work is The Beauty That We Are, which was performed at the ASEAN Day (November 7, 2022) and became the only song played at the ASEAN Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020. He founded the ISN Orchestra which carries a mission to strengthen nationalism through Indonesian songs.
Selain menciptakan karya karya yang bertemakan humanisme dan kebangsaan dalam bidang seni, Isnaeni juga memperhatikan budaya, khususnya dalam hal budaya belajar. Bertalian erat dengan kegiatan risetnya sewaktu sebagai mahasiswa doktoral, Isnaeni mengambil variabel penelitian Budaya Pembelajaran Organisasi, yang merupakan konsep penting dalam mengembangkan organisasi yang tentunya dapat diterapkan pula dalam konteks lebih luas (makro) dalam sektor pendidikan di Indonesia.
Lebih dari itu, Isnaeni melihat budaya memiliki dua peran, yaitu kekayaan sekaligus ketahanan nasional sebuah masyarakat. Untuk itu perhatiannya tumbuh dan memulai upaya upaya untuk memfasilitasi program khusus pengenalan budaya dari suku utama di Indonesia, Jawa, Sunda, khususnya dari segi bahasa dan perilaku masyarakat.
