| Abstract: |
This research examined the art of T’nalak, a sacred cloth woven by T’boli women from their dreams, as a vessel of cultural memory in their community. The study aimed to identify and interpret the symbolic elements of T’nalak and analyze the denotative and connotative meanings of its designs using Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. The researcher employed a qualitative design and secondary data analysis drawn from existing documentaries, articles, photographs, and visual materials. Findings revealed that designs such as the zigzag or sigul, the tricolor combination of black, red, and white, eye motifs, animal figures, and geometric patterns are deeply connected to the dreams, spirituality, and cultural memory of the T’boli people. The study also highlighted that T’nalak can be considered a form of visual literature and a cultural text that functions as a medium for transgenerational knowledge transmission. The research recommends more inclusive studies that incorporate the perspectives of the dreamweavers themselves to deepen the discourse on indigenous art and identity. |
