| Summary: | This paper attempts to describe and analyze the sculpture/carving,
known as the Macan Kurung (Tiger in a Cage). The data were collected
by the method of documentation, interviews, and observations, while the
study approach used is semiotics. This article shows that the Tigers Brackets

theme of Macan Kurung message. In addition, the Macan Kurung
also a cultural captivity protest message in a colonized society. |
