Abstract

This article describes the matrilineal customs and their implications for women's involvement in artistic activities in Minangkabau. The matrilineal custom provides limited opportunities for women to be involved in artistic activities. This phenomenon was deeply felt in the 1970-the 1990s, when it was complicated to find women taking a role in an artistic event, especially as actors (players). The prohibition or strong resistance comes from the Mamak (mother's male relatives) as the ruling party in the matrilineal kinship system. The data and facts in this paper were from literature studies, observations, and interviews. The study results showed that the strength of the Mamak prohibition against women's involvement in artistic activities was the assumption that these activities include discordant acts and deviant behavior that can embarrass relatives and ethnic groups. Historical events, the function of the arts, and art support groups in the past have colored society's antipathy towards art in general. In the current reality, marked by the weakening role of Mamak and the increasingly vital role of fathers in the household, more and more women are involved in artistic activities.
