<![CDATA[This article will describe forms of gender representation in TikTok video content based on Theo van Leeuwen and Gunther Kress's theory of Social Visual Semiotics. The research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach with an analysis of three visual metafunctions: representational meaning, interactional meaning, and compositional meaning. Data were obtained through documentation techniques and non-participant observation of gender-themed TikTok content. The results show that TikTok is a multimodal space that displays various forms of gender representation, ranging from the reinforcement of traditional stereotypes to resistance to gender role constraints. Multimodal elements such as visuals, text, audio, gestures, camera angles, and lighting work simultaneously to shape social meaning. TikTok thus functions as an ideological arena that helps build public awareness of gender equality.Keywords: multimodality; gender representation; social visual semiotics; TikTokArtikel ini akan mendeskripsikan bentuk representasi gender dalam konten video TikTok berdasarkan teori Semiotika Visual Sosial Theo van Leeuwen dan Gunther Kress.
