<![CDATA[This study examines the Sekura tradition of the Saibatin community in West Lampung as a dynamic form of local genius, which has undergone a transformation from a pre-Islamic animist ritual into a contemporary socio-religious festival. This study employs a descriptive-analytical qualitative method with a social history approach and cultural analysis based on literature review, focusing on the cultural context of the Saibatin community in the West Lampung region, particularly in Liwa and Krui. The findings reveal that Sekura demonstrates cultural resilience in preserving core values such as Piil Pesenggiri and social solidarity, while simultaneously adapting through processes of Islamic acculturation, tourism commodification, and digital mediation. This transformation also indicates a shift in the authority of meaning from traditional structures toward a more open digital public sphere, which implies the potential for a reduction in the philosophical significance of the tradition. Therefore, this study proposes preservation strategies based on epistemic integration through cultural education, the regeneration of traditional leadership, and models of digital curation and creation that encourage collaboration between traditional stakeholders and the younger generation. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of resilience and local cultural transformation amidst the currents of globalization and digitalization.]]>
