<![CDATA[Madura Batik, particularly the batik centre in Klampar village, is a productive centre for producing Madura batik. However, as the digital era has developed, the batik artisans have faced many challenges, both in production and in marketing. This study aims to identify the forms of social and cultural resistance employed by female batik artisans in Klampar village to maintain the existence and development of their batik business. The research method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data for the study were collected through observation, structured and in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research conducted in the Batik Centre in Klampar, Pamekasan, in September to Oktober 2025. The results of the study revealed the existence of social and cultural resistance forms carried out by batik artisans. According to James C. Scott's theory, there are two types of resistance: open and closed. Pertama, resistensi terbuka yang terjadi dalam bentuk perlawanan langsung pengrajin batik Klampar terhadap pemerintah yang kurang memperhatikan mereka. Secondly, there is closed resistance, which includes anonymity: the batik artisans use social media for digital marketing. Euphemism: the artisans criticise the government using polite language. Grumbling: the artisans hold closed discussions about not complying with the government's plans to move the batik market, and there is a gender relations construct in the resistance that positions women in a productive role, but there is a disparity in access to capital.]]>
