總結:This essay traces the life/works of Hoerijah Adam (1936-1971), known for her significance in co-shaping modern dance in Indonesia, providing a subversive discourse that decentres the conventional reading of Muslim women's bodies. Originating from Minangkabau, West Sumatra - the world's largest Muslim matrilineal society - exposed Adam to a hybrid upbringing of traditional home vis-a-vis localised progressive arts education combining Islamic teaching and Western-influenced artistic articulation. Her trajectory shows a woman's dancing body as paradoxical cultural processess, e.g., an interweaving of multiple discourses of Islam, matriliny, and modernism, informed by the innate resilience of Minangkabau culture in defending its core traits against the colonial powers.
