Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tourist visits to drop drastically. This had an impact on the weavers in South Central Timor. This study analyses the role of women in improving the economy through digital technology. The method used is a qualitative method with a scientific approach to culture, women’s studies, and aesthetics. The sample chosen is Instagram @tenun_ntt. Based on the analysis, it can be seen that the role of women in increasing sales through Instagram is very important. The women who own the weaving gallery create an Instagram that displays their collection of weaving. They actively hold Instagram Live to promote the weaving products they sell. Sales through Instagram covering various regions in Indonesia and internationally have proven to increase sales. Increased sales meant increased income for the weavers. An attractive product display design on Instagram as well as effective and responsive communication is one of their successes. Digital media is an effective way to increase sales during the COVID-19 pandemic.
