About
Jia CURATED is an immersive weekend of craft, design, and culture. Originally introduced in 2022 as Jia Curated Kiosks, it evolved into Jia CURATED in 2025, expanding its vision and impact. Rooted in the meaning of Jia—home in Chinese—the event explores a new theme each year, fostering connections and dialogue through exhibitions, programmes, and initiatives.
At its core, Jia CURATED embraces Gotong Royong, the Indonesian spirit of communal collaboration. This ethos shapes interactions and projects throughout the event, ensuring a lasting impact that extends beyond the event itself and strengthens creative communities.
