Indonesian Design Festivals

Jia CURATED returns to Bali Festival Park from August 14 to 18, reviving the deserted amusement grounds into a dynamic space for Indonesian and global creativity. Rooted in the spirit of gotong royong, or communal cooperation, the event hosts over 70 installations and more than 200 participating brands. Visitors navigate nature-reclaimed structures that now house textile showcases, rattan furniture displays, and large-scale bamboo art, blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design.

This year’s theme, “Evolving Perspectives,” invites audiences to reflect on the intersection of culture, sustainability, and art. Highlights include the “Waste to Wonder” program, which repurposes discarded materials into functional public pieces, and immersive art trails that weave through the park’s decaying architecture. By reimagining a forgotten space, Jia CURATED not only celebrates design but also fosters dialogue on community resilience and creative adaptation.
