What wisdom can older ways of living still offer us today?

For Jia CURATED 2026, Banana Paper joins alvinT and Somewhere Concepts to explore this question.

For Banana Paper, working with natural materials has changed the way they understand their relationship with nature. Their practice is rooted in allowing materials to retain their own character, rather than making them entirely conform to human needs. It means learning to observe, adapt, and let the material express itself.

For Where We Once Gathered, they bring this perspective into the installation through two of their papers, which become panels placed amongst the trees.

What wisdom can older ways of living still offer us today?

For Jia CURATED 2026, Backus Ceramics joins alvinT and Somewhere Concepts to explore this questions.

The founder of Backus Ceramics, David Anthony Backus believes that making begins by embracing the unknown.

He reflects on experimentation, failure, and the unexpected lessons that emerge when working with clay becomes a dialog. By allowing the clay to respond on its own terms, each obstacle becomes an invitation to create a new language on its own.

What wisdom can older ways of living still offer us today?

For Jia CURATED 2026, House Of Natural Dye joins alvinT to explore this questions.

In this conversation, I Gede Indrayatna from Tarum reflects on how natural dyes offer another way of making. One that draws from local plants, traditional weaving, and generations of knowledge. Rather than looking to the past with nostalgia, Tarum demonstrates how these practices continue to evolve through a contemporary perspective.

Perhaps the future is not about inventing new materials, but learning how to listen to the ones that have always been around us.

20YearsAlvinT

25/07/2026

For nearly two decades, alvinT’s work has been guided by questions about how we live, what we make, and what it means.

Where We Once Gathered becomes both a reflection on that journey and a continuation of the questions that have shaped the practice.

Created for Jia CURATED 2026, inspired by this year’s theme Nature Weave, and developed in collaboration with Somewhere Concepts, the installation begins with a simple inquiry:

What wisdom can older ways of living still offer us today?

20 Years of Asking Questions

As AlvinT marks two decades of practice, we look back by reflecting on the questions that have shaped who we are and the ones that continue to guide us.

In this first conversation, Alvin shares the question that feels most important to him today:

What wisdom can older ways of living still offer us today?

It is this question that inspired our upcoming installation for .curated this year.

A look at our afternoon.

In days that often move too quickly, it's the smaller moments we tend to miss. A few pages of a book, an afternoon treat, a quiet pause. We believe the best settings are the ones that make room for moments like these.

Some of the most meaningful moments happen around a table. Morning coffee, shared meals, lingering conversations.

The spaces we inhabit are shaped by the objects we surround ourselves with, objects that endure, not only in the way they're crafted, but in the lives they're meant to accompany.
