Four women together wearing patterned Sumbanese Ikat

For the next generation

My Vision

A living place for knowledge, culture and the next generation.

Kabeli La Kambu Ina

A living library

Nensi imagines a community space where Sumbanese women can create, teach and share knowledge. Visitors would encounter history, culture and everyday practices through the people who carry them.

The project connects weaving with nature, tradition and cultural exchange. It is a hope for future generations to value the knowledge held in the cloth and in the community.

Women sharing a conversation surrounded by displayed Ikat textiles
Knowledge shared through conversation, cloth and community.
I want to help women achieve their goals and dreams, and keep the stories of Sumba alive through weaving.
