Simpang

Info

Simpang—derived from the word persimpangan (intersection)—is an archival magazine dedicated to Indonesia’s Chinatowns as meeting points where Chinese, local, and colonial cultures converged to shape a distinctive, hybrid identity.

Through a visual approach, Simpang documents the architecture and daily life of these Chinatowns, preserving their history before the traces are eroded by urban change.
