Introduction

The JAM Art

The JAM ART is a research-led space by Junita Arneld where fieldwork, photography, and continuity of practice meet— a working archive of form, context, and heritage-in-use.

We map Indonesia’s material heritage—especially Borneo and the eastern islands—through precise description, provenance, and use. This continuum of objects, images, and notes serves scholars, curators, and collectors seeking responsible access.
