About Kampong Collective
Stories, creativity, and cultures of Southeast Asia deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Kampong Collective is building a thriving ecosystem for Southeast Asian culture, creativity, community, and entrepreneurship.
How We Began
A spark at Singapore Festival 2025
Kampong Collective grew out of Singapore Festival 2025, where more than 3,300 people gathered around food, art, performance, and connection.
In that gathering, we saw a deeper hunger: for spaces where artists, makers, founders, small businesses, and families could be seen, supported, and connected.
Today, we carry that spark forward through year-round experiences, marketplaces, and programs that open doors for what comes next.
Our Mission
Three pillars that guide our work
Our mission centers on celebrating culture, amplifying creators, and strengthening the ecosystem that holds us all together.
Celebrate Culture
We create experiences rooted in Southeast Asian stories, foodways, art, performance, and shared traditions.
Amplify Creators & Founders
We provide platforms for artists, chefs, storytellers, vendors, entrepreneurs, and small businesses to reach new audiences.
Strengthen Ecosystem
We connect people, groups, and businesses across Southeast Asian identities to share visibility, support, and momentum.
Our Board & Leadership Team
Cultural stewards, community builders, neighbors-at-heart
Kampong Collective is guided by cultural stewards, community builders, and neighbors-at-heart working to grow this vision together.
