Kampung Jurong Issue 3: Coming of Age
The topic of aging is commonly associated with the elderly but rarely drawn in comparison to the process of growing up. We extended the conversation of aging to youths, and facilitate an intergenerational dialogue on aging and imagining an age-friendly society. Issue 3 is a guide to aging that showcases the reflections of five pairings of youth and elderly as they explore thematic questions on aging and growing up. The publication is divided into two parts- the first half features the articles/works by the youths, while the other half features the elderly's perspectives in elderly-friendly text. All the works were synthesised into a guide to aging, printed in the middle section of the publication.

Kampung Jurong Issue 4: Lost and Found
Heritage is often recounted on a grand scale. However, much of our identity comprises of smaller everyday objects that elude our collective memory and archive. Issue 4 is an ode to the heritage behind ordinary preloved objects and traces its renewed lives with new owners. We held open call to invite individuals in sharing a preloved item that they would like to give away to someone with knowledge of its history. Interested contributors picked an item of their interest and meet the owners. They then inherited the selected item and explored its renewed life from their point of view to interrogate how we ascribe meaning and value to the material.
