Welcome to Senaren
The Senaren Foundation was established with a vision to bridge cultures and preserve heritage. Since our inception in 2025, we have been committed to creating meaningful connections between communities through education, cultural exchange, and preservation initiatives.
For over 20 years, our founder, Dr Linda S. McIntosh, and our director, Mr Antony Lianurat, have worked with local communities and people passionate about textiles and culture from all over the world to facilitate exchanges and educational opportunities in Indonesia and across Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. Now, we are united to work officially as a foundation in Indonesia.
