Past Creative Collaborations

Artists in Solidarity #DanceforNukeBan

In collaboration with Rakan TPNW, a special committee by the Soka Gakkai Malaysia that promotes the ratification of the international Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) in Malaysia, Tarinao created a community dance experience for the public that culminated into a virtual performance involving nine international professional artists participated by 700 people live and engaged with thousands on social media throughout the month long campaign. At the end of the year, Malaysia was one of the top 50 countries to ratify the TPNW, making the possession and use of nuclear weapons official, illegal on the face of th earth.

Nuke-Clear Campaign

Tarinao was honoured to be able to support the event through mentorship for the Year 2 students at Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TAR-UC) Faculty of Communication and Creative Industries (FCCI) Bachelor in Public Relations (Honours) in 2021. The work of the students in turn inspire hope and applause from local and international activist organisations such as Malaysian Red Crescent and Peace Boat, a Japan-based international NGO.

#Breakthrough75

In collaboration with Rakan TPNW, a special committee by the Soka Gakkai Malaysia that promotes the ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) in Malaysia. Tarinao was commissioned to create a piece of dance to celebrate the 75th year anniversary of the bombing of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The theme was breaking through ignorance after 75 years of actively speaking up of the evil nature of nuclear weapons by especially the hibakushas. The dance can be narrated as beginning with a serious 75 years of struggles and efforts to ban nuclear weapons, progressing into the small steps and big steps that people have made over the years. Gradually, the impacts were felt, the dance increases in volume and speed as well as range.

Individuals were informed, slowly, but surely, leading to the 21st century, a century of peace, where the dynamism of peace continues, so long as we continue to take action and stand for our respective individual voices, together, while respecting the voices of others. Nuclear weapons may be banned but most importantly it has to be continued to be banned in the minds of each individual.
