About

YOU ARE NOT ALONE begins with an evening of gathering, remembrance, and intention-setting. The ceremony introduces the spirit of the event, celebrating the dance and salvaged artworks of Arifwaran Shaharuddin (1977–2025), and the community of care that gathered around him.

Through words, movement, and collective reflection, the evening invites artists, friends, collaborators, and audience members to come together in solidarity. It will feature performances from participating artists, a preview of the exhibition In Solitude: Salvaged Love, and a communal gesture of connection—marking the start of a journey that reminds us all: You Are Not Alone.

Featuring: Zamzuriah Zahari, Bernard Goh, Hands Percussion, Choo Tee Kuang, Loke Soh Kim, Gan Chih Pei, Aida Redza, Michael Xavier Voon, Marcel, Weijun, and more. Emcee: Pang Khee Teik
