Malaysia’s own Marini Ramlan, known in the local arts scene as Nini Marini, has collaborated with Airbnb to launch the first Malaysia-based Online Experience!
From learning new recipes to picking up fun new skills, Airbnb Online Experiences have rapidly become a favorite among guests as they travel virtually to countries around the world.
A popular figure in Malaysia’s arts scene, Nini Marini has created artworks in a variety of mediums, including ceramics, textiles, metals, and even artificial intelligence. Her abstract yet decorative style is bold, accessible, and imaginative, and has led to her working with Malaysian designers and global brands alike. In the spirit of Hari Raya festivities, Nini is now sharing her vibrant aesthetic through her Online Experience, which will take place twice a week starting 10th June, where she will be teaching guests how to weave using t-shirts!
Nini’s Online Experience, Weaving with Tees, is the first to be hosted in Malaysia. Fun, light-hearted, and easy to follow even for beginners, guests will be able to spend a relaxing time exploring their creative side with Nini and learning more about her artistic journey.
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to connect with a global community and celebrate my love for the arts by hosting the first Malaysia-based Online Experience,” said Nini. “T-shirt weaving is a fun, simple, and creative activity that anyone can take part in, and with all of us celebrating Raya differently this year I truly believe this is a great way for families and friends to spend time together virtually. I’m also hopeful that this will inspire more Malaysians to start hosting their own Online Experiences and sharing their own passions with the rest of the world.”
As a new way for people to connect, travel virtually, and earn income during the Covid-19 crisis, Airbnb welcomes more Malaysians to share their passions with the world by hosting their own Airbnb Online Experience!
