Sovereign Hill acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.

Presented by the Australian Centre for Rare Arts &amp; Forgotten Trades and the Australian Centre for Gold Rush Collections, this Pecha Kucha series is produced by thinkers and creatives, for thinkers and creatives.With a carefully curated lineup of practitioners, researchers, creatives, and people who think deeply about interesting stuff, Pecha Kucha will leave you inspired.Pecha Kucha, a Japanese term meaning "chit-chat," is a dynamic presentation format designed to inspire, engage, and inform. Each speaker is invitedto share their work and ideas in a concise and visually captivating manner. The format is simple yet impactful: 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide, for a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds.Pecha Kucha is designed for sharing work and ideas, fostering collaboration and connecting like-minded people.A cash bar will be available for drinks, and a grazing table will be provided.

What makes something real? Is it the material, the story, or the hand that shapes it? In a world of copies and simulations, this theme explores the pursuit of essence—those moments, objects, and practices that carry authenticity and meaning.

What drives someone to perfect a craft, repeat a gesture, or pursue an idea beyond reason? Obsession is the force that sharpens skill, fuels innovation, and preserves traditions through relentless dedication. It’s where passion and persistence blur into something transformative.

What new possibilities emerge when worlds collide—craft with technology, past with future, cultures with each other? Collision is the spark at the point of impact, where unexpected encounters create friction, disruption, and sometimes brilliance.

No idea is born in isolation. Collaboration is the meeting of minds, hands, and voices—where skills are shared, stories are exchanged, and something greater than the sum of its parts takes shape. It is the spirit of Pecha Kucha: a reminder that culture is built together.
