2026 Pecha Kucha Series
Friday 8 May: 10 OBSESSION
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.
Friday 14 August: 11 COLLISION
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.
Friday 13 November: 12 COLLABORATION
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.
