The rules are simple. A screen, a microphone, 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide.

That’s pecha kucha! As the closing party for Revealed and Nih! Yeyi Yorga Waangkiny, this edition of Pecha Kucha celebrates First Nations people, cultures and experiences.

Pecha Kucha presentations will see a diverse group of speakers share the inspiring projects they’re working on in communities across WA.

Stick around as we follow that up with some joyful karaoke hosted by House of Bok. They have curated a list of karaoke classics that reveal the diverse musical tastes of First Nations People, from Country love songs to hip-hop beats, and everywhere in between.
