We spend our days and nights in a world of concepts, intermediated by screens. Our communications bubble across the ether in 120 characters, and every image is a question more than an answer. How do we keep our connection to The Real?

Nine creatives shared their work, and how they keep it real.

Our speakers were: Matt Liggins, Kate Hawley, Mickey Smith, Valle , Rata Fraser, Carly Van Winkel, Arli Liberman, Jade Paynter

We turned the page forward in a new year that promises new hope in creativity, technology and society.

Short and fascinating talks from Beth Clapperton (Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering Paris), Raphaela Rose (AHHA and RTA), Erika Amoore (Synthony), Laurel Devenie, Petra Leary, Joseph Michael, SiewWee H'ng & Han Law and more.

We close out an extraordinary and challenging year with a call to move forward: “Look Beyond”. Nine amazing Auckland and NZ creatives including Jessica Walker (Bureaux), John Minty (Splore), Hayley King (Flox) and Sarosh Mulla (PAC) share their work from 2020, and their vision for 2021.

In the crazy year that was 2020, we were the first physical PechaKucha night anywhere in the world after the wave of global shutdowns! Featuring a stellar cast of photography, architecture, art and thinking, two special presentations, and a shout from PK global HQ.

"Creative Abundance" celebrated the range of Auckland's creative talent with Jason Whiteley (Matheson Whiteley, Herzog DeMeuron), Emma Kaniuk and Tana Mitchell (Studio AKIN), Juliette Wanty, Garth Badger (ThieveryStudio), Liam Hindley (aka GASP), Karl Sheridan (MonsterValley) and Karen Ishiguro.

After a year off, PK Auckland returned with master designers across the disciplines alongside emerging designers they admire. Featuring Zoe Ikin, Dajiang “DJ” Tai, Nathan Goldsworthy, Rufus Knight, Lakshman Anandanayagam, Cindy Tan, Byron Coll and Henry Crothers.
