Semi Permanent

Heritage — for over twenty-three years, Semi Permanent has been more than a stage; it has been a movement. A gathering of over dreamers, doers, and more than 800 headline world-shaping creators with whom we proudly call alums, each adding their voice to a chorus that continues to resonate across cultures and generations. Now, in 2025, the story turns a page. The heart of Semi Permanent shifts from its birthplace in Australasia to a new basecamp in Tokyo, carried forward by yes, a queer women-led venture firm that is weaving it into a broader vision of investment, creativity, and cultural exchange. Aotearoa remains a beacon: independent yet intertwined, its spirit in dialogue with Tokyo and the world. Together, they form a constellation of places and people, each sparking light into the other. Through every transition, one truth endures: Semi Permanent exists to uplift. To honor artisans, innovators, and thinkers from this region, ensuring their stories travel outward, return transformed, and enrich the fabric of our shared cultural industries. Each experience is an offering, carefully curated, deeply felt, a reminder that creativity is both inheritance and horizon.
