Under Australia's theme 'Chasing the Sun', WA has put forward a creative representation of the State’s talents —  showcasing WA's unique natural beauty, culture and heritage, as well as celebrating First Nations innovation on the global stage.  

The 2025 World Expo includes an impressive line-up of WA artists to showcase their work on the main stage to major international audiences with around 15,000 visitors per day expected through the Australian Pavilion.

  • Gina Williams & Guy Ghouse: bringing their signature storytelling through Noongar songs to Osaka, sharing a fresh take on ancient traditions and merging evocative sounds. 
  • Cristy Burne: delighting young Japanese and international audiences with her science-meets-theatre shows in a high-energy celebration of Australia’s smarts, humour and innovation. 
  • First Nations fashion label Kirrikin:  showcasing its colourful, indigenous designs in Osaka. Kirrikin also collaborated with Noongar artist Buffie Punch to create the striking uniforms worn at the Australia Pavilion.
