Community Event: PechaKucha Night - Volume 8

Cost: Free and open to the public!

Japanese for “the sound of conversation,” this event features a succession of 14 speakers, each sharing new ideas about topics ranging from visual art, architecture, and technology to food, film, music, photography and furniture design through a vibrant 400 second long presentation (20 slides X 20 seconds each). The rapid-fire style keeps audiences engaged while breaking down barriers between different design communities. The goal is to expose and attract new talent and ideas, the foster existing creative community in an innovative platform, and incite meaningful collaborations among presenters and audience members.

PechaKucha, pronounced “Peh-chak-chah,” began in 2003 in Tokyo, Japan, when the Architecture firm Klein Dytham Architecture started holding design “show and tells” amoungst their own emplyees. The presentations last 400 seconds (20 slides x 20 seconds a slide) and presenters have NO choice but to continue moving as the slides advance. The style has spread virally to over 200 cities across the world as a way to have many presenters sharing their ideas within the course of one event.

Doors open at 7pm
Presentations 8:20-10:30pm
