Dear Pecha Kucha Lovers,
the first Pecha Kucha Night in Christchurch is coming up. Running successfully in Auckland, Wellington and 121 other cities around the globe, Pecha Kucha is now coming regularly to Christchurch.
Pecha Kucha - which originated in Tokyo - is a unique, rapid-fire format in which each speaker shows 20 images, each for 20 seconds. With each presentation lasting just 6 minutes and 40 seconds, the audience experiences an exhilarating variety of ideas and projects.
