Don’t miss the first Pecha Kucha Night in Christchurch tomorrow!
Already running successfully in Auckland, Wellington, and 121 other cities around the globe, Pecha Kucha is now coming regularly to Christchurch. In the depths of a basement in SOL Square you’ll find some of Christchurch’s finest creative talent—including artists, designers, sound artists, filmmakers and chefs—bombarding you with an inspirational stew of ideas and creative projects. Their brief, a breakneck presentation of 20 images coupled with 20 second sound-bites.
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.
