PechaKucha Night

PechaKucha, what is it?
PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
With PechaKucha Nights now happening in over 230 cities around the world they have discovered that most cities - not just Tokyo have virtually no public spaces where people can show and share their work in relaxed way.
If you have just graduated from college and finished your first project in the real world - where can you show it? It probably won’t get into a magazine, you don’t have enough photos for a gallery show or a lecture - but PechaKucha 20×20 is the perfect platform to show and share your work.
Good PechaKucha presentation are the ones that uncover the unexpected, unexpected talent, unexpected ideas. Some PechaKuchas tell great stories about a project or a trip. Some are incredibly personal, some are incredibly funny, but all are very different making each PechaKucha Night like ‘a box of chocolates’.
