A Creative Network Event
Pecha
Kucha Nights is a network event for creatives, taking place in over 800
cities all over the world. The mission is to inspire, uplift and
entertain different audiences. The concept is simple, each creative get
to show 20 pictures, showing each picture for 20 seconds. The pictures
advance automatically and allows the presenter to talk along the
pictures. This is a way of sharing ideas, thoughts, work, or pretty much
anything. Pecha Kucha Nights hosts fun gatherings where creative people
can get together and inspire.
“Pecha
Kucha is a global series of live events held worldwide where people can
meet, inspire and get inspired, based on a format that is fast-paced
and fun”
Previous
Pecha Kucha Nights in Nairobi took place on the 20th of February at the
National Theater and on the 18th of July at the Foundry. The next Pecha
Kucha will take place on Wednesday 18th of November at The Foundry at
6-10 pm and NDW is proud to be the host of this event. We will introduce
you to five selected creatives who have prepared pictures specifically
for this event, and they are looking forward to sharing their ideas and
their work with the audience. In between each presenter there will be a
break which will give you a chance to socialize and network with other
creative minds.
The
presentation format of Pecha Kucha Nights was developed by Astrid Klein
and Mark Dytham at Klein Dytham Architecture because they felt that
architects, and other creatives, could go on for too long talking about
their projects. The first Pecha Kucha Night took place in their studio
in Tokyo. The 20 x 20 presentation technique has then spread globally
and is the perfect platform for creatives to introduce their projects
without going on for too long and boring the audience.
