The Foundry on Rhapta Road in Westlands on Saturday
July the 18th 2015 was the host of the Nairobi volume 6 edition of
PechaKucha where established entrepreneurs from different fields showcased
their work in 20
image slides shown for 20 seconds each, with presentations totaling 6 minutes
and 40 seconds of talking time
PechaKucha Night is an internationally
recognized event based on a unique presentation style in which artists,
designers and other creative individuals have six minutes and 40 seconds to
share their presentations in the traditional PechaKucha format – 20 images,
with 20 seconds to talk about each image.
PechaKucha is literally translated as “chit
chat” or “blah blah” in Japanese. It was created by Klein Dytham architecture
in Tokyo in 2003 as an opportunity for young designers to meet, network, and
show their work in public. PechaKucha has since turned into a massive celebration
with events happening in 780 cities around the world, inspiring creatives
worldwide.
There were five featured creatives who
shared images and stories of their work, their process and what inspires them
to live and work as creative individuals amongst us on the 18th of July 2015
included Mikul Shah founder and CEO of online restaurant guide EatOut Kenya, Boniface
Mwangi, TED fellow, PAWA254, Amina Abdala ,Digital Artist lightrhythm visuals,

No experience is needed to be a presenter
at PechaKucha Nights. Though preparing for the slide show can be challeneging,
the Pecha Kucha Team is always ready to help.
Scheduled breaks between presentations was to
allow everyone a chance for conversation, refreshments, to make connections,
and to share ideas one-on-one.
