PechaKucha
(pronounced: “peh-cha-ku-cha”) presentations are captivating performances of a
spoken narrative over 20 image-rich slides.
PK, as it’s
affectionately known — especially by those who can’t figure out the
pronunciation — is a worldwide phenomenon that now takes place in more than 1,000
cities — including Nairobi.
A few times
each year a diverse and curious audience gathers to hear a few speakers share a
particular passion. Although the atmosphere is casual, the format is
prescribed: 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each while the speaker provides
narration. About halfway through the evening, there’s a break for drinks,
snacks and socializing. Admission is free. Anyone can sign up to present.
This June
14th, the Karen Village hosted another PechaKucha Night. Drinks and
snacks were sponsored by Kericho Gold Tea Company and Krackles Crips. It was
well attended as each speaker shared their passion and delivered bold and
enlightening discussions for the public to explore together.
