Istanbul is getting ready for its PechaKucha Night Vol. 4, happening March 18 at Hayal Kahvesi Bistro. Presenters set to appear include a designer (Raif Kurt), a glass blower (Hafize Uncuoglu), a technologist (Burak Bayburtlu), an anthropologist (Lisa DiCarlo), a lighting expert (Emre Gunes), and a 3D animator (Altug Demircioglu) — visit the official event page for more info, and details in Turkish can be found here.
Following our Spanish presentation, here’s one in Japanese by designer Ryuji Nakamura, given at PechaKucha Night in Tokyo Vol. 69. Ryuji walks us through a few of his works, including the beautiful butterfly cage pictured above.
Today we’re going to highlight a couple of presentations NOT in English, in part to remind everyone that a PechaKucha presentation can be just as lively no matter the language, and whether you understand what is being said or not. Let’s kick things off then with Nicolas Uribe who presented his “Better than Picasso” in Spanish at last month’s PKN Bogota Vol. 6, which was held during our big “Global PechaKucha Night for Haiti” event. The city was able to raise more than $1,500 for the cause, and please feel free to add to the sum if you enjoy Nicolas’ presentation.
What does a PechaKucha Night in Marseille look like? This video round-up of last month’s Vol. 10 (held February 26) gives you a pretty good idea. Also, organizer Sarah Carriere-Chardon has put together an album of photos from the event up on Facebook — and if you want to stay updated on all things PKN Marseille, make sure to register for the newsletter on the official city page, as well as check in on the Facebook group.
As we kick off a new week of presentation highlights — you do know that we have a terrific “Presentations” section on the site, right? — with “Sketch Book of Life,” presented by Martin Willers at PechaKucha Night in Stockholm Vol. 21.
An amazing presentation of sketches, which show how to use the inspiration of life to lift the possibilities of humanity to new heights! Brilliant — thanks Martin!
Raglan recently hosted its very first PechaKucha Night, and here now is a look at how things went courtesy of a report sent in by organizer Rodger Gallagher.
Last night’s first PechaKucha Night at the Old School Arts Centre was a great success with standing room only in the theatre room. The evening started with David Wimmer giving his presentation on the work that he and Frank did in Samoa helping the Samoans rebuild ‘upstairs’ after the tsunami. Dirk de Ruysscher covered the very interesting bike ride he has developed to the Nikau cave near Port Waikato. The trip includes harbour crossing and two days riding on metal roads with some amazing scenery along the way and of course an unspoilt cave at the overnight stop. Jean Carbon finished the first half with her presentation on traditional textiles along the Silk Road. The ‘Beer Break’ proved very popular and it was difficult to get the audience back for the second half.
Guadalajara’s next PechaKucha Night (Vol. 7) is just around the corner, set to happen March 16 at Pare de Sufrir. As with all PKNs this month, donations to the “PechaKucha for Haiti” efforts will still be welcomed.
PKN Osnabrueck organizer Clemens Gruber sends in this update following this week’s Vol. 5 event.
PechaKucha Osnabrueck was part of the “Global PechaKucha Night for Haiti” with a presentation from Robert Buss about the “Disposable Office.” Some ideas for sustainable, cheap, but pretty furniture — this was the brainwork of our support! At our 5th PKN we did the financial side, as ideas only cannot build a school or office. We raised $211.29.
As with other cities, let us remind everyone that you can still go to any city page and donate directly there to show your support.
