Our final presentation from PechaKucha Night in Johannesburg Vol. 5 is a bit of an irreverent one — OK, maybe actually QUITE irreverent — with Zwai and Phillip sharing with us “Rebuilding, the African Way.” We hope it puts a smile on your face. You can see more presentation from Johannesburg in that city’s section of the “Presentations” area.
Continuing with our a look at a few presentations from PechaKucha Night in Johannesburg Vol. 5, here then is Brett Will who shows us how we should go about “Rebuilding a nation by embracing children.” Please take note that donations are still indeed being accepted for the “PechaKucha for Haiti” reconstruction efforts, and that you can donate directly to a presentation that moved you, or for a city — on that city’s respective PKN page — that you want to represent.
We’ll end our week of postings on the blog with a trio of presentations taken from PechaKucha Night in Johannesburg Vol. 5, held on February 20 as part of the “Global PechaKucha Night for Haiti.” First up is Studio4332 with a special “Silent salute to Haiti.”
When one person passes away, we honour them by staying silent for 1 minute, but what do you do when 230,000 die? A silent presentation.
PechaKucha Night in Stoke-on-Trent gets a nice BBC radio report, with reporter Dan Tierney checking in on last week’s Vol. 2, held at the Fat Cat Cafe Bar.
The next proper PechaKucha Night in St. Petersburg happens at the end of the month (March 31), but organizers are also preparing a special edition theatrical-themed PK event on June 21. Pictured above is the first of a planned series of ad/posters, this one featuring “guru of theatre” Konstantin Stanislavsky.
PechaKucha Night in Wagga Wagga Vol. 1 is happening tonight (March 18) at the Museum of the Riverina’s Historic Council Chambers. You’ll find lots more details on the official event poster (above), as well as the full list of presenters on the event page.
We were very happy to see some PechaKucha love shown on the Architecture for Humanity Chicago website, first with the appearance of Katherine Darnstadt’s presentation “Design Like You Give a Damn,” from PechaKucha Night in Chicago Vol. 12 — you do know that you can embed PK presentations, right? And as organizer Peter Exley points out, the “Street Furniture Competition” entries include a few PKN Chicago vets, notably Joseph Altshuler (Vol. 13) and Eylül Wintermeyer (Vol. 9). “Chicago fans will remember Eylül’s megalomaniacal wine vessel and bread maker that sustained thousands in New York, Joseph looking through Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window into the lives of his Chicago neighbors, and Katherine eating dirt, literally.” If you’re in Chicago, you won’t want to miss the next volume.
The very first PechaKucha Night comes to Cardiff next week (March 25), to be held at Chapter. We hear from organizer Lou Cameron that one of the presentations will even be done in 3-D! The poster for the event was designed by Esther Kirkpatrick of Orangutan Studio.
Our second presentation highlight for the day comes to us courtesy of John Manoochehri, as he explains in 20 images just how to “Unmake Me Whole” — it was first presented as part of the “Global PechaKucha Night for Haiti.”
We make too much stuff, and that stuff uses too many of our precious resources. How do we unmake the world around us? Another amazingly powerful presentation.
Today we feature a presentation in Japanese with “Schools, libraries, and apartments,” presented by Kazuhiro Kojima and Kazuko Akamatsu (CAt) at PechaKucha Night in Tokyo Vol. 69. For more presentations rom Tokyo, be sure to visit the official Tokyo city page, or the Tokyo section of the Presentations area.
