Another monster PechaKucha Night for Tel Aviv — something we’ve all learn to just accept as one of those things that just is — and here’s co-organizer Anat Safran with a report on the evening’s festivities.
Full house once again at PechaKucha Tel Aviv Vol.8. 2000 people, 9 presenters, 2 hosts and tons of emotions, thoughts and excitement filled the Hangar at the Tel Aviv port last week.
Alex Libac, one of the most recognized photographer in Israel, also being referred to as the Paparazzi of the anonymous opened the evening with a series of 20 amazing photos. Dror and Tamir, writer and illustrator, followed with an hilarious manifesto about life, words and illustrations. Tali Krakovsky, on a visit from LA, blew our minds away with her work of experience design. Yair Garbuz, one of the leading artists in Israel, accompanied by accordionist Maya Dunitz, read a sharp testimonial text.
Yonil, a young graphic designer with a severe stage fright did a genius presentation about his problem without saying one word. Ziv bar Ilan presented his modular guitar Zoybar and the sharing-open source-let’s do it together theory behind it as well as a live demonstration by guitarist Dudi Levy. Assaf Gavron is the first writer ever on our stage, who revealed to us a little about the process and research he leads, while working on a new novel. Merav Shaham, a talented illustrator, has invited a band to play with her live on stage and directed her 6:40 into a poetic musical and visual experience.
Last were Merav and Gaston, architects from the northern city of Haifa, who have launched the monsters project in their city, where hundreds of monsters showed up all around the city with one goal only: to make us humans happy… Well, there were many happy people that night, and we are all looking forward to our next event in April!
