As we mentioned the other day (while showing off the poster), Tromso held its PechaKucha Night Vol. 11 this past Thursday, which doubled as an Inspire Japan event. Below, more from organizer Magdalena Haggarde. We’ll also be soon receiving one of the presentations (by Helder Neves) that we hope to share with you online — you’ll find all of the presenters listed on the event page.
Everything went so well, with several people from the audience proclaiming our Vol. 11 the best ever!
We really did have a great lineup, and a high level of presentations. Lots of interesting facts, knowledge, passions, reflections, projects and stories were shared.From the photos I’ve sent, you may notice that we tried a new venue…well, new to us but quite old really — Ølhallen (the beer hall, yes indeed..) is one of the most emblematic “bars” in Tromsø and part of the Mack brewery. In some ways, PKN Tromsø returned “home,” since our first 7 PKNs were held in Kjeller5, another space in the labyrinthic complex that is the brewery quarter.
The Mack/Ølhallen people are so enthusiastic, sweet and supporting, letting us use their space when our usual venue gallery Kurant couldn’t host us due to exhibition preparations — but as you can see, the interior is…interesting! But we realised that PechaKucha fits in and makes its space anywhere, whatever the surroundings!
