In “Point of View,” Samer Tarabichi shares his thoughts on how you can perceive things differently after you change your angle or you change your position. The whole picture changes, and it affects your understanding and perception. The presentation is about the importance of taking different points of view on things that we take for granted. It was recorded at PechaKucha Night in Aleppo Vol. 2, and is in Arabic.
PechaKucha Night in Aleppo Vol. 5, held in early March, was a huge success, and as organizer Harout Ekmanian tells us, “we had ten wonderful presentations and there were nearly 400 people at the event, besides the Mayor of Aleppo, Mr Ayman Hallak, and city council members.” We include in this post a few photos from the event, to give you a taste of what the night was like. You’ll also find the full list of presenters on the event page.
Aleppo will have its PechaKucha Night Vol. 5 on March 11 — a special date for us here in Japan as it marks the anniversary of last year’s earthquake and tsunami, which led to our Inspire Japan efforts. The event will be held at Nadwet Al-Shahba, and you’ll find more details here.
Aleppo in Syria recently celebrated its 4th PechaKucha Night, and it was quite an evening, with over 400 in attendance to watch, as organizer Harout Ekmanian tells us, “10 beautiful presentations.” Here then are a few photos from the event, and you’ll find all presenters listed on the event page.
Aleppo is getting ready for its fourth PechaKucha Night, with the event set to take place December 17 at the city’s regular venue, Shibani School (at the Al-Shibani Building). As the poster reveals, it’s time to “Refresh!” You’ll find more info on the city’s Facebook event page.
We’ve been able to share a lot of material from Aleppo recently, and here is a look at the city’s more recent PechaKucha Night Vol. 3, held at the same venue as previous events (the Shibani building).
Following our post with photos from PechaKucha Night in Aleppo Vol. 2, here’s a look at the poster that was produced for the event. Organizer Harout Ekmanian also sent in a few interesting links, including video reports from local TV channel MASAYA for Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, and some promotional videos that were prepared for the events (Vol. 2 and Vol. 3). We’ll also soon be sharing some photos from PKN Aleppo Vol. 3.
Today we take a look at Aleppo’s PechaKucha Night Vol. 2, not the last PKN to be held in the city (Vol. 3 was held in April), but one that we simply hadn’t gotten around to sharing photos for yet. It was help back in February, and as you’ll see from the photos, counted a terrific attendance, with around 450 showing to take in the evening’s varied mix of presentations (you’ll find the list of presenters on the event page). The event was held at the Shibani building in the Jalloum district of the old city, and I think we can all agree that it was a terrific venue for a PKN.
PechaKucha Night in Aleppo Vol. 3 is set for April 3 at the Shibani building, in the Jalloum district of the Old City. You’ll find the list of presenters on the official event page. Organizer Harout Hakmanian tells us that the final presentation of the evening is called “Tribute to Japan,” in which a Syrian photographer who has taken photos in Osaka will present his works — we also hope to record it and share it on our Global PechaKucha Day – Inspire Japan site. Harout will also be accepting donations at the event.
Big thanks to PechaKucha Night in Aleppo organizer Harout Ekmanian for sending in some scans of recent coverage in the Syrian press, from Forward magazine and the Baladna newspaper respectively. Note that PKN Aleppo Vol. 2 will take place February 27 at the beautiful Shibani building — the official event page includes more details, but presenters have yet to be listed.
