Mar del Plata held its PechaKucha Night Vol. 2 a few days ago, and as you’ll have noticed by the use of the “Inspire Japan” logo on the flyer above, the event contributed to raising awareness and funds to our reconstruction efforts. It was quite the night as well, as organizer Sebastian Ianantuony tells us:
You won’t believe what happened to us… but our 2nd PechaKucha Night was AMAZING!!! Here we start at 20:20, and at 19:57 we had a outage in the area (affected area of 120km all around). But luckily, the problem was solved at 20:55, and we could run the event. It was a crazy thing. And the people who were invited stood on the sidewalk, in the dark, waiting with us for the lights come back again.
We’re glad that the show did indeed go on. The flyer above was designed by Nicolas Fossatti, who was also a presenter at the event, and designed urns that are being used to collect donations throughout the month of May.
We just wanted to share a big public thanks to the organizers and all of the presenters of PechaKucha Night in Mar del Plata for the amazing care package they sent to the PKN HQ here in Tokyo — it included a little something from each and every presenter who participated in that city’s first volume back in January. I can assure you that it put a great big smile on everyone’s face.
We’ve been raving about those PechaKucha Night-branded kites seen in the imagery of the Mar del Plata’s flyer, and co-organizer Sebastian (pictured right) sends in this photographic evidence of an actual physical version of the kite. That’s it, we want one! And don’t forget that the inaugural PKN in Mar del Plata happens on Thursday of this week (January 14).
