And since we’re sharing the new poster for the next PechaKucha Night in Whangarei, let’s also take a look at this month’s Vol. 4, courtesy of this report by organizer Kara Dodson — and we do believe this is the first example we’re heard of sign language interpretation happening at a PKN (especially as a regular thing). You’ll find more photos in this Flickr photoset, and photos/posters from previous events in PKN Whangarei’s Flickr photostream.
Our nights have become a real community event — I suppose because we are really only a small city (75,000) all the arty lot all want an excuse to all get together and find out about each other more — so, it’s been really great. Everyone looks forward to them and we are trying to stick to one every six weeks.

The next PechaKucha Night in Whangarei (Vol. 5) is set to take place at The Old Library on October 21. If you’ve noticed a trend in Whangerei’s posters, there’s a reason for that, as organizer Kara Dodson explains.
You might see a theme developing with our posters — they are actually all from photos I took of cool graffiti in Buenos Aires and Rio a while back. They are certainly making everyone’s head turn and brighten their days.
Following the look at Whangarei’s recent PechaKucha Night Vol. 3, time to start thinking about Vol. 4 — it’s already set to happen at The Old Library on September 1.
As organizer Kara Dodson tells us, PechaKucha Night is rocking Whangarei, with lots of love coming from last week’s audience at Vol. 3.
We had about 250 at the last one, complete with 2 people signing all of the presentations for those of the deaf community who were in the room. I did a presentation this time too — very exciting. We also included one off the main website too — which was excellent of course — we chose Gary Cheng’s “Transformer Apartment.”

As we posted recently, Whangarei is having its third PechaKucha Night in just a few weeks (July 21), but we wanted to share a few more things from past events, including the flyer that was created for Vol. 1, pictured above. There are also plenty of photos online from the first two events on PKN Whangarei’s Flickr account — or you can go directly to photosets of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
It’s still about a month away, but organizers of PechaKucha Night in Whangarei have announced that Vol. 3 will happen July 21, again at The Old Library.
Even though Whangarei held its Vol. 2 just a few days ago, we haven’t yet had any photos to share here on PechaKucha Daily, so big thanks to organizer Kara Dodson for sending the photo above from April’s Vol. 1, to be included in the the PechaKucha Night global city loop. We’ll hopefully also get some photos from Vol. 2 to share in the next week or so.
