PechaKucha Night is a format of inspiring evenings where creatives from various fields meet on stage: architects and urban designers, designers and graphic artists, visual artists and theorists, theatre makers and filmmakers, musicians and creative producers, representatives of gastronomy, and event organisers.
The project was created in 2003 by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham (Klein Dytham Architecture), based in Tokyo. The presentation style is also inspired by Japanese minimalism: each speaker must fit their presentation into 20 slides, speaking for only 20 seconds about each one—which is why PechaKucha events are often referred to as “20x20”.
Thanks to this fast-paced presentation format, the evening is full of energy and fun.
