Every Thursday night throughout the Biennale (preview on Sunday 16th May) Artspace will host PechaKucha Thursdays - what sounds like an awesome and fun evening that I can't wait for!
Pronouned 'pe-chak-cha', its Japanese for the sound of 'chit-chat' and the concept is that anyone can stand up and show the room their latest creative work, project, or anything they like really. The catch is that you have to talk to 20 slides of your choosing, but you only have 20 seconds a slide. Beginning in 2003 in Tokyo by a couple of architects as an opportunity for young designers to show their work and network, it has turned into a worldwide phenomenon (280 cities worldwide hold events!) where anyone can get up and tell the world their story.
Some of the topics are bizarre and some are hilarious, but their website www.pecha-kucha.org is well worth a look and come along Thursday nights during the Biennale to see what Sydney has to offer!
