PECHAKUCHA NIGHT CHRISTCHURCH 15
PechaKucha, which draws its name from the Japanese term for ‘chit chat’, was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event where young designers could meet, network and show their work in public. Since then it has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, including Christchurch. It’s based on a simple idea: 20 images in 20 seconds.
Come and enjoy some of the festival authors as they share their ideas, creative work and passions rapid-fire PechaKucha style.
