Pecha Kucha returns to Phoenix!

Pecha Kucha, Japanese for chit-chat, is the name of the social event that will be taking place for the 2nd time in Phoenix, and already takes place in over 300 cities internationally, after starting in Japan in 2003. This event with its structured format of 20x20, 20 slides with 20 seconds each allows the artist to articulate a thought, tell a story, and/or relate a vision with the audience that is focused. The intention is that the speakers and viewers will then be inspired to engage in discussion, or rather chit-chat that helps develop the local arts community and keep people connected.

Check out my presentation at the latest Pecha Kucha this Friday, November 12, at 7pm! -Lisa
