Pecha Kucha or, “the sound of conversation,” as it is translated into English, is also a type of formatted slide presentation for speakers. Pecha Kucha (PK) is pronounced “peh-cha-coo-cha” with the stress remaining equal on all four syllables. The format has become so popular that it has inspired Pecha Kucha Nights in over 500 cities around the world where audiences gather at bars and other public venues to watch presentations, much the same way audiences gather for karaoke. Used as format to be succinct, speakers must organize their conversation to be the length of 20 slides with 20 seconds devoted to each slide.
Constraints in this format allow the speaker to organize thoughts, enhance the slide image and keep the point brief; conversely inspiring a variety of creative output.
During October’s First Friday Art Walk, Oct. 7, 5-6:30 p.m, you will be able to experience a Pecha Kucha for yourself. Join us as we dive into the topic of, “The Space within the Land,” a theme that relates to and expands upon the current exhibit, CHA CHA, at the MAC Gallery. The CHA CHA show is themed around conservation, history, and the arts with an emphasis on our local bioregion.
The MAC will host a variety of voices in this PK Talk, including:
Adventure mom and outdoor advocate, Chelsea Murphy Poet, naturalist, and author, Derek Sheffield Teacher and environmentalist, Jenaia Johnson
Members of Wenatchee High School’s Junior AVID class, Community organizer & sustainable gardener, Dane Breslin
Historian and preservationist, Tanner Dotzauer, and others!
Friday, Oct. 7, 5-6:30 p.m in the Grove Auditorium, Music and Art Center, Wenatchee Valley College.
