20 images x 20 seconds x 8 presenters = 3,200 seconds of inspiration and fun 

What do Brooklyn, Islamabad, Singapore and Cranbrook all have in common? PechaKucha Night!

Cranbrook is one of 1,115 amazing cities around the world spotlighting local creativity and culture through PechaKucha gatherings.

PechaKucha Cranbrook is excited to announce that PechaKucha Night (Volume 5) will be held at Key City Theatre on Friday, February 8.

PechaKucha Nights originated in Tokyo in 2003 and has since become a global phenomenon with more than 1,000 cities around the world hosting these dynamic and inspiring evenings.

PechaKucha means “chit chat” in Japanese and the presentations can be about anything creative, inspiring and community-based.

Eight local presenters will take the stage at PechaKucha Night (Volume 5). Each presenter will share 20 images for 20 seconds each.

PechaKucha Nights are designed to be fun and informal gatherings that bring people together for an evening of quick-fire “show and tell” in under seven minutes per person.

Past presentations have ranged from one woman’s experience living on a 40-year-old sailboat in downtown Toronto, to local urban farming operations, and art projects inspired by trauma.

PechaKucha Night (Volume 5) will include presentations by the following people:

Zach Silver
