HBAF 2020 Presents - Pecha Kucha

DOOR SALES ONLY: Pecha Kucha is the fun, fast-paced speaking format that’s brought communities together the world over and highlighted local treasures and surprises since it began in 2003. Originally devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa) in Tokyo, Japan to short circuit the tedium of long-winded architects’ dissertations.

Speakers present 20 slides, up for 20 seconds each, delivering fascinating presentations of under 7 minutes on their chosen passion or obsession. Pecha Kucha in Hawke’s Bay kicked off in early 2012 and the region has now had 33 events, with local speakers sharing the hilarious and heartfelt, the thought-provoking and mindblowing, and almost everything in between.

At this year’s Festival, the Pecha Kucha Hawke’s Bay team bring you a line-up of artists, makers, movers and shakers connected to arts here in the Bay and the Festival itself. For the line-up of speakers, visit hbaf.co.nz closer to the event.
