PechaKucha Hits TheNewDowse

don’t freak out no Art Gallery is sustaining injuries.

But there will be miles of fun On May 28th, that’s this Wednesday night, when PechKucha returns to Wellington for it’s second night. Head out to TheNewDowse (home of Craft2.0) at 45 Laings Rd for a great night out.

Pecha Kucha Night is an event in which presenters give brief presentations accompanied by 20 images, each of which is shown for 20 seconds, about a topic of their choosing giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Doors open at 7.30 pm and the whole thing kicks off at 8.20pm
the bar is running all night, so you get to hang with great people, hear about some inspirational stuff and have some fun, all at the same time. Yep it’s almost like having a Craft2.0 ;)

Not in Wellington?
Well don’t worry, like all good things, you can also catch PechaKucha in Christchurch on May 29th
Like wellington it kicks off at 8.20pm with doors opening at 7.30pm
It’s being held at The Basement, SOL Square, Corner Manchester and Lichfield Streets (underneath Ishimoto, #6 SOL Square) | $7 entry, tickets on the door.
