PKAKL58: "20x20 Vision"
“PKAKL58 was a tale of two halves… originally scheduled for the week before lockdown, the event was postponed and returned in July. We kicked off by celebrating the year of the 20x20 format, and ended up being the first physical PechaKucha night anywhere in the world after the wave of global shutdowns. We featured a stellar cast of photography, architecture, art and thinking. We were joined by a Kiwi designer smashing it in Copenhagen, enjoyed some words from Tokyo HQ, and closed the night with Roman Mars’ reading of “250 Things an Architect Should Know”, in memory of Michael Sorkin.”
I was delighted to be asked recently to speak at the "20x20 Vision" PechaKucha event, amongst some really fantastic other speakers. I talked about my work with the APO, Synthony, and other projects. There’s a video, I’ll post it here when it is available.

“PechaKucha (PK) Nights are informal and vibrant events where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, missions - just about anything, really!
PK uses a simple presentation format:20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically, and speakers talk along to the images. This keeps talks on time, on track, and audiences engaged.
PK began in Tokyo in 1998, and has grown to be one of the world’s largest grass-roots creative event series. Today, PK nights are hosted in over 1000 cities around the world.”
