A few weeks ago, we reported that our Fearless Leader would be participating in a local PechaKucha Night, or PKN.
Literally, Pecha Kucha is Japanese for ‘chit chat.’ In 2003, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo’s Klein-Dytham Architecture introduced the term as a presentation methodology in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (six minutes, 40 seconds total). The Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield, Mass. began holding PKNs of their own this year.
To learn even more, you can check out the information-laden and ever-evolving Pecha-Kucha.org, or look at some of the coverage from PK Pittsfield below:
