peChAKuChA nightS
in 2009, Calgary arts development established and facilitated Calgary’s participation in the global pechaKucha night network through a “handshake agreement” with pechaKucha headquarters in tokyo for the rights to these events in Calgary. the format is simple: presenters give visual presentations with 20 slides, each slide lasting 20 seconds. these events contribute to a continuing dialogue pertaining to various aspects of creativity, design and life in Calgary.
pKn #1: CReative SpaCeS and plaCeS (SeptembeR 2009)
this first pKn was held at the gRand theatre and was a precursor to the artscape Creative Spacemaking workshop held the following day.
pKn #2: how we live togetheR (deCembeR 2009)
a focus on community was the occasion for our second pechaKucha night held at the uptown Stage & Screen with presentations from architects, artists, an urban designer, urban planners, professors and community leaders.
pKn #3: Rebuild – a woRldwide benefit foR haiti (febRuaRy 2010)
glenbow museum donated space for the event and the teluS Convention Centre lent us a connection for the live internet broadcast of pKn presentations from all over the world to raise funds for haiti. over $3,300 was raised, contributing to a total of $75,000 and counting worldwide - enough to build an entire new school in haiti.
pKn #3.5: viSual StoRytelling (maRCh 2010)
this was a pKn of smaller proportions at the alberta College of art + design (aCad), where students gave pKn presentations as part of a class project.
pKn #4: SuCCeSS iS buRied in the gaRden of failuRe (may 2010)
Scheduled to take place at the pumphouse theatre, our “failure” pKn encourages presenters to talk about the importance of mistakes and struggle in their respective practices and lives as stepping- stones to success.
