The next PechaKucha event I’m curating at the Hepworth is themed “Leftovers” with an open call for presentations:
Pecha Kucha Night Wakefield Vol. 8: Leftovers
The Hepworth Wakefield
Thursday 20th December 2012, 6:30-9:00pm (doors 6:00pm)
£3 entry | 01924 247360
Call for 20×20 presentations
Indulging in the excesses of the festive season, the eighth Pecha Kucha Night Wakefield is themed “Leftovers.” Presentations are sought in the 20 slides x 20 seconds format that respond to the idea of presented content as the “shallow-fried bubble and squeak” of your year. Scraps of thoughts, unused images, surplus projects and remainders of research are to be mashed up and loosely bound together in quick-fire presentations from anyone with visual and verbal excesses to share.
To apply:
1. Download the presentation proforma from
http://the-arthouse.org.uk/upload/file/pkn.ppt
2. Add your title page and 20 slides (no more, no less) without changing the preset timings.
3. Email your presentation to [email protected] including a brief outline/description of what you will be talking about, name, contact details and a short introduction about yourself.
4. Deadline: Monday 10 December 2012
Presenters can bring a +1 free entry. No fees or charges. Free parking available at the Hepworth for presenters. 10 minutes walk from Wakefield Kirkgate train station.
Short videos up to 6 minutes 40 seconds in duration fitting with the theme are also sought to be screened at the event. The videos must be your own work and/or you must obtain permission from the copyright holder to screen the work. Please send preview or download links to: [email protected] with the following details: Name, title, date of Production, duration, short synopsis, short biography, website.
Local musicians interested in performing short sets at the event are also invited to get in touch.
Curated by Alice Bradshaw for the Art House in collaboration with Hepworth Wakefield.
About Pecha Kucha Night: Pecha Kucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, the Pecha Kucha presentation format is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It’s a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.
