THE FOUNDRY
PechaKucha is a network event for creatives, taking place in over 800 cities all over the world. The mission is to inspire, uplift and entertain different audiences. The concept is simple, each creative gets to show 20 pictures, talking about each image for 20 seconds.
The pictures advance automatically and allow the presenter to talk along the pictures. This is a way of sharing ideas, thoughts, work, or pretty much anything.
Five selected creatives who have prepared pictures specifically for this event, shared their ideas and their work with the audience.
