Well, let's start right at the beginning. PechaKucha was first devised in Tokyo back in February 2003 as an event for young designers to network and showcase their work in a public setting. Today, it is an evening celebrated across hundreds of cities worldwide.
Anyway, enough of the history lesson, let's talk about what PechaKucha exactly is. This entire event rests on a simple 20x20 presentation format. A highly curated set of speakers will each show 20 images, for 20 seconds each. The idea is simple - tell your story within 20 pictures.
This unique, informal meetup brings people together from all walks of life to share their works, thoughts and ideas and most importantly, their story in the 20x20 format.
So, let's get together and discover ideas, stories and talent from all corners of our beloved city of Mumbai over a couple of drinks.
