PechaKucha night Chicago

On April 16, PechaKucha Chicago is participating in a special event to support our friends in Japan. in partnership with PechaKucha Champaign-Urbana, Martyrs' and Architecture For Humanity, we will host a one time all ages, family PechaKucha as part of a global awareness event.

INSPIRE JAPAN

On the March 11, Japan suffered what has been described as a 1000 year event. The earthquake and tsunami destroyed 400km of coastline, killing over 10,000 people, leaving 400,000 people homeless, and has triggered a nuclear situation that is still unfolding.

Japan has inspired designers for many generations, Japan is where the "PechaKucha 20 images x 20 seconds" show-and-tell event format was born, and it has gone on to inspire designers to get together in 400 cities around the world, to share their creativity at more than 1000 events each year.

Japan has inspired us all, now is it our turn to "Inspire Japan."

Please plan on joining the PechaKucha family during the afternoon on April 16 at Martyrs' and be a part of Global PechaKucha Day - Inspire Japan. Let's all come together and show Japan that the creative world is thinking of them, that all is not lost, and that it is possible to stand up and rebuild, even in villages and towns which have been completely destroyed. With creativity and passion, anything is possible.

THINK / PARTICIPATE / DONATE / INSPIRE
