Pecha Kucha Night Vol.13 was opening the Humane Cities Festival - for the programme, check Human Cities Festival

Pecha Kucha, which is Japanese for the sound of conversation (bla bla), is a series of show-and-tell evenings for designers, architects, artists and creatives, started by Klein Dytham architecture in Tokyo in 2003 and now in 300 and plus cities worldwide. The Brussels edition is launched and organised by Alok Nandi, Architempo, as part of {creativity*conversation} series. It attracts a wide audience. The 13th PK opened the Human Cities Festival. The 12th PK took place under Gare Central Station. The 11th PK was at Kaaitheater. The 10th PKN was part of Post-Flux at Bozar. The 9th Pecha Kucha Brussels took place at Recyclart, on Sept. 19 at 20:20, in connection with the Design September programme.

The concept: each speaker has 6 minutes 40 sec. for a presentation in 20 images. Each image is on screen for only 20 seconds. No more, no less.
20 images x 20 seconds each. Tempo, story, tension, show-and-tell.
