Capitol Pecha Kucha #6 presents "Raising Global Awareness" edition on January 7, 2009 at The Resources and Conservation Center in Washington, DC, sponsored by Bisnow. Pecha Kucha is Japanese for "the sound of conversation" and is a very interesting execution of creative minds presenting their work in the confines of 20 images shown for 20 seconds per presenter. This method of presentation provides an atmosphere that will hold the interest of people that appreciate visual stimulation and creativity. It also urges the creative individual to use brevity on both the mic and the visuals. You can check out more info on the website, http://pecha-kucha.org/cities/washington-dc. You can also find them on Twitter!

Info as posted on the Facebook Event page:

Organized and launched in March 2007 by Rouzita and Bita Vahhabaghai of ita-design and Yiselle M. Santos Rivera, Capitol Pecha Kucha promotes local DC creatives working in all media including the visual arts, architecture, design, music, fashion, film, and literature. The Pecha Kucha Night patented presentation system allows presenters 20 images each shown for 20 seconds - giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. Talks are concise, the interest level is constant, and more presenters receive the opportunity to share their work.

Pecha Kucha --Japanese for the sound of conversation-- taps into a demand for a forum in which creative work can be easily and informally shown. The brainchild of Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, Klein Dytham architecture, Tokyo, began in 2003 as a forum for designers to meet, network, and show their current work to the public, and has since spread to over 150 cities across the world.
