Pecha Kucha


This is a great evening of talks from creatives and artists, held at the Konex centre every couple of months.

Pecha Kucha night originates from Japan, with the idea of getting a group of creatives together to talk through 20 images with 20 seconds allowed for each.
The evening provides a brilliant forum for creatives to talk about their work to a wider audience and is a great showcase for creative work in Argentina.

The speakers are always very well known Argentinian figures. At the past couple I've been to, I've seen the wonderfully eccentric visual artist Marta Minujin and Pablo Del Campo, one of the top advertising creatives in the world.

Obviously it's a bit difficult to follow the discussion of abstract ideas if, like me, your Spanish is pretty terrible. But nevertheless, it's a great introduction into the cultural world of BsAs and Argentina.
