Pecha Kucha Night, devised and shared by Klein Dytham architecture, was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
Pecha Kucha. Say it to yourself. You’re probably saying it wrong. What is it? Pecha Kucha is a series of presentations consisting of 20 slides at 20 seconds per slide. The event, started in Tokyo, has branched into many cities world-wide and Tacoma is one of ‘em. This December 2nd, 2009, Tacoma will be hosting its 3rd-ever Pecha Kucha event at The Harmon Hub Gallery located at 203 Tacoma Avenue South.
The event begins at 5:30pm and features nine awesome presenters. Included in the list are Poet Laureate of Tacoma, Antonia Edwards, and The Melon’s very own, Electric Elliot (yeah, that’s me).
The theme for this session of Pecha Kucha is “Work”.
The Melon filmed the last session of Pecha Kucha in Tacoma. Our shoots can be found here.

Included in the bunch is Poet Laureate Antonio Edwards, former Poet Laureate Bill Kupinse, recently published Tammy Robacker and, The Melon’s own, Electric Elliot.
Join some of the greatest poets in Tacoma in one of Tacoma’s greatest venues.
Tacoma is Antonio Edwards city. After 25 years, he can’t think of living anywhere else and as Poet Laureate of Tacoma is determined to helping transform the City of Destiny into the bustling arts scene foreseen by prophecies.
The Melon sat down with Antonio to discuss his art, his message and his accomplishments as Poet Laureate. Listen for a presentation of his poem “Hilltopia” at the end of our interview.
