From the event organizers:
What is
public art?
Who makes it?
Who does it benefit?
Why should I care?
What is
PechaKucha?
Answer all of these questions on
Friday, November 14 at 7 PM, when
PechaKucha Night returns to Asheville.
Wait….
PechaKucha? Is that a word?!
PechaKucha means “chit-chat,", and a PechaKucha Night is an opportunity for creative people to “chit-chat” with you, the audience, by sharing 20 images, each for 20 seconds.
In over 700 cities around the world, PechaKucha Nights offer an evening for people to show and share their work in a relaxed way, in a space fit for thinking and drinking (yup…
there’s beer too!).
That space is the
entire 6th floor of the BB&T building in downtown Asheville, that evening is
November 14th, that work is all about
public art, and those people are local
artists, critics, architects, film-makers, and students.
Yes…you read correctly. The
BB&T building. That big polarizing tower of steel and glass rests in the hands of Asheville’s creative community on
November 14th, and we’ll be using the
entire 6th floor for PechaKucha Night.
And yes,
there will be adult beverages and a long intermission so that you may mingle…perhaps even chit-chat…with both the presenters and your fellow attendees. At PechaKucha Night,
this is the most important part, so that at the end of the night, the work and ideas make their way down those six floors and back into the community.
So….
what now?
