PechaKucha Storytelling Comes to Bridgeport!

The name of this event sounds exotic and hip because it is! PechaKucha technically translates to "Chit-Chat", but that's somewhat misleading. It's a gathering of people each presenting for six minutes and forty seconds with 20 compelling photos or visuals shown 20 seconds each to make it succinct, inspiring, fun and/or funky.

Pechakucha 20x20 is coming to Bridgeport, CT on May 9th at 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM at the Barnum Museum located at 820 Main Street . Do you have a story to tell? What's your passion?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR Tellers to share authentic, possibly unexpected personal stories for the fun of it to spark new ideas and collaborations. Presenting a PechaKucha entitles you to have your slides and voice posted on an internationally viewed website and the opportunity to create exciting new connections between people in the real and digital audiences.
The first Pechakucha theme, a quote from P.T. himself, "The noblest art is that of making others happy!"
