Time to get our Pecha Kucha on folks!
In case you’ve forgotten what Pecha Kucha is, you can read our previous blog posts here and check out the Facebook page here.
So yes, in a nutshell: 1 evening. 9 presenters. 20 slides. 20 seconds per slide.
Exchange of ideas. Panel discussion. Fun times.
Oh and one more thing – it’s in the park! PK in the Park!
So, who are the speakers this time you might ask?
First up we’ve got Laurent Frangie, talking about a little thing called #Movember.
Then there’s Johnny Kennaugh from the Sameness Project, talking about, well, The Sameness project!
Then there’s Alamira Reem, an Abu Dhabi based PhD student who’s passionate about cities, and the way that we experience and interact with them.
Followed by Steffi Bow, a Dubai based graffiti artist, who has certainly found a way to interact with her city!
Then there’s Zahra Soar (you may have caught her show on Dubai Eye) who started the UAE’s Rock Camp for Girls!
Followed by Tamer Nahas, founder of BOLDtalks…
P.s The next BOLDtalks event is actually on the same morning at 10 am! Check it out here. It’s going to be one busy day for Tamer this Saturday!
Then we have Leila Ben-Gacem, here to talk to us about Sougha, where Emirati ladies get to use their own skills and crafts to create desirable fashion items.
Followed by Sophie Chamas, who’s going to tell us a little bit about Mashallah News, a collective of 6 writers, telling stories untold from the region.
And finally, we end with Zeina, a poet. A highly excitable, enthusiastic poet.
So that’s our round up of presenters this PK!
Make sure you are there by 7:30 pm as the talks will begin at 20:20 SHARP!
And don’t make plans for right after as we will have a Q&A session/panel discussion right afterwards so you ask the presenters all those burning questions you have about their presentations.
See you on the grass!
