Last year's Pecha Kucha Night (from patrianapatrick's Flickr page)
One of the world's more buzzed-about design events, Pecha Kucha Night returns to Kuala Lumpur for the sixth time on 31 March as part of KL Design Week, with DJ Blastique of Box Frenzy (previously B4C) spinning.
Pecha Kucha Night originated in 2003 in Japan and is now held in more than 170 cities around the world. Presenters give a slideshow of 20 images, each shown for only 20 seconds—giving a total presentation time of six minutes, 40 seconds. This year's KL instalment will feature British Council’s inaugural International Young Design Entrepreneur Awards 2008 finalists Nathalie Fallaha (Lebanon), Nancy Chen (Taiwan) and Heath Nash (South Africa) together with some of Malaysia's more cutting edge design peeps.
