CULTURE
What: PechaKucha Night
When: Tonight, 7: 30-11: 30 p.m.
Where: Victoria Event Centre
Tickets: $12
Why: Drawn from the Japanese term for "chit-chat," PechaKucha began as a way for young designers in Tokyo to meet and share their work.
Presenters show 20 images for 20 seconds each, making for fast-paced learning and entertainment. Nearly a decade later, the concept has spread across the globe to 581 cities. The 11th volume in Victoria features designer Jenny Ambrose, theatre-maker Matthew Payne, "musical wunderkind" Aidan Knight, MetaLab founder Andrew Wilkinson, photographers Bryan Van Wyk and Iain Russell, CBC Radio's Khalil Akhtar, "fun maker" Mike Roma and filmmaker Bryan Skinner.
