PechaKucha Night PVD #185 - Practice

Laugh, learn, and get inspired by a mix of people from Providence as they share their ideas, stories, and creations using the PechaKucha format of 20 images that last 20 seconds each. Named best event in Rhode Island by RI Monthly!

We're two months in, and wondering how those New Year's resolutions are going? Afterall, practice makes perfect...right? Join us, and our friends at the Awesome Foundation Rhode Island, to explore the beauty, grit, and resolve of practice in all its forms.

• What practices bring people together and foster connection?
• How has practice shaped your growth as a creative?
• What rituals or routines have defined your path?

Doors open at 7:20pm and presentations kick off at 8:20pm.

PechaKucha Providence is built and sustained by our community.

Thank you to our venues, vendors, and volunteers make this magic happen each month. Thank you to the Providence Tourism Council for supporting us in spreading the word about what we do.

Awesome Foundation Rhode Island is a local chapter of Awesome Foundation. AFRI issues a single $1,000 monthly gift in support of awesome ideas in, and of benefit to Rhode Island. AFRI has funded things like a theatre project in a home for the elderly, a queer DIY fitness program, the restoration of a meadow, feminist horror writing, and a youth-led civil rights conference.

Born from the pandemic, the Providence Drum Troupe is a dynamic, diverse band of musicians and performers who demonstrate that living in harmony is not an antiquated notion! The Troupe is a 501(c)(3) comprising of 30+ performers and giant puppetry with fantastical costuming. Learn more here!

If you haven't heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, PechaKucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Simply put: it's 6 minutes and 40 seconds of show and tell for grown-ups. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to over 1,200 cities worldwide, and first landed in Providence in March of 2009. To the best of our knowledge, Providence is the only chapter in the entire world that hosts a PechaKucha Night every month of the year.
