This Month's Theme: Elephant in the Room
Some things are too big to ignore, and yet we try. This month, we’re tackling the Elephant in the Room—shining a light on the hidden, the uncomfortable, and the unavoidable. Join us to explore what happens when we name it, claim it, and confront it head-on.
- What issues do our communities need to confront but haven't yet?
- How can art bring attention to the unspoken or overlooked?
- What truths have you embraced that set you free?
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.
What is PechaKucha?
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.
