PechaKucha Night is a Helsinki Design Week classic.
Fast-paced PechaKucha builds upon the idea of a Tokyo-based architects’ office Klein Dytham: the speakers are allowed to use only 20 images and only 20 seconds to talk about each image. There’s a lot you can say in just 6 minutes and 40 seconds. During the nearly 20 years of HDW, we have heard amazing and inspiring talks about gardens, typography, climate crisis, spas, traffic signs, new materials, structural racism and trendy desserts, for example. We’ll hear interesting notes from specialists of different fields during this year’s Helsinki Design Week.
This PechaKucha Night will be held mainly in Finnish.
Tickets (€20/10) are selling fast, get yours now!
Access to the church hall is accessible through the main church doors.
