About
The first ever Pecha Kucha Colombo was a fantastic success and Volume 2 will take place on the 23rd of October 2011 at the Warehouse Project in Maradana. Tickets are priced at only Rs. 100 and will be available at the gate.Pecha Kucha Colombo is an informal and fun gathering where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, and thoughts in the Pecha Kucha 20×20 format.
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat”, it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds, where 20 images are shown, each for 20 seconds.
With Pecha Kucha now happening in over 400 cities around the world we have discovered that most cities, not just in Colombo, have virtually no public spaces where people can show and share their work in relaxed way.

The atmosphere at the event is urban, chic, and chilled out with the warehouse space filled with relaxing benches, a beer Stand and a ‘Kade’ themed food stall. The focal point is the large screen where the presentations are made and what finally brings this evening together is the exposure of undiscovered creativity from all industries: arts, fashion, photography, and design.
Pecha Kucha Colombo is a non -profit initiative and all proceeds of each of the four events will be donated to a specifically selected charity.
