  • Resident Artist Pecha Kucha

    Crosstown Arts East Atrium 1350 Concourse Avenue, Memphis, TN, United States

    Crosstown Arts resident artists will deliver talks in the Pecha Kucha format.

    The key to Pecha Kucha is the 20×20 format: all presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each, making each presentation concise and dynamic. If you’re wondering what “Pecha Kucha” means, it draws its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chit chat.”
