HIGHLIGHTS · PECHAKUCHA NIGHT IN CHENGDU

The piece functions as a highlight and presentation video of the PechaKucha Night format, dynamically showing how a session unfolds: the rhythm of the presentations, the interaction between speakers and audience, and the creative atmosphere that defines this type of event. The video combines excerpts from the talks, audience reactions, and wide shots of the venue to convey the experience of the event in just a few minutes.

In this edition, held at the iconic Fangsuo Book Store in Chengdu, presenters included Penny Lee, Niels Monsieurs, Jimmy Jeh, and other guests, reinforcing the international and multidisciplinary nature of the event. The result is a short, dynamic piece designed both to document the session and to promote and give visibility to future PechaKucha events organized by About Asia.
