A spokesperson said, “PechaKucha Bermuda is hosting its 30th edition on Saturday, February 20, 2021, with short, dynamic, powerful presentations starting at 6:00 PM. Three Bermudian creatives – Cushi Ming, Sara Westhead and Ashley Aitken – will represent our island on the global stage during a record-setting, 24-hour, online-around-the-world event: International PechaKucha Day 2021.

“International PechaKucha Day features passionate people from every corner of the globe coming together to share what they LOVE. Black Self-Love, Educational Technology and Flow Arts are Bermuda’s three topics at 6:00 PM local time (AST), during #IPK2021 Hour 20 of 24.

“The format for PechaKucha Presentations is simple; 20×20. That means 400 seconds of fast-flowing optical enjoyment, coinciding with 6 mins 40 seconds of narration to complement the visuals, as 20 slides flash on the screen for 20 seconds each. New, super speedy 10×10 and 10×20 presentations will also be featured.

“February 20th is a special day on the “PK” calendar, as it’s PechaKucha Global’s birthday, and is Bermuda’s second time participating in International PechaKucha Day. PechaKucha Bermuda is excited to join cities in all 24 time zones and to commemorate 30 editions of broadcasting our local creativity to the world.
