My Off Consumption Talk at Pecha Kucha Tonight
Welcome back to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my feed now and you'll never miss a single post!
I’ll be talking about my now abandoned off consumption experiment at Pecha Kucha today evening.
Pecha Kucha Night was conceived by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in Japan in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It is now an extremely popular event across 110 locations worldwide.
Basically, each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each. Tonight’s event has a lineup of some rather cool speakers –
- Antje Kharchi (Associate Professor, Corcoran College of Art + Design)
- Ayo Okunsiende, Adrian Loving and Eric Brewer (Dissident Display –
Multimedia Design Studio)
- Christiana Aretta (Photographer)
- Anya Pinchuk (Jewelry Designer of Jewelers Werk)
- Ali Herischi (Lawyer/Artist/Photographer)
- John Athayde (Meticulous)
- Harry Chun (Corcoran Fine Arts Photography Student)
- Marc Ross (Creative Director + Furniture Designer, Spectrum West Collection)
- Marielle Mariano (East Coast Coordinator of CHALK4PEACE, Inc.)
- Gaurav Mishra (The Marketer Who Went Off Consumption)
The event starts at 7 pm, and ends at 10 pm. The venue is Coracoran Gallery of Art and there’s no entry fees. Do come.
