PECHAKUCHA: LABOR OF LOVE
Join us for an evening of fast-paced, heartfelt storytelling at JUMP’s very first PechaKucha Night. This global storytelling format brings together creatives, makers, and thinkers to share their passions through short, visually driven presentations.
The theme will be “Labor of Love.” Local storytellers, makers, and dreamers will take the stage to share their work, art, or ideas that drive them.
Pecha-what?
PechaKucha (Japanese for “chit chat”) is a lively presentation style where each presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds each. The slides advance automatically, creating a 6 minute and 40 second story that’s quick, visual, and engaging. No long lectures. No rambling. Just creative people sharing meaningful work in a fun, accessible way.
Come be inspired, meet your creative neighbors, and celebrate the passion behind the projects.
$10 admission | $5 for students
