Event Information
Description
PechaKucha Night Manchester Vol. 28 - 'Rebellion'
For our third PechaKucha night of 2019 we're heading over to People's History Museum to be part of their monthly Radical Lates series! As ever, we will be bringing 10 creatives to take on the PechaKucha challenge: to present on a topic using 20 images, with only 20 seconds per image. No stopping.
The theme of this event is 'Rebellion'. 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo Massacre, a key moment in Manchester's history and the fight for greater democracy and representation in Britain. We were inspired by those actions to tell stories of rebellion, resistance and protest; from people who challenge the status quo to those working hard to ensure that we remember the struggles that have got us to where we are today.
We’ll hear from an eclectic mix of speakers from the worlds of graphic design, politics and community engagement! Plus we'll have a workshop on creative lettering run by Loz Ives of Idle Letters!
WARNING: Tickets go mega quickly, so act fast to get yours! Also, note the slightly earlier start and finish times. Finally, we will be looking to video and audio record the event. If you have any concerns about being filmed, please get in touch.
