Devised in Tokyo by Klein Dytham Architecture, PechaKucha (the Japanese phrase for “the sound of chitchat”) started as a night for creative people to meet, network, and discuss their projects. The catch: each person gave a presentation containing only 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds, for a total presentation length of six minutes 40 seconds. These constraints challenged presenters to clarify their ideas and match each thought with the perfect image. More than 50 presentations have been given at Galway PechaKucha Nights to date on wide-reaching topics, from Restoring Castles to Shock Advertising to Hoovering In Space and everything in between.

Exploring notions of place, community, belonging, identity vs. media, youth culture, the ownership of public space and the links between the people that occupy it at different times of the day.
