PechaKucha Night - Volume 9 @ Ingenuity Fest 2010

Cost: Free and open to the public!

Japanese for “the sound of conversation,” this event features a succession of 14 speakers, each sharing new ideas about topics ranging from visual art, architecture, and technology to food, film, music, photography and furniture design through a vibrant 400 second long presentation (20 slides X 20 seconds each). The rapid-fire style keeps audiences engaged while breaking down barriers between different design communities. The goal is to expose and attract new talent and ideas, the foster existing creative community in an innovative platform, and incite meaningful collaborations among presenters and audience members.

PechaKucha, pronounced “Peh-chak-chah,” began in 2003 in Tokyo, Japan, when the Architecture firm Klein Dytham Architecture started holding design “show and tells” amoungst their own emplyees. The presentations last 400 seconds (20 slides x 20 seconds a slide) and presenters have NO choice but to continue moving as the slides advance. The style has spread virally to over 200 cities across the world as a way to have many presenters sharing their ideas within the course of one event.

AIGA Cleveland Presents: Learn Act

Cost: Free

Looking for an inspiration pick-me-up during these long, gray days of winter? Well, here’s your chance to get off the computer, crumple up that tired tri-fold, and learn some new techniques in folding and binding that will grab the attention of your audience.

Discover techniques that combine unique print design ideas with bookmaking forms, as well as the costs and parameters for making each piece a reality. This hands-on workshop is taught by local designer, educator and book artist Shawn Kathleen Simmons, and sponsored by Oliver Printing Company. Be prepared to play! We will provide all needed materials and folding tools.

Please bring your own cutting mat, cork-backed ruler and xacto knife with new blade (will be available in limited quantity if you do not have these items).

Sorry, this event has reached capacity.
