Pecha Kucha Night #17 in Vancouver, BC

28Jun11

Vancouver’s 17th Pecha Kucha Night, hosted at the Vogue theater downtown was an eye opening event.

The Zolas opened the event up with a great set, a band based out of Vancouver getting a lot of attention these days for their good music.

This perticular event was a special edition based on westcoast modernism, a specific style of architecture featured throughout Vancouver’s populated landscape. Each of the speakers represented a slightly different dynamic and view on what it means, and I felt that it really was a very stimulating experience to see what people are doing, what people have done, and what people feel about how it represents their culture.
