Japanese for “chit chat”, PechaKucha began as nighttime get-togethers in Tokyo in 2003. Since then, three million people have attended PechaKucha events worldwide.
The format is simple: each speaker gets to tell their story in 20 images, each for 20 seconds. For our inaugural PechaKucha, we’re highlighting women who’ve “taken the plunge”, from quitting their jobs, countries, and a whole lot more.
