Now, PechaKucha for Teens
Eight teenagers from around the South Fork will be the presenters tomorrow at the Parrish Art Museum’s first Teen PechaKucha Night Hamptons.
PechaKucha Night, which originated in Tokyo as a way for young people to connect and talk about inspiring new ideas, has participants present 20 slides and discuss them in rapid-fire succession for 20 seconds each. According to the website pechakucha.org, more than 800 cities worldwide have held PechaKucha events since its inception in 2003.
The presenters tomorrow will be Karen Blandon and Lily McGintee from East Hampton High School, Tycho Burwell from the East Hampton Middle School, Claire Kunzeman and Leyla Dorph Lowrie from Pierson High School, Hudson Galardi Troy from Pierson Middle School, Chandler Littlejohn from the Ross School, and Indivi Bacon from Southampton High School.
Teen PechaKucha Night Hamptons will begin at 6 p.m. Admission is $10 and includes admission to the museum, although it is free for members, students, and children.
