Pecha Kucha Night at Bernheim with Julia Oldham and Karen Gillenwater, $5 per person
Drawing its name from the Japanese sound for “chit-chat”, PechaKucha nights encourage exciting but short lectures. Bernheim will gather 10 creative presenters and give each a mere 400 seconds to present a visual idea under the theme “Mother Nature told me to tell you this…” Each participant then gets 20 slides at 20 seconds each to wow you with a story. Sound fun? It is.
September 11, 5:52 – 9:52 pm :
CONNECT at Bernheim, $5 suggested donation per person
CONNECT: a collision of art, music, science and technology at night, a creative dialogue between artists, scientists, naturalists, lunatics, sustainability advocates and progressive thinkers, all gathered in nature. The effect will ripple beyond the effort. Projected images, fire sculptures, experimental music, food, beer and music. You get the picture. Be there.
