Date:

02/20/2010 - 5:20pm - 9:20pm

SDAF, along with the local chapter of Architecture For Humanity, Rebuild San Diego, are participating in a PechaKucha Global Day for Haiti. The event will take place on February 20, 2010 at the Whistle Stop Bar, 2236 Fern Street in South Park, and will be webcast worldwide for 10 minutes between 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. in a unique “WAVE” presentation.

In response to the catastrophic magnitude 7 earthquake that tore the country apart, the global PechaKucha family is coming together with Architecture for Humanity to lend a hand in rebuilding Haiti. The global event will stick to its now famous presentation format: 20 images, 20 seconds – but will be taking place in 200 cities, generating 2,000 presentations and more than 200,000 spectators simultaneously.

As official chapter of the Tokyo-based, International Pecha Kucha Night™ organization, SDAF is pleased to be organizing this event with Rebuild San Diego, and will webcast a presentation by Rebuild’s Managing Director, Sandra Plaza. Additional presenters include Josh Higgins of the Haiti Poster Project, and Professor Larry Herzog, Ph.D. Join us at 5:20 for live music performances including Chad Farran & Friends and Soul Choro. Presentations will begin around 8:00 p.m., and the entire event will be peppered with mini presentations by many special guests throughout the evening!

A $20 donation is requested at the door. All proceeds to benefit PechaKucha for Haiti Fund, from which all proceeds go directly to Architecture for Humanity 501(c) and will be used solely to build buildings. Design work has already been paid for by donations.
