Pecha Kucha Night Brussels Vol.09 is taking place on Sept. 19th, 2009.

Unbelievable. Inacceptable. I discovered today that a political party is organizing a pechakucha, stealing the name & format.
Please note that PKN Brussels has nothing to do with the evening organized in Brussels on May 28th. There is no affiliation and we are trying to know who is organizing this evening.

PKN Brussels is organized by Alok Nandi, Architempo, as part of the Global PK activities with Astrid Klein, Mark Dytham and the PK HQ in Tokyo.
This abusive undertaking is simply unethical.

Pecha Kucha Brussels was featured on tv Brussel:

“Pecha Kucha is Japans voor blablabla. Op een pecha kucha-avond worden een vijftiental sprekers uitgenodigd om een korte presentatie te geven. Dat kunnen muzikanten, ontwerpers en fotografen zijn, maar ook bijvoorbeeld een filosoof. De mix is soms grappig én boeiend tegelijk. Wie het eens wil meemaken, moet vrijdagavond zeker naar het BIP, aan het Koningsplein. Aan het woord: Alok Nandi, organisator Pecha Kucha Brussel- do. 19-03-09″
