So went out in the pouring rain tonight to a great event called Pecha Kucha. basically consisted of 11 speakers showing 20 slides and talking for 6.5 minutes each so a whirlwind of ideas, creativity and thoughts. Was held in Samoa House on KRd which I finally know is the strange building you can see in Beresford Square.
my favourites:
Amazing glass mosaics by Samoan artist Penehuro Papalii which are all for sale for a mere $2,000 which if you see their size and beauty is a steal.
crazy talk by a french artist Ariel living in Berlin about minor urban disasters

local plug for a guy who makes robots out of retro electrical waste pretty quirky and a nice slant on sustainability and recycling.

And a talk by heritage walk guide about the history of kRd
to be honest though all talks were interesting and offered something interesting.
