The first PechaKucha event in Ghana, last week enchanted a capacity audience with rapid- paced verbal and pictorial presentations at the Goethe-Institut in Accra. \u00a0<\/p>\n
In a friendly atmosphere, Sakut Amenga-Etego (Writer \/ Journalist), Akosua Osei-Appaw (Development Planner \/ Photographer), Ama Asantewa Diaka (Writer \/ Poet) and Gifty Achira (Webster University MBA Student) among others, freely shared ideas, stories and experiences based on their lives.<\/p>\n
\n
PechaKucha 20×20 is a simple presentation format where one shows 20 images, each for 20 seconds while talking about the images.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Undeniably, good PechaKucha presentations are the ones that uncover the unexpected talent and ideas. Some PechaKuchas tell great stories about a project or a trip while others are incredibly personal and funny.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Topics ranging from a career as a visual artist, holidays in the Maldives, life as a female photographer, experiences as an obese child, engagements of a poet and experiences as a foreign student in Chile among others, attracted the attention of the audience, who were completely immersed in the simplicity of PechaKucha. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clad in northern Ghanaian traditional wear, Amenga-Etego showed images of needy children that he tries to assist alongside photos from his village in the Upper East region, his forays into politics and general work as a writer\/journalist.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gifty Achiba, presented images that probably no one in the audience had ever seen: images from the Indian Ocean Island of Maldives, which included pristine beaches, a variety of boats, way of living by locals, tour guides and heritage buildings.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Writer\/Poet, Ama Diaka, took the audience into her won world of creativity with striking insights to her work as a writer, poet and greeting cards designer. With a calculated voice, Diaka narrated the joys and difficult moments of the creative process.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Refreshing jazz, soul and highlife music from the Heritage Band led by William Bonsu interspersed the event, which was organised by PechaKucha Ghana and the Goethe-Institut in Accra.<\/p>\n
