PechaKucha Vol. 50: A 50-Year Vision

Presented in partnership with Civic Design Center
PechaKucha Nashville Vol. 50: A 50-Year Vision is part of an event series looking to the past, present, and future to explore the impact of The Plan of Nashville twenty years after its publication. PechaKucha presenters will consider such questions as: Is The Plan‘s vision actually feasible to accomplish in 50 years? What present-day developments have gone farther than we could have imagined? If we were to redo The Plan of Nashville today, what ideas would be impossible to ignore? Nashville’s present context is vastly different from the Nashville of 2005, so we must check in and evaluate the 50-year vision now even as we look the future.

Presenters will be announced soon! This PechaKucha is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Avenues to a Great City.

About PechaKucha
Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of “chitchat,” PechaKucha rests on a presentation format based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It‘s a format that makes presentations concise and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It grew into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities and inspiring creatives worldwide. The Civic Design Center is the Nashville host.

Free for FAM and Civic Design Center members; $20 for not-yet-members
