PechaKucha 35 tonight at the Empire Theatre, San Antonio
PechaKucha, the global arts and culture series that hosts speakers in a unique format (20 slides, with each slide running for 20 seconds for a presentation totaling around six and a half minutes), will present Volume 35 tonight, Thursday, September 10, in San Antonio. This one takes place at Charline McCombs Empire Theatre, with a welcome reception that begins at 6:30 p.m., and the presentations starting at 7:30 p.m.
The six presenters who will make sure they don’t go over their six and a half minute slot (while getting their ideas across) include veteran San Antonio artist Jesse Amado, who Glasstire readers have read about here; Silvia Foster-Frau, who is the immigration reporter at the San Antonio Express-News; Gladys Karen Hernández, an education leader; Natalie Hinkel, a planetary astrophysicist; Karlos With a K, an entertainer; and Debbie Racca-Sittre, Arts & Culture Director of San Antonio. Emcees for the evening are WOAI NBC News Channel 4 San Antonio anchor Randy Beamer and Glasstire favorite, artist Gary Sweeney.
