Big Car is a partner the next exciting and meaningful PechaKucha event. Twenty seconds is all it took to destroy so many lives and dreams in Haiti. The Global PechaKucha family is coming together with Architecture for Humanity to help rebuild Haiti, 20 seconds at a time with PK events across the world on Feb. 20.
Beyond the usual excellent local PK presenters, the PK Indy event features beer donated by Sun King. So you can make a donation of $20 to help Haiti and drink some great local beer. The price of the beer is included in that donation. Tickets are available at the door. Find out more here.
Simultaneous Lectures on Feb. 24
7 p.m. at Central Library, free
Local cultural experts will simultaneously present short lectures with powerpoint on the topic of art and culture in Indianapolis and its role in the global scheme of things. Yes, these lecturers (in two groups of five) will present at the same time. These two rounds will be followed by a moderated discussion/conversation with the panelists and the audience.
Lecturers: Gautam Rao, Kelli Mirgeaux, Andy Fry, Craig McCormick, Michael Kaufman, Wil Marquez, Flounder Lee, Anna Landsman, John Clark and Richard McCoy. Moderated by Jim Walker and Michael Runge.
This is part of the IndyTalks series and is the first of Big Car's Made for Each Other events this winter and spring at Central Library in partnership with IMCPL and Know No Stranger.
We'd like this to help start some thought or continue some thought about the role of art now in our city and how that connects with the role of art in the world and how art in our city --and this is broad so it includes architecture, the internet, etc. -- connects us with the rest of the world in physical ways (people visit here, we visit there or move here or there) and in virtual ways via the internet.
Overall, this project relates to Big Car's love of spontaneity, improvisation, audience involvement, collaboration, experimentation and experiencing the joy that comes from creating a big, stressful mess and finding the happy accidents that can only come from that mess.
