In December 2014, Small is Beautiful curated its own Pecha Kucha event at The Whisky Bond in Glasgow, produced by our partners at TAKTAL.

The theme of the evening was Practice, Money, Art.

If you're new to Pecha Kucha, it is a simple idea: each speaker presents 20 images for 20 seconds each, making talks that last just under 7 minutes. The event has gone viral with a huge online following and events in over 700 cities worldwide. It's a format that keeps things concise and moving at a rapid pace.

The event was hosted and supported by The Whisky Bond: a creative factory for Glasgow and and has become a hive of creativity and productivity across seven floors of studios, offices co-working and social spaces.

This event was produced by TAKTAL: an agency that produces creative projects and connects people with spaces. With roots in architecture, events and space management, the agency collaborate with artists, cultural organisations, property owners and national agencies, to initiate the creative use of space.
