Pecha Kucha Birmingham

And here's what they had to say about themselves!

James Rock

James is a Birmingham based business and service designer with a talent for abductive thinking - which is why he is sometimes described as a "maverick" and/or "a bit of a dreamer". He is a YES man… i.e. when someone says NO James believes this is merely an invitation to prove them wrong!  He has a talent for producing things, and is constantly inquisitive about the world and its people. He is passionate about many things in life, and unafraid to jump in at the deep-end of new experiences - often making a big splash! He has tried to escape Birmingham several times only to return again, leading him to think that the centre of Earths gravitational force lies somewhere under Victoria Square…

John Kirriemuir

John is a shambrarian (go look it up) who wanders across Europe and the USA in search of good coffee, wifi, pizza and libraries. He has never taken driving lessons though oddly has flown a crop sprayer and driven a combine harvester and tractor. Though from a farm near Evesham, he is ancestrally rooted in the Kingdom of Smethwick. He owns 14 games consoles and even more library cards. John ranks the highlight of his life as high-fiving Nelson Mandela and not being beaten up by the security guards immediately afterwards. Of the nine relationships he has enjoyed in the last 26 years, seven have been with qualified librarians; but more on this at the Pecha Kucha...

Steff Worthington

Steff. J Worthington, graphic artist and cartographer. Keen interest in history, design, early and celtic music, and mistakenly believes he can play the harp. He is the chairperson of 'Words Behind Walls', Chester's creative circle and spends his free time pondering the great questions of the universe such as 'how do womens handbags bend space/time?', 'why dont we see baby pigeons?', & 'jordan; why?'

Donato Esposito

 
From the man who brought the long lost ancient word of Bostin back into mainstream modern vocabulary - well at least in parts of Birmingham, The Black Country and Australia - will be presenting on his take on passion.
