PechaKucha Night PVD #201 - Spill The Tea

Laugh, learn, and get inspired by a mix of people from Providence as they share their ideas, stories, and creations using the PechaKucha format of 20 images that last 20 seconds each. Named best event in Rhode Island by RI Monthly!

250 years ago, Rhode Islanders gathered in Market Square to burn tea in protest, an act of rebellion that helped spark a revolution. This June, we return to that same spot to Spill the Tea. From gossip to resistance, revelation to real talk, we’re leaning into the stories that stir things up.

• What stories from your community deserve to be remembered and retold?
• How do you use storytelling to challenge, reveal, or disrupt?
• When has the truth set you free?

Doors open at 7:20pm and presentations kick off at 8:20pm.

PechaKucha Providence is built and sustained by our community.

Thank you to our venues, vendors, and volunteers make this magic happen each month. Thank you to the Providence Tourism Council for supporting us in spreading the word about what we do.

If you haven't heard of this global yet unpronounceable phenomenon, PechaKucha is a monthly format for sharing ideas in which presenters are allotted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide. Simply put: it's 6 minutes and 40 seconds of show and tell for grown-ups. It began in Tokyo in 2003, has since spread to over 1,200 cities worldwide, and first landed in Providence in March of 2009. To the best of our knowledge, Providence is the only chapter in the entire world that hosts a PechaKucha Night every month of the year.
