Join us for our last 2021 PechaKucha at the CCA for VOL. 12 ARTIFACTS, as our presenter line-up muses on the meanings and roles of artifacts. When does something become an object of discovery? What are the qualities that make a material have substantive value? Is an artifact solely the evidence of existence or does it solicit us to reconsider history?

VOL. 11 BOUNDARIES commences our first live event of 2021 at CCA. Our presenters explore the real or imagined, handed down or self-imposed, boundaries that define our physical realities and internal landscapes.

This “chit-chat” flows from Maureo Fernandez y Mora’s presentation on their gender journey, to Erin English presenting her company’s portfolio on biophilic design, to Queen Bee Music Association sharing health benefits derived from learning music in a group context. Ultrarunner/photographer Rickey Gates closes out the night with his profound practice of transposing Vipassana meditation through the veins of each city he runs.

Set yourself adrift on an evening of thought-provoking and inspiring presentations from our Volume 10 Presenters—advocate Maureo Fernandez Y Mora, environmental engineer Erin English, music educators Brian Nelson and Lindsay Taylor, and ultra runner/photographer Rickey Gates.

Five presenters—designer Travis Fitch, painter Tom Martinelli, animators from Little Big Bang Studios, public defender Craig Hay, and cartographer Tim Wallace—share their work and process on RESOLUTION—how they create it, find it, or not find it, what they discover when they go beyond it.

Gather round as our co-hosts—Architect/FASF President Anthony Guida and Designer/ FASF VP Annette Prapasiri—welcome our Volume 8 Presenters—Psychiatrist Nancy Martin, Historic Preservationist Ke Vaughn Harding, Artist Nuttaphol Ma, Zooarchaeologist Victoria Monagle, Architect Ayumi Date, and Photographer Rich Frishman. Together we will wonder wayward into the realm of the dark and ponder the impact of its phantom presence.

Six presenters—photographer Richard Frishman, zooarcheologist Victoria Monagle, preservationist Ke Vaughn Harding, psychiatrist Nancy Martin, architect Ayumi Date, and artist Nuttaphol Ma, share their takes on what haunts us—how they have reconciled, rejected, or release their ghosts. Hosted by Architect/FASF President Anthony Guida and Designer/VP Annette Prapasiri.

Vol. 7 Profit is co-hosted by architect and FASF President Anthony Guida and Mark Dytham, the co-founder of PechaKucha and Klein Dytham Architect. Our presenters—ranging from heritage developer to nectar nomad, drystone mason, nonprofit architecture firm, manufacturer, urban planner, and creative director—share how they have invested and reaped the rewards. They challenge the current definition of profit and argue its significance, reframing the paradigm of wealth.

Join emcee, architect, and FASF President Anthony Guida, for a multi-faceted consideration of this contentious word—Profit.
