PechaKucha Night Hamptons Vol. 35
Special edition with high school students and art educators
March 25, 2022, 6 pm - 7:30 pm
TICKETS LIVESTREAM
Join high school students and art educators featured in the 2022 Student Exhibition from schools across the East End as they present their work and passion during a special PechaKucha Night.
As the official site for the Hamptons, the Parrish joins over 700 cities globally in hosting PechaKucha Nights, named for the sound of “chit-chat” in Japanese. The format is simple: each invited presenter gets 20 images x 20 seconds per image to talk about living creatively. This is a great opportunity to establish new relationships, learn about local resources, and hear from the many creatives who call Long Island home.
Participants: Shelter Island School teacher Catherine Brigham and student Margaret Schultheis; Southampton High School teacher Pamela Collins and student Talus Pinto; Bridgehampton School teacher Robin Gianis and students Luna Paucar and Pearl Ann V. Cherry Brown; and East Hampton High School teacher Margaret Zubarriain with student Kym Bermeo.

Luna Paucar is a junior at the Bridgehampton High School whose interests include design and ceramics. This year, she contributed to the design portions of Student Council, National Honor Society, Culture Club, and the Robotics team. Paucar’s favorite subjects are Marimba and art, and she shares these talents with friends and family from Honduras and Ecuador. By combining her culture, Marimba, and art, Paucar’s goal is to attend the Rhode Island School of Design.
One of Pearl Ann V. Cherry Brown’s favorite classes is studio art, and she especially loves to make props out of cardboard. She spends much of her time drawing, and her hobbies include crafting and listening to music.
