PechaKucha Nelson and the Theatre Royal bring you an informative and entertaining evening of presentations from a range of speakers with a Tuku 24 flavour.

PechaKucha (Japanese term for "chit-chat") is a storytelling format where presenters show 20 slides for 20 seconds each. It is non-stop, with each presenter having 400 seconds to tell their story, keeping it concise and fast-paced.

For this event, we will let our customers pick their price, but they have to be quick to snatch up the cheapest options. There will be a limited number of tickets priced at $5.

Who is the Māori elite? - I am! that’s right, me: Hori.

Join Māori elitist/artist Hori in this political satire piece as he tries to answer all the questions around Māori elitism or so called “treatyist”. Not inspired by this year’s anti co-governance tour, Hori has decided to do a tour of his own “The Māori Elite Tour”. This is a follow up chat to his M9 Speech earlier this year.

In his hour-long tongue-in-cheek presentation, Hori will speak to 5 art pieces he has created around the co-governance debate. The purpose is not to pour gasoline on the “Hate tour” but to create our own ahi or fire (& blaze that shit up), to offer more of a Māori comedic perspective to the kaupapa/subject.

Each Hori-rious night will begin at 6.30pm with drinks and kai , and at 7.30pm Hori will speak for an hour,  clothing and artworks will be available. So come and have a kai and kōrero at one of the 10 elite shows across the motu/country.

Pick your price option: $15, $20 or $25

'Ramsay to Renoir' is a fundraiser for Life Linc; a charitable organisation that provides very low cost professional counselling to couples and individuals within Nelson and Tasman.

Using live models wearing historically accurate recreations of garments from famous paintings, from Ramsay's portrait of Queen Charlotte to Renoir's portrait of the actress Jeanne Samary, historian Leimomi Oakes will explore the intersection between art and fashion, and the secret messages coded into paintings through the clothing depicted.

Leimomi is an internationally renowned costumer & fashion historian. She specialises in recreating historical fashions using period accurate techniques, and in exploring the way historical events and societal mores influenced, and were influenced by, fashion and textiles.

Leimomi's talks are informative and entertaining, and have been delivered to audiences at Government House in Wellington, Old Government House in Sydney, as well as at numerous museums, including Te Papa.
