PechaKucha Night Vol. 28: AWE

This edition of PechaKucha Night Santa Fe invites our community into the vast, shimmering terrain of awe—those moments that humble us, expand us, and return us to ourselves.

From the hidden underground networks of mycelium quietly remaking our world to the unexpected wisdom of a pig, from dreamworld metamorphosis to the punctuation marks that mirror our inner lives, VOL. 28 AWE carries us—through the exhilarating PechaKucha format (20 slides × 20 seconds)—into the many forms wonder takes, both the beautiful and the terrifying.

Across nine perspectives—scientific, spiritual, poetic, civic, and deeply personal—our presenters explore the ways awe shapes how we heal, create, imagine, and belong to one another. The night features: Reese Baker, Nancy Conrad, Monique Derfuss, Mani Garcia, Janine Johnston, Anemone Mars, Victoria Rabinowe, Rebecca “Puck” Stair, and Katy Yanda.

The evening will be co-hosted by CrSF Executive Director Sorakamol Prapasiri and CrSF Creative Fellow Max Neutra, and will close with a luminous audience-choir moment led by Sonja Bruzauskas—lifting our voices together in a shared blessing to welcome the new year.

Doors open at 5:30 PM. Event begins at 6 PM.
$20 per attendee | $10 per student attendee.

Proceeds support Creative Santa Fe, The Lensic, and PechaKucha.
