Our Creative Lead, Daniel () went to the first in-person event since February 2020! Bringing together 10 speakers, including designers, illustrators, comedians, makers and changemakers, this year's PechaKucha challenge was all about 'change'. A tradition of the PechaKucha MCR events, these portraits were created by Daniel during the event.

It's amazing to get back to live events, especially ones where the community is so welcoming and the speakers offer such thought-provoking presentations. Ranging from stories of a very personal identity change to reframing the approach to sustainability, all talks are recorded and can be listened to over on the PechaKucha website under Manchester.

Rest in peace your Majesty.
