REUSE 3.0 will be hosted at The Avenues, Parking Lot D9, from the 7th to the 9th of December and will feature a dynamic mix of original artistic works by professionals, artists, students, and youth in general. The exhibition will be open to the public from 6pm to 9pm in addition to an allocated time for primary school student trips during the hours of 9am to 1pm.

Pecha Kucha Kuwait 3



n
Ayer atendi a Pecha Kucha Night de Kuwait, y tuve el orgullo y satisfacción de hacer una presentacion sobre las calles de kuwait, con fotos de este blog.
Presente junto a otros pecha-kuchas muy interesantes:

Farah Behbehani
Dana Al-Hasan
Fareed Abdal
Loaay Ahmed
Teddy B
Abd Al-rahman Al-Terkait

LA verdad es que fue una noche interesante,
se respiro un airecillo de cultura,
además habia una banda con musica en vivo que amenizaban la noche.
Gracias a la organizadora Asseel Al-Ragam
Espero que el proximo pecha kucha sea igual o mejor que este.

Unas frases robadas......

Me da vértigo el punto muerto
y la marcha atrás.
Vivir en los atascos.
Los frenos automaticos
y el olor a Gasoil.

Me angustia el cruce de miradas,
la doble dirección de las palabras
y el obsceno guiar de los semáforos.

Me arruinan las prisas
y las faltas de estilo,
el paso obligatorio.
Las tardes de Domingo
y hasta la línea reca.

Me enervan los que no tienen dudas.
Y aquellos que se aferran a sus ideales...

...son los de cualquiera.

Me cansa tanto trafico,
y tanto sinsentido,
parado frente al mar
mientras el mundo gira.
