Pecha Kucha Night

Melanie Maganias, one of the country's top wedding photographers offers a photographic valentine portraying her love for Montana cowboys and Shannon Faunce teases us with the story of "How I Met Your Father" at the next Pecha Kucha Night at the Ellen Theatre, Tuesday Feb. 13 and Wednesday Feb. 14. Both shows start at 6:40 p.m. and feature the same presenters.

Doug Wales, a musician and former director of marketing and public relations at Bridger Bowl for 28 years, shares his love affair with Cuban music and details a remarkable project to develop an intercultural relationship between Cuban and US musicians.

Jelani Mahiria, another musician, and MSU assistant teaching professor, will describe his love of the West Boulder Valley and the role of place in anchoring self-love. Perhaps no one has a greater sense of place than retired architect George Mattson, who will reprise an audience favorite, "Growing up in Yellowstone."

Artist and river guide Kelsey Dzintars, whose sister Alexa was killed by a drunk driver while she was biking home from work five years ago, will share with us how her art and love of nature helped her survive the heart-wrenching loss.

Native Montanan Paul Borash will describe the joys and challenges of his nontraditional path in which he has focused on having "agency" over his own life by doing things that at first seemed impossible.

Anna Stone, a lefthander in a right-handed universe, will present on "Left, Right and Wrong: How Handedness Shapes Our World."

In her presentation, "From the Ground Up: A Life Transformed by Nature," Naomi Scott explores the life-giving connection between soil and well-being—how the health of the soil is inextricably linked to our physical and mental health.
