To celebrate their PechaKucha Night Vol. 28 and the culmination of summer vacation, Kumamoto has made this colorful circus inspired poster to capture their upcoming PKN theme. For their PKN they are inviting half children and half adults to present their stories, highlighted by the man and boy both speaking under the PKN hat in the center of the poster, also putting them under the PKN Poster Spotlight for this week. This is a night not to miss!
