The Creative Research Pecha Kucha returns for Qatar Week 2025, bringing together faculty from VCUarts Richmond and VCUarts Qatar to showcase the breadth of creative inquiry across our two campuses.

This lively event highlights the meaningful research and projects developed within the School of the Arts, spanning diverse domains and disciplines. Faculty will share forthcoming initiatives, recently completed works, and long-term research objectives in the fast-paced Pecha Kucha format: 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide, 6 minutes and 40 seconds per presentation.
