Teen PechaKucha

The Parrish Art Museum will have a teen edition of its popular PechaKucha talks on Friday, March 25, featuring high school art educators and students from East Hampton, Bridgehampton, Southampton, and Shelter Island discussing the museum’s 2022 Student Exhibition, which opened last weekend. Participants deliver rapid-fire illustrated presentations — each just six minutes and 40 seconds.

Participants will include, from East Hampton, Margaret Zubarriain, a drawing, painting, and sculpture teacher whose background includes work as an intern prop builder for the Jim Henson Company, set painting for Women’s Expressive Theater in New York, and murals in the Bronx, Manhattan, and at Gurney’s Resort in Montauk, and Kym Bermeo, a senior and “Latinx queer artist” who is a member of Guild Hall’s Teen Arts Council. Representing Bridgehampton will be Robin Gianis, a teacher and ceramic artist, Luna Paucar, a junior interested in design and ceramics, and Pearl Ann V. Cherry Brown, who “likes to make props out of cardboard,” according to the museum.

The presenters from Shelter Island will be Catherine Brigham, an art teacher with an art and design degree from Pratt Institute, and Margaret Schultheis, an 11th grader who is interested in illustration and tattooing. Representing Southampton will be Pamela Collins, a teacher who has an M.F.A. in painting and drawing from Brooklyn College and also teaches at the Parrish, and Talus Pinto, a senior who works in photography.

The program begins at 6 p.m. and can be seen in person at the museum in Water Mill or online. In-person tickets, which the Parrish recommends securing in advance, are free for students, $12 for adults, and $9 for senior citizens. Attendees must wear masks and show proof of vaccination. The program can be live-streamed for free through the Parrish’s website.
