PauseTalk is a series of events that initially took place at Cafe Pause in Tokyo, with the idea to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives (or anyone passing through) could get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents in the city and how they contribute to them. The original series ran for 9 years, from 2006 until 2015, and was brought back to life in 2023, and is currently held bi-monthly in Shanghai.
PauseTalk has an official website, as well as a presence on Facebook. This page will keep you informed on the latest happenings of all things PauseTalk.
