The question surprised me.
Yes, it is the Year of the Snake and this event falls just after the Chinese New Year break.
The illustration in question is re-drawn from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince.
I thought this classic was well-known enough among the general public not to need a footnote. (Published 60 years ago and “translated into 250+ languages and dialects” says Wikipedia.)
The elephant is a teaser, it represents back stories to be shared at PechaKucha.
The first version of the poster included both snakes, shown below.
The ‘hat’ had to go when the ’10 Years + 600 Cities’ graphic was added later.
