I decided to keep my pecha kucha very unscripted because I felt I would be looking at my lines too much. Instead I felt a lot more confident assigning topics to each picture and talking about them freely.
Title: Some sketches from my sketchbook
I talk about how I started off my essay looking at the divide in the LGBT community and how I came across the term heteronormativity.
1: defining heteronormativity
2: Explain my reasoning about why I left out gay men of my essay, because they are represented far more than other LGBT members in both media, activism and research.
3: Explain that heteronormativity is the reason why people can feel uncomfortable when talking about LGBT subjects including heteronormativity itself.
4: Explaining why I left out "+" members of the LGBT+ community such as asexuals, intersex people, pansexual people, etc. I felt I didn't have enough room in the essay plus they come with their own unique set of problems.
5. Explaining how heteronormativity affects lesbians, eg; how they are portrayed overly sexualised for the male gaze or they're shown to be man hating.
6. Explaining how I tried to characterise it through drawing.
7. Explaining how bisexual people are demonised by heteronormative views.
8. My work trying to get across of the stereotyped demonised bisexual.
9. How trans people are demonised by heteronormative views and how they are portrayed by those with heteronormative views.
10. Explaining the challenges trans people face with heteronormativity everywhere.
11. Explaining how I tried to draw the feeling of isolation trans people can feel in our heteronormative society.
12. How heteronormativity effects non LBGT people, for example the idea that a family has to be a man and a women who marry and have children, like the idea of the average white nuclear family.
13. Explaining about how I tried to characterise this idea of the perfect heteronormative family.
14. Heteronormative man with his 2.5 children.
15. Explaining how heteronormativity effects art and how it can be present in art, eg; giving one skeleton bone boobs to show this is a man and a women skeleton and thus a straight couple. Other things like giving girl characters like minnie mouse eyelashes etc.
16. My work trying to parody the concept, not very good!!
17. More about how ridiculous I find it.
18. Saying how its such a big subject and saying how I'm finding it difficult to pin down ideas because its a topic encompassing many things.
19. Some of my first roughs, explaining my ideas for diagrams.
