Pecha Kucha Presentations🖥

 This week was focused on our 'Pecha Kucha' presentations. 6 minutes 40 seconds to talk about our projects and propose our idea, but this year we did it on zoom.

I felt doing this was really helpful in concluding my idea, ready for my project proposal, but challenging as you have little to go off. 

I have put in mine below:






















As well as my visual presentation, I spoke about my idea and spoke through each slide. I did go over the time limit - by around one minute. This was the first time I had done a timed presentation, and I found it quite challenging to narrow down my points so I feel this wasn't too bad of a job!

After watching each other's presentations, we then gave everyone some feedback.



I have read mine and summarized it into some points, points I am going consider and take with me to my project proposal draft. See these below:

  • 'I think that the London trip and walking along the places the other women did is really interesting. Definitely use photography whilst you are there to take home'.
  • 'Really clear idea/concept. Secondary and primary research is quite broad, adds different perspectives to your project. Photography could be nice when in London for investigations.'
  • 'Interesting idea that will definitely carry you through the duration of the project. Going to London is a good way of gathering information, photographs and getting a feel for how it was then'.
  • 'A very strong and on going topic, which you can keep expanding throughout the project. There's a whole range of research you can look into - from books, documentaries, interviews, famous people profiles, etc. From your previous works, you produces really good outcomes with colour - it would be nice to see this again in your FMP. I also like your large-scale works too and perhaps doing this hear would create a vast impact and strong message about feminism.'
  • 'Your project concept is really strong and I think looking into the history of women's rights is key. It will help you understand the movement and its beginnings, however I think it will be good to look at women's rights today. For primary research, you could ask women of all ages their opinion and knowledge of the movement, how else do they think we can spread awareness?'
  • 'Well done, slightly over in time but informative and considered. Ensure you avoid the cliches of the subject - you have suggested that you are conscious of doing this but really questions where we are at with equality. I like the ideas that you are inquisitive about, especially International Women's Day - why do we have it and why is it necessary? Do people really understand the premise behind it. For research it is really important you use current stories, examples of equality and inequality to demonstrate your investigations as well as looking back in time. Installation, sensory maybe - how do some of the situations you are tackling make people feel? Could this be translated into your practical work - emotive?'
  • 'Feminism is a really broad theme so I think it would be good to last the project. I like the idea of looking at it in a less cliche way. Think about how you would represent your research into a physical form; text seems to be an important focus and I think you could explore different way to combine this with visuals. Maybe look at protests and the idea of signs. They may seem like they don't hold much power but when paired with passionate people in numbers, this changes.'
  • 'I think this is a great idea because it is personal to you and all women. You could look at how the patriarchy effects men as well as women. I like how aim to focus on more 3D structure which links in well to your progression. Primary and secondary research will be easy to get. You can include your own views as well as doing surveys to find out others opinions - 'do you consider yourself a feminist?'. I think looking at key figures is really important. You could look at Mary Wollstonecraft, since their has been a controversial statue made for her recently. There is also a new statistic '97% of women have been sexually harassed'. Overall, I think it is a really good idea and you will be able to make so many outcomes from this clear and concise idea.'
  • 'You could speak to people who have been around at the time women made big impacts on our society, and see what way they have affected people. It's a good topic for primary research - for example, doing surveys and questionnaires about how people in our generation feel about this topic.'
  • 'I think this could be a really interesting idea and it's such a broad topic that you'll be able to go deeper without spending lots of time covering everything. Maybe think about the double standards women face. Even with equality, in areas, a powerful man in a position is seen differently as a women, even though she acts the same; tricky, bitchy, unprofessional, etc. The double standards in everyday life because of people's preconceived perceptions, regardless of the actual equality laws in place. It looks really exciting and was a good presentation.'


This last point brings me to a news article I saw the other day. I actually saw this statistic before I saw this comment on my Pecha Kucha. As well as '97% of of women, between the ages of 17 and 24, have been sexually harassed', '80% of women have been sexually harassed in public'. I want to look at this article in more detail, but I just wanted to mention it here. This statistic is shocking. Shocking is an understatement. When you read this, you think - how has this been allowed to happen? How is this possible? When in reality, it happens every day, every hour, every minute.


Overall, I quite enjoyed this process. Getting all my thoughts onto paper, to then present and get others views on my concept. This then helping me form my 'final idea' to go into the FMP with.
