Young Women's Christian Association: Hey, hetero! You can do it with your eyes closed. No fear! No danger! No worries! Brought to you as part of YWCA week without violence. [Copyright] Deborah Kelly & Tina Fiveash, 2001

Poster shows a photograph of a kiss between a man and a woman on a crowded footpath. Both have tattoos on their arms, the woman's being the word "Dad" inside a heart. The logos of Wellington City Council and YWCA are at lower right.

One of six posters on the same theme, produced by these two artists. From website at http://tinafiveash.com.au/hey_hetero.html: "Hey Hetero! appeared in Sydney, Adelaide and Wellington, NZ, in 2001, and was invited to Berlin and Melbourne in 2002. Hey Hetero! won the major arts award of the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival 2001. Hey Hetero! returns the gaze at heterosexuality: the privileged sexuality which makes gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender movements both possible and necessary. In the form of simulated mainstream 'advertisements', the artwork invites heterosexuality into public discourse."
