Guerrilla Girls
The Guerrilla Girls are known for using "guerrilla" tactics to expose gender and racial imbalances within contemporary cultural institutions. They self-identify as "a bunch of anonymous females who take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms." They appear in public wearing gorilla masks to focus on issues instead of their personal identities. Producing posters, stickers, books, and printed products, they work to expose sexism and racism in politics, the art world, film and the culture at large. We thank them for allowing us to reproduce their work here in conjunction with the museum's inaugural FRESH TALK: Righting the Balance -- Can there be gender parity in the art world? |
