The Guerrilla Girls
The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous group of feminist artists founded in 1985 in New York City. They use art and activism to address issues of gender and racial inequality in the art world. By wearing gorilla masks and adopting pseudonyms, they challenge the male-dominated art establishment and highlight the underrepresentation of women and artists of color.
Their work often includes posters, public performances, and exhibitions that combine humor and statistics to critique the art market and institutions. The Guerrilla Girls aim to raise awareness and provoke discussion about the systemic biases in the art world, making their message accessible to a broad audience.
