Art of Resistance: Guerrilla Girls Call Your Girlfriend
-
- Society & Culture
The Guerrilla Girls have been resisting sexism and racism through art for the last 30 years. An anonymous collective of gorilla-mask bedecked agitators, their campaigns have ranged from protests to posters, billboards, and museum interventions. With style, humor, and collective action, they call attention to issues rich and powerful institutions would rather side-step. All the members take pseudonyms after dead women artists. We talked with founding members Frida Kahlo and Käthe Kollwitz about the body of work collected in a new book: Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly.
As we all grit our teeth for Election Day, we wanted to hear from people who have been deeply engaged in changing systems, for the long haul.
