Description
The Guerrilla Girls, established in 1985 and still going
strong in the 21st century, are a group of women artists, writers, performers
and film makers who fight discrimination. Dubbing ourselves the conscience of
culture, we declare ourselves feminist counterparts to the mostly male
tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Batman, and the Lone Ranger.
We wear gorilla masks to focus on the issues rather than our personalities. We
use humor to convey information, provoke discussion, and show that feminists
can be funny. In 17 years we have produced over 80 posters, printed projects,
and actions that expose sexism and racism in politics, the art world and the
culture at large. Our work has been passed around the world by kindred spirits
who we are proud to have as supporters. The mystery surrounding our identities
has attracted attention. We could be anyone; we are everywhere.
