Guerilla Girls


by 
Guerrilla Girls

The Guerilla Girls are an activist group that we have discussed in class before, they began in the 1980s in response to the gender inequality displayed within visual arts. An exhibition was held at the museum of modern arts which featured 169 male artists and only 17 female artists. The unequal representation prompted the formation of this anonymous group of women that wore guerrilla masks and preached for equality within the arts.
