I was researching Nao and the Anonymous Was a Women grant she received, when I accidentally stumbled upon this little jewel: the Guerilla Girls. These feminists dress up in gorilla gear and protest sexism, racism, and corruption in art. Their motto is, “Fighting discrimination with facts, humor and fake fur.” They ask, “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” They have a book Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerilla Girls’ Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes. When the Broad Contemporary Art Museum had an exhibition with 97% white and 87% male artists, they wrote a letter of protest, signed, “All our love, Guerilla Girls” (detailed in the New Yorker article I found). They visit colleges with lectures, performances, and workshops. Think we can get ‘em at Haverford?
