GUERRILLA GIRLS: REINVENTING THE 'F' WORD: FEMINISM

The Guerrilla Girls are anonymous artist activists who use disruptive headlines, outrageous visuals and killer statistics to expose gender and ethnic bias and corruption in art, film, politics and pop culture. We believe in an intersectional feminism that fights for human rights for all people. We undermine the idea of a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory, the subtext, the overlooked, and the downright unfair. We have done hundreds of unforgettable projects (street posters, banners, actions, books, and videos) all over the world. We also do interventions and exhibitions at art museums, blasting them on their own walls for their bad behavior and discriminatory practices, including a stealth projection on the façade of the Whitney Museum about income inequality and the super rich hijacking art. Our retrospectives and traveling exhibitions have attracted thousands. Currently our work is on display at Tate Modern, where 17,000 people came to meet us in person on January 31, 2024! Our latest book, Guerrilla Girls: The Art of Behaving Badly collects hundreds of our projects from 1985 to today, and was named one of the best art books of 2020 by The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. Other exhibitions include the São Paulo Museum of Art; the Venice Biennale; Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam; Museum of Military History, Dresden; Art Basel Hong Kong; Minneapolis Institute of Art; The Centre Pompidou, Paris; Toi o Tāmaki Museum, New Zealand; National Museum of World Writing, Korea; and hundreds more. The Getty Research Center, Los Angeles, is preparing an exhibition of our 40-year history for Fall, 2025. Our motto: Do one thing. If it works, do another. If it doesn’t, do another anyway. Keep chipping away!
