Girls Guerilla

About the Author

Girls Guerilla is a bold collective of feminist artists and activists who emerged from the vibrant underbelly of New York's art scene in the 1980s, using guerrilla tactics to expose and dismantle gender biases in the art world. Masked in gorilla disguises to protect their identities, they launched provocative posters, performances, and publications that challenged the male-dominated canon, demanding equity for women artists. Their work blends sharp wit, incisive critique, and unapologetic activism, inspiring generations to question institutional power structures. With a legacy of anonymity and audacity, Girls Guerilla continues to influence contemporary discussions on feminism, art, and social justice through their enduring manifestos and interventions.
