Guerrilla Girls
12 rooms in Media Networks
This display shows the work of the anonymous feminist collective who use daring text and phrases to expose injustice in the art world and beyond
The Guerrilla Girls are an activist group made up of women artists and art professionals. They formed in 1985, in response to an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York which featured only 13 women out of 169 artists. Under the cover of darkness, they fly-posted SoHo street corners, declaring statistics that exposed the gender-based discrimination in museums and art galleries. They hide their identities behind gorilla masks and have adopted pseudonyms of celebrated dead women artists and writers such as Kathë Kollwitz, Frida Kahlo and Gertrude Stein.
Today, the group continue to reveal the racism, sexism and homophobia prevalent in art and society. They are most well-known for text-based posters that drip with wit and sarcasm, holding Euro American institutions accountable for their actions. This dry sense of humour on backgrounds of pop pinks and yellows contrasts with the harrowing story of inequality being told. By using straightforward data and rhetorical questions, the facts speak for themselves.
The art in this room shows the different ways in which Guerrilla Girls play and provoke the museum industry. As well as fly posters, the group have produced stickers, comics and even children’s activity books as part of their agenda to be the ‘conscience of the art world’.

Guerrilla Girls, Women Artists In The Andy Warhol And Tremaine Auctions At Sotheby’s 1989
Formed in 1985, the Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous activist group who highlight discrimination in the art world. Their targets include museums, dealers, curators and art critics. They fly-posted their first posters overnight in the fashionable New York art district of SoHo, and have also displayed their work as advertisements on city buses. Over the years their attacks on sexism have widened to other areas of social, racial and gender-based inequality. The Guerrilla Girls wear gorilla masks for public appearances and use the names of famous deceased artists and writers as pseudonyms.
