Although Monday has passed and I was so overloaded with homework thus didn’t get to do a Monday Muse, I thought I’d make up for it with more media and muse multiples, The Guerrilla Girls.
The ultimate appropriation artists. These artist activists involved in the birth of the 1980′s feminist movement first used appropriation techniques to question social injustices. Manipulating the mechanisms of gender identification the Guerrilla Girls used art as an outlet to achieve public awareness to further expose sexism, racism, and corruption in art, pop culture, politics, and film. The Guerrilla Girls’ outrageous radically noticeable humorous factual visuals expressed the unfair subtext of the world we live in, and in which we often forget.

The Guerrilla Girls around the world have organized protests, published books with their statistical data/protest art/goals toward liberating the many inequalities of the art world, have presented at public speaking events, and have conducted surveys about female artists as well as those of color in museums and galleries bringing further awareness to the public sphere.
Although official membership (in NYC) is invite only, the group tends to promote those whom claim to be Guerrilla Girls anyway so GO APE!
Guerrilla inspired fashion
