Guerrilla Girls (1985 - )
For almost four decades the Guerrilla Girls have been using their campaigning art to highlight sexism and inequality in the arts. The members of this anonymous feminist collective wear masks to ensure the focus remains on their message, not their appearance. They identify themselves individually by using the names of famous women artists of the past.
"We're the conscience of the art world."
The Guerrilla Girls have produced several books and many videos of their collective artworks and activism. They currently have an exhibition at the Tate Modern in London, England which runs until the end of 2025.
The collective has had its issues over the years, facing internal controversies over diversity, race, class, ideology and power sharing.
The total white male iron grip on the art "world" is sad. It's only a tiny view of the world of art.
