Guerrilla Girls: Feminist Masked Avengers
Tuesday, November 10, 2009 @ 7:30 p.m.
Since their first riotous appearance in 1985, the Guerrilla Girls have dedicated themselves to exposing sexism, racism, and corruption in the art world, the film industry, and popular culture. Adopting the names of dead women artists and decked out in full jungle drag, these anonymous avengers use facts, humor, and outrageous visuals to skewer institutional bias and inequality. In this program, the Guerilla Girls give a guided tour through the history of their many public interventions, perform satirical skits, and inspire us to create our own sophisticated acts of aesthetic resistance.
Presented by the Chicago Humanities Festival in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Ellen Stone Belic, and Ellen Stone Belic Institute for the Study of Women and Gender in the Arts and Media, Columbia College Chicago.
