For International Women’s Day 2017, we celebrate the Guerilla Girls.

Formed in 1985, the Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous American female activist group who seek to expose discrimination in the art world. Their targets include museums, dealers, curators and art critics.Their individual identities are always concealed behind the signature gorilla masks. Over the years their attacks on sexism have widened to other areas of social, racial and gender-based inequality.

This is one of thirty posters published in a portfolio entitled Guerrilla Girls Talk Back, which targets museums, dealers, curators, critics and artists who they felt were actively responsible for, or complicit in, the exclusion of women and non-white artists from mainstream exhibitions and publications.
