The Guerrilla Girls are a feminist art organisation composed of anonymous female artists that wear gorilla masks to protect their identities. The group was formed in the 80's in New York to fight against sexism and other forms of injustice within politics, art, film and pop culture. They use facts, humour and outrageous visuals to help expose the discrimination and corruption.
In my opinion, I think the work of the Guerrilla Girls is extremely brave and effective as each one of their break through protests has riled up the art world, causing the group to gain popularity and spread their messages far more quickly especially due to the use online media. Most of their work has managed to have an impact as the amount of female artists gaining recognition is increasing however the group are still active to this day continuing to protest until equality is reached.
