The Guerrilla Girls Are Coming

In the mid-eighties, a group of women artists took to the streets (with clever and politically devastating posters) to protest the lack of work by women artists and artists of color in museums. Working anonymously to expose sexism and racism in the art world, these women adopted the names of famous female artists and wore gorilla masks to protect themselves from the angry art world elite. Calling themselves The Guerrilla Girls, they have taken their activism from the U.S. to Canada, Japan, Ireland, Germany, and elsewhere - and have expanded their repertoire to include an attack on sexism and racism in Hollywood as well as in global politics.

And now, The Guerrilla Girls are coming to Augsburg! Please join us on Friday, November 5, at 5pm in the Chapel for a discussion/lecture/performance with Guerrilla Girl, Frida Kahlo. T-shirts, books, and posters will be on sale before and after the performance, with a book-signing after the performance, as well. The performance is free and open to all.

Limited spaces are also available for a special "Aestheticize Your Activism" workshop for students on Saturday, Nov. 6 from 10am-noon. If you are interested, please contact nathanso@augsburg.edu.

For more information about The Guerrilla Girls: http://www.guerrillagirls.com/
