Unit two essay proposal: Guerrilla Girls

Eliana Grajales

For this essay I decided to dive further into a topic that I had researched for my high school capstone. The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous feminist group that don gorilla masks while schooling people on social issues such as (but are not limited to) racial injustice, sexism, and discrimination of any kind. How do they do this you may ask? The Guerrilla Girls use humor and satire through art projects, more specifically posters/banners and short films.

Two Guerilla Girls posters that I found especially memorable

Some things are especially important to research for this essay such as…

  • The Museum of Modern Arts in New York City (MoMA)
  • the Guerilla Girls Talk Back art portfolio
  • the Do Women Have To Be Naked To Get Into The Met. Museum poster
  • Kathe Kollwitz
  • Other art museums in New York City
