Guerrilla Girls, Artist Talk 4.3.19

Описание: Visiting Artist Lecture Series, the Department of Visual Art presents Guerrilla Girls, April 3, 2019 at the Salomon Center, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Guerrilla Girls are feminist activist artists. They wear gorilla masks in public and use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to expose gender and ethnic bias as well as corruption in politics, art, film, and pop culture. Their anonymity keeps the focus on the issues, and away from who they might be: they could be anyone and they are everywhere. They believe in an intersectional feminism that fights discrimination and supports human rights for all people and all genders. They undermine the idea of a mainstream narrative by revealing the understory, the subtext, the overlooked, and the downright unfair.

This project is made possible, in part, by the Brown Arts Initiative, the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America, the Cogut Institute for the Humanities, History of Art and Architecture, the Department of Modern Culture and Media, Program in Literary Arts, the Pembroke Center, the Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender, and the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies.
