The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous collective of feminist artists founded in New York in 1985, known for their provocative, data-driven critiques of sexism and racism in the art world and beyond. Concealing their identities behind gorilla masks and adopting the names of deceased female artists, the group challenges institutional bias while shifting focus away from individual authorship toward collective activism.Working across posters, billboards, public interventions, books, and exhibitions, the Guerrilla Girls combine bold graphic design with sharp humor and statistics to expose inequalities in museums, galleries, and cultural narratives. Their iconic works—such as Do Women Have to Be Naked to Get Into the Met. Museum?—have become landmarks of activist art, blending accessibility with incisive critique.Over the decades, the Guerrilla Girls have expanded their focus to include issues in film, politics, and popular culture, maintaining a global presence through exhibitions, lectures, and collaborations. Their work is held in major institutional collections worldwide, and they remain a vital force in contemporary art, advocating for transparency, accountability, and systemic change.
