Guerilla girls do women have to be naked
In , a group of New York-based women artists banded together to protest the rampant discrimination in a male curated, male-centric MoMA show where out of the artists represented, only 13 were female. Out of that spirit, the highly vocal, social-crime-fighting, vigilante, primate-masked, anonymous, but ever watchful and score-keeping feminist collective the Guerrilla Girls was born. Their ingenious, rabble rousing, and take-no-prisoners interventions have become the stuff of art world legend: papering city walls with posters decrying museum misconduct and creating alternative text books that expose the prejudicial, statistically lopsided facts absent in most art history supplements are just two of their preferred modes of attack. We were sure things had improved, but surprise! Fewer women artists, more naked males.

The masks are always worn in public, driving attention to the message rather than the messengers. Rather than expressing unvarnished outrage, they chose public ridicule as their tactic. They gathered proof of discrimination, counting works in the modern galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It became one of their best-known works.

Working inside the Disobedient Objects exhibition, she reflects on the impact that the Guerrilla Girls made on her as an art history student and on the ongoing relevance of their work.
