How to Be a Guerrilla Girl presents the inner workings of the anonymous feminist art collective alongside a new commission at the Getty Research Institute. Drawing on the Guerrilla Girls’ archive, the exhibition explores the steps the group took to create their eye-catching and humorous public interventions. The exhibition places the Guerrilla Girls’ well-known posters in the broader context of their data research, protest actions, culture jamming, and distribution methods. Coinciding with the Guerrilla Girls’ 40th anniversary, the exhibition tells the story of their collaborative process and longstanding commitment to call for equity for women and artists of colour in the art world.

About the Artist

Gorilla masks, bold letters, pink and yellow, and statistics all arranged into text-based posters, billboards, and other public appearances are the markers of artworks by the Guerrilla Girls, an organisation of female activist-artists who combine facts and humour to battle gender and ethnic inequalities and corruption in the arts community and the world at large.
