I am a feminist, I make no bones about it. I want equal rights and I want them yesterday anything less makes me mad.
The Guerilla Girls are coming to Asheville ….to the Asheville Museum of Art, Asheville, NC on March 31-April 1
The performance lasts about an hour and a half, followed by a question period. We take the audience through how we came up with some of our many, many posters, books (Confessions of the Guerrilla Girls and The Guerrilla Girls Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art) and actions about discrimination in art, film, politics, etc.
In our performances for 2007-8, we will also be performing skits with the audience and sharing excerpts from our book Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes. We will also speak about how we invaded the Oscars with our latest billboard and sticker campaign on discrimination in Hollywood. And we’ll tell all about our 17-foot posters in the 2005 Venice Biennale, Istanbul, Athens and Mexico City.
We also conduct one-day workshops where we help students produce their own activist projects on issues that are important to them.
Would anyone be interested in going? Feel free to pass the info on to any interested parties an/or express interest/ organize a trip in the comments.
