Our

This exhibition maps out the seldom-seen practices
of a group of artists who changed the face of contemporary art in
the city. Building new art for new spaces, this group liberated
art from its traditional forms and locations, incorporating
performance and new media into their work.

Guerrilla Girls: Reinventing the ‘F’ Word –
Feminism!
|
|
Opens
Friday 8 March
|
|
|
|
Dedicated to exposing discrimination in the art
world, in politics, and in the film and music industries, the
Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous collective of feminist activist
artists. Formed as a collective more than 30 years ago, the
Guerrilla Girls’ gorilla-mask costumes, bold visual language and
frank, humorous messages have rendered them iconic in the history
of art and as part of wider social movements.
Guerrilla Girls:
Reinventing the ‘F’ Word – Feminism! follows the collective’s artistic practice from
1984 until 2016 and explores how they employ bold, fun and
provocative poster art to criticise ongoing biases in art and
society.
