To understand that The Guerrilla Girls are as relevant today as they were in 1985, is to understand how iconic they are and how entrenched systemic inequity is within the American fabric. Racism, misogyny, corruption, gender bias…the women who have stood up, ferociously for all, for 36 years, aren’t running out of material. A source of inspiration for as long as they have existed, The Guerrilla Girls are “art world royalty” according to the Whitney Museum. Structural inequality exists because of an imbalance of power; The Guerrilla Girls’ signature humor exposes discrimination and calls out the corrupt. They teach generations how to speak up for themselves. Thanks to digital culture and emerging platforms, their inspiration continues to resonate with our fearless children. They already know that, like the pussy hat, activism looks good on everyone.
