Guerrilla Girls

Guerrilla Girls began in 1985. The women hide their faces with Guerrilla masks.  To hide their identity, they use dead female artists names. They visited various countries such as New York, L.A, Minneapolis, Istanbul, and Shanghai. They used art to brings people attention to problems in art museums. Also to problems like abortion and homeless people.  Famous museums like the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial exhibition and Guggenheim Museum did not include much women and African American women at the museums. On top of all this, the Guerrilla Girls received either much love or hate for their activism.
