En 2001, les femmes artistes ont évolué en trois groupes distincts: les Guerrilla Girls, les Guerrilla filles à large bande et Guerrilla Girls On Tour. Les membres des Guerrilla Girls (www.guerrillagirls.com), ont été impliqués dans à peu près tous les projets GG depuis 1985.
Dans les dernières années, elles ont fait plus de 90 apparitions et des actions partout dans le monde, ainsi que des autocollants, des affiches, des panneaux et de nombreux autres projets. Elles ont créé une installation à grande échelle pour la Biennale de Venise, un remue-méninges avec Greenpeace, et a participé à Halte à la violence d'Amnesty International contre la campagne des femmes au Royaume-Uni. Leur travail a paru dans The New York Times, The London Times, The New Yorker, et Bitch; sur NPR, la BBC et la CBC, et dans l'art de nombreux textes et féministes. Elles sont également les auteures de plusieurs livres, dont The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art, Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls' Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes and The Guerrilla Girls' Art Museum Activity Book.
Leur message pour le monde entier: trouver votre propre folie, de manière créative d'être féministe et militante. C'est ce que les Guerilla Girls savent faire.

On this Thursday, I am introducing you to a group of female artists: The Guerrilla Girls. They are feminist masked avengers in the tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Wonder Woman and Batman. Within their art, they use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to expose sexism, racism and corruption in politics, art, film and pop culture. The women artists wear gorilla masks in public and take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms. One of their goals is to reinvent the “f” word—feminism. Another is to undermine the idea of a mainstream narrative in the production of visual culture by revealing the under story, the subtext, the forgotten, the overlooked, the understated and the downright unfair.
In 2001, the Girls evolved into three separate groups: Guerrilla Girls, Guerrilla Girls Broadband and Guerrilla Girls On Tour. Members of the Guerrilla Girls (www.guerrillagirls.com), have been involved in just about every GG project since 1985.
In the last few years they have done over 90 appearances and actions all over the world, plus stickers, posters, billboards and many other projects. They created a large scale installation for the Venice Biennale, brainstormed with Greenpeace, and participated in Amnesty International's Stop Violence Against Women Campaign in the UK. Their work has appeared in The New York Times, The London Times, The New Yorker, and Bitch; on NPR, the BBC and the CBC; and in many art and feminist texts. They are also the authors of several books including The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art, Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls' Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes and The Guerrilla Girls' Art Museum Activity Book.
Their message to the whole world: find your own crazy, creative way to be a feminist and an activist. That’s what the Guerilla Girls do.
