At Bullseye, Jesse Thorn interviews “Kathe Kollwitz,” a founding member of the revolutionary art collective, Guerilla Girls! “In 1984, a group of women started an art collective called the Guerrilla Girls. The group was created in response to the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition: “An International Survey of Recent Painting and Sculpture.” The exhibit’s roster of 165 artists only included 13 women. The number of artists of color was even smaller, and none of them were women.

They decided the best way to fight discrimination in the art world was to make art about the discrimination. They took the art to the streets. They pasted it onto the walls all over lower Manhattan. The group demonstrated in front of the museum with placards and picket lines. And they wore gorilla masks while doing it.”
