Thankyou. You gals are my inspiration.

The most important aspect I find of their work is women supporting women. And in a fun and non aggressive way, just making things visible is enough. We still need to work on most of the issues they raised in the 80s. It's an ongoing process of raising awareness.

So Glad the brilliant Guerilla Girls are still putting their message out into the world,their eye opening and mind changing voice is stiil relevant today and still needs to be heard and then significant diversive change in the art world instigated. (matt)

Glad to see the girls still here.

[@sarahmottramart]

Thank you for your persevering voice. These rules have certainly discarded me as a female sole parent artist.

The Guerrilla Girls were also interviewed on the A DISCUSSION WITH National Authors on Tour TV Series in 1995: ua-cam.com/video/Ru5OeBriQ3s/v-deo.html

Forever remembering when two of them made fun of one of my fellow trans classmates during their artist talk at my school. Right after presenting bioessentialist terf ideas in their powerpoint. The school had to do so much damage control and they destroyed any genuine interest the student body had in their presence, of which there was initially a lot, from myself included. Never even apologized. Just threw bananas into the crowd and implied my friend having concerns at all meant shi forgot hir HRT that day.
Im just glad i got to learn about so many better feminist artists than the two Guerilla Girls we met. I know one went by Frida. We truly expected so much. To learn a lot of feminist ideas as they pertain to the art world. Instead we got talked down to while being shown the preschool version of feminism with TERF ideas smattered throughout. Absolutely embarrasing experience that disappointed both students and faculty.

yikes that sounds awful I'm sorry that happened to you and your friend! If they're transphobic they're not feminist. Such a shame cuz I'm on board with the messages in this video.

[@okaybear4588]

@@taylorandrew9196 thank you. i agree with a lot of why they were founded. Women artists get treated like shit and deserve better. I just think the two GGs who were present acted painfully immature the entire time. Even cisgendered students and faculty were upset because no artist talk had ever felt like that much of a circus. this was around the time of their exhibition at the Walker Art Center.
After this happened they had trouble getting students who wanted to participate in the separate exhbition branded after the GGs that was being held in the school's main gallery. I dont think any of the school's few trans women participated at the time because we felt specifically mistreated and never got an apology.
Felt really bad for the student who worked closesly with them for all of this because she was stuck doing so much damage control if i recall. Wont name her bc she's off doing cooler things now and none of this was her fault.

Who is the person in the video who said ""Most of the women doing the bitching are talentless"?
