Guerrilla Girl Frida Kahlo joins curator Jenée-Daria Strand for a conversation.
Guerrilla Girls

The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous group of activist artists who use facts, humor and outrageous visuals to expose bias and corruption in politics, art, film, and pop culture. GG has done hundreds of projects all over the world, including interventions inside museums that blast them for their discriminatory practices. GG are intersectional feminists who fight for human rights for all people, and against ethnic and gender stereotypes, homophobia, transphobia, war, and income inequality. Over 60 individuals have been members of the Guerrilla Girls, some for weeks, some for decades. They wear gorilla masks in public and take the names of dead artists as pseudonyms. They have always been diverse in age, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic class and ethnic background.
