Reinventing the "f" word: Feminism!
Feminism is widely referred as political, cultural, and economic activities aimed at setting up greater rights and legal protections for women. Feminism includes some of the sociological theories and philosophies concerned with concerns of gender differences . It is also a movement that campaigns for women's rights and interests. One of the best known groups of Feminist was the Guerrilla Girls.
The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous group of radical feminist artists established in New York City in 1985. They fought against sexism and racism in the art world with facts, humour and fake fur. Known for posters, books, billboards, appearances and other creative forms of culture jamming that expose discrimination and corruption. The GGs would only go public wearing mask, rumour has it that some of the 'Girls' were well-known artist.
TACTICS
The GGs used a combination of graphics, text and design to reveal the understory, the subtext, the overlooked, and the downright unfair. Billboards over majot cities were used on many many occasions as a tool to strenghten the Guerrilla Girls campaing.
