Guerrilla Girls in Our Midst
We have invited two representatives from the Guerrilla Girls, an acclaimed organization of anonymous female artists that fights sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination in politics, art, and pop culture, to perform here at Princeton. (To find out more about their work, visit www.guerrillagirls.com.) In their multi-media presentation, the Girls will discuss their activism, and expose the social truths of the art world today through facts and humor. It will be fun, dynamic, and truly thought-provoking!
The performance will begin at 7:00 in McCosh 50. A reception will follow at the Art Museum, and will last until 10:00.
In anticipation of this special event, we will also be hosting a film screening of the brief documentary “Guerrillas in Our Midst” about the Guerrilla Girls’ emergence in the 1980s and their message (http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c327.shtml). We will show two film screenings of the Guerrillas in Our Midst this Friday, February 10 in McCormick 101 at 8:00 and 9:00.
Hosting the Guerrilla Girls at Princeton is an exceptional opportunity for the students, faculty, and staff in your department, and the community in general.
