It's not democracy without Feminism

     Ironically the anonymity of the Guerilla Girls brings awareness to their campaign. As women have always been judged and displaced in society because of their appearance, not seeing the faces behind the movement brings a sense of power. Although in control the Guerilla Girls let the world interpret their work as they please. The consistency in color and nudity, have made their mark in the artwork. 

    Women artists have always been neglected but as the feminist movement grows and polarizes, women artists are still unseen, or at least unheard. Art is portrayed to be feminine to the regular person but on a professional level art is masculine. From musicians to professional chefs, the arts are professionally run by men. Having a group of women who disrupt this norm is exactly what our society needs. In a city like New York are is everywhere, from tagging to modern architecture but yet again it’s attached to a man’s name. 

    Seeing artists such as Ms. Fleigel educate young women such as myself is a privilege that I believe should be a regular part of growing up. Like many other professions education is based on a man’s knowledge so having a female artist teach about other women who are actively making a difference is an experience that will forever change my perspective on art and expression. 

    Thanks to unnamed women this movement has inspired thousands of people including myself.​​ To not only welcome ourselves into male-dominated spaces but to take control. Discredit and rename artistic norms that respect and celebrate women.
