| Guerilla Girls co-founder, 'Frida Kahlo' — named for the 20th century Mexican painter — speaks to an audience Thursday night at Miami University Middletown. According to the group's Web site, 'We're a bunch of anonymous females who take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms and appear in public wearing gorilla masks. We have produced posters, stickers, books, printed projects, and actions that expose sexism and racism in politics, the art world, film and the culture at large. We use humor to convey information, provoke discussion, and show that feminists can be funny. We wear gorilla masks to focus on the issues rather than our personalities.' |
