Show Notes
In this episode of Framed: Canvas, Cuffs & Other Stuffs, we dive into the wild history of the Guerrilla Girls — the anonymous collective of feminist art activists who shook up the art world with gorilla masks, sharp humour, and shocking stats. From the courtroom drama of the early 2000s — when anonymity was tested and real names were forced into the open — to splinter groups, copyright battles, and the ironic moment when their protest posters ended up hanging in the very museums they once critiqued, this story has it all. We break down: The lawsuit that nearly unmasked the Guerrilla Girls. How splinter groups like Guerrilla Girls Broad Band and Guerrilla Girls on Tour complicated the movement. Why anonymity still matters, and how the group used humour, stats, and spectacle to highlight sexism and racism in art. The legacy: from shocking posters to museum walls. 🎭 Expect courtroom chaos, feminist fire, and yes — a cheeky discussion about naked men in galleries. 👉 If you’ve ever wondered who gets remembered in art history and who gets erased, this episode asks the uncomfortable questions.
