"The Guerrilla Girls, a group of anonymous artist-activists, critique the sexism and racism pervading contemporary culture. Through their populist art production, which includes posters, books, and live performances in which they wear gorilla masks, the group raises awareness about discrimination. This exhibition presents posters and ephemera including works from two portfolios, Guerrilla Girls Talk Back: The First Five Years, 1985-1990 and Guerrilla Girls Talk Back: Portfolio 2, both donated to NMWA's collection by Baltimore-based collector Steven Scott."
