HAVE MASK, WILL TRAVEL
PLEASE NOTE: BOOKINGS WITH THE GROUPS GUERRILLA GIRLS BROADBAND AND/OR GUERRILLA GIRLS ON TOUR ARE NOT BOOKINGS WITH US.
For years the Guerrilla Girls have been stirring up audiences with our presentations and workshops in full jungle drag. We have appeared at schools, museums and organizations of all types, in almost every state in the U.S. and on almost every continent. For a complete list, see “Lectures/ performances/ workshops” on our chronology page.
The performance lasts about an hour and a half, followed by a question period. We take the audience through how we came up with some of our many, many posters, books (Confessions of the Guerrilla Girls and The Guerrilla Girls Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art) and actions about discrimination in art, film, politics, etc.
In our performances for 2007-8, we will also be performing skits with the audience and sharing excerpts from our book Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes. We will also speak about how we invaded the Oscars with our latest billboard and sticker campaign on discrimination in Hollywood. And we'll tell all about our 17-foot posters in the 2005 Venice Biennale, Istanbul, Athens and Mexico City.
We also conduct one-day workshops where we help students produce their own activist projects on issues that are important to them.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT THE GUERRILLA GIRLS' GIGS:
This was the most successful and enriching program/event/speaker I have heard in my four years here. —Student evaluation form, College of Creative Studies, Detroit, 4.12.2002
A pair of Guerrilla Girls, emissaries from a group of New York-based, feminist art activists, packed Loyola University's Roussel Hall last week with 600 enthusiastic fans. The two women, wearing gorilla masks, showed slides, performed satirical skits and regaled the crowd with tales of trench warfare fought against the mostly male art establishment. The show was sophisticated, sometimes self-deprecating and certainly inspirational to the eager audience. — Doug MacCash, Art Critic, New OrleansTimes-Picayune, 3.15.2002
Dear Guerrilla Girls: I recently caught a Guerrilla Girls' presentation that stopped in Vancouver and wanted to express how amazing an experience it was. Where else can one educate themselves on some serious subjects, share disgust with a whole audience, and find time to laugh one's ass off in one night? I also wanted to express my appreciation--as a human, an artist, and a person of colour--for what the GGs are working toward. — Audience member, Vancouver, 2000
