The Guerrilla Girls explain the importance of complaining in the arts
Published: 07 October 2016 | by Arts reporter
The Guerrilla Girls are anonymous feminist activist artists who have been active since 1985.
Their anonymity is meant to keep the focus on the issues such as sexism and racism in art culture and away from who they might be.
At the moment they have a residency at the Tate in London operating a Complaints Department where individuals and organisations are invited to come and conspire with the Girls, post complaints about art, culture, politics, the environment, or any other issue they care about.
Thematic discussions encourage participation and assist the public in creating statements and projects to post on rolling bulletin boards.
In addition, the Guerrilla Girls will be hosting 'office hours' when you can share your thoughts and complaints with them face to face.
