Since 1995, it has presented the artistic and cultural production of women in the performing arts, music, visual arts, film and video, literature and theory, and thereby aimed to provoke a debate and raise awareness as to the currently disproportionate participation and representation of women in arts and culture, as well as in society as a whole.

Guerilla Girls
your cultural conscience |
"The Guerrilla Girls are a group of women artists, writers, performers, film makers and arts professionals who fight discrimination. Dubbing ourselves the conscience of culture, we declare ourselves feminist counterparts to the mostly male tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Batman, and the Lone Ranger. We wear gorilla masks to focus on the issues rather than our personalities. We use humor to convey information, provoke discussion, and show that feminists can be funny. In sixteen years we have produced over 70 posters, printed projects, and actions that expose sexism and racism in the art world and the culture at large. Our work has been passed around the world by kindred spirits who consider themselves Guerrilla Girls too. The mystery surrounding our identities has attracted attention and support. We could be anyone; we are everywhere." If you don't knwo them already, check thei great site and newest book out! http://www.guerrillagirls.org/

| Anonymous Girls |
“Anonymous Girls is a young women's arts and activism group from the Boston area, stemming out of the Variotee craze of the late late 90s. (...) We hope to create an ongoing space for women to display their talents in a culture that does not believe that women's art/music/writing is important. Through doing this we want to strengthen our feminist art and activist community, and to inspire more women to go out there and take care of business!”

| Anarchist Clothing Collective |
"Carissa began the Anarchist Clothing Collective because she envisioned a strong independent alternative to the clothing industry. A clothing industry where there are no sweatshops, no fashion rules, no waste, no competition. She met Rachel through an article she wrote in a fanzine called Heartattack. Rachel had been having the same issues with the clothing industry and wanted to create an alternative as well. So, Rachel and Carissa started working on an autonomous workplace that makes freedom possible for more people by setting up a network where we can all work and survive using our... creativity."
