GGBB (GuerrillaGirlsBroadBand) est un groupe formé par une des fondatrices des Guerrilla Girls et quatre anciennes membres des Guerrilla Girls, une cohorte féministe de la présente génération, ainsi que des artistes de nationalités différentes. Lutte contre le sexisme, le racisme et l'injustice sociale sont les pierres angulaires de leur militantisme. Elles explorent des sujets qu'elles estiment encore tabous comme la condition féminine et la discrimination sur les lieux de travail. Leur site web comprend quelques oeuvres, des vidéos, des questionnaires et des événements militants interactifs.

Discours (notes)

«In 1985, a group of women artists founded the Guerrilla Girls. They assumed the names of dead women artists and wore gorilla masks in public, concealing their identities and focusing on the issues rather than their personalities. Between 1985 and 2000, close to 100 women, working collectively and anonymously, produced posters, billboards, public actions, books and other projects to make feminism funny and fashionable. At the turn of the millennium, three separate and independent incorporated groups formed to bring fake fur and feminism to new frontiers: Guerrilla Girls, Inc., www.guerrillagirls.com, was established by two founding Guerrilla Girls and other members to continue the use of provocative text, visuals and humor in the service of feminism and social change. They have written several books and create projects about the art world, film, politics and pop culture. They travel the world, talking about the issues and their experiences as feminist masked avengers, reinventing the “f” word into the 21st century. Guerrilla Girls On Tour, Inc. is a touring theatre collective founded by three former members of the Guerrilla Girls. GGOT develops plays, performances, street theatre actions and residency programs that dramatize women’s history and address the lack of opportunities for women and artists of color in the performing arts. GuerrillaGirlsBroadBand, Inc., www.ggbb.org, was formed by a founding Guerrilla Girl, four former members of the Guerrilla Girls and a bevy of young, next-generation feminists and artists of color. “The Broads” combat sexism, racism and social injustice, exploring such taboo subjects as feminism and fashion and discrimination in the wired workplace through their website and live interactive activist events.» (http://ggbb.org/index.html)
