Guerilla Girls Invade Oakton March 5

The Guerilla Girls, a group of masked female performance artists who use humor and outrageous visuals to challenge society's status quo, celebrate Women's History Month at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.

The public is invited to attend this free event at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5.

The Guerilla Girls take the names of dead women artists as pseudonyms and appear in public wearing gorilla masks. The group's neo-feminist agenda is documented in books, including The Guerrilla Girls' Bedside Companion to the History of Western Art and Bitches, Bimbos and Ballbreakers: The Guerrilla Girls' Illustrated Guide to Female Stereotypes.

This performance is partially funded by a grant from National City.

Women's History Month events are sponsored by the Women's Studies Program. For more information, contact Kathleen Carot at 847-376-7061 or kcarot@oakton.edu.
