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.
