Poster Workshop

Guerrilla Girls Broadband's (GGBB) Anti-Rape Poster Project (#GGBBCampus) addresses concerns over campus sexual assault, administration policies, prevention, and awareness by facilitating the creation of a classic GGBB poster. This project is part of a new initiative by Guerrilla Girls Broadband to develop guerrilla posters directly in collaboration with students. The goal is to teach students how to use art and humor as activist tools, to empower them to address social issues and to create a  supportive and safe community, which enables positive and constructive dialogue. GGBB encourages students to use this opportunity to reflect on concerns and ideas that are unique to their own college community as each college campus has its own unique voice, but to also listen with empathy to their colleagues' voices too. 

Poster Art History

The Guerrilla Girls started using street art posters as social protest to highlight the inherent sexism in the art industry. To combat the sexism and highlight discrimination, the Guerrilla Girls used a combination of facts and humor to call attention to how underrepresented women artists are in galleries, museums and the media. Activist posters continue to be an artistic signature of the three different factions of the Guerrilla Girls: Guerrilla Girls BroadBand, Guerrilla Girls on Tour, and Guerrilla Girls, Inc., with each group focusing on their own social issues.
