GIRLS' NIGHT OUT SPECIAL EVENTS
Guerrilla Girls Lecture
Friday, November 3
7:00 pm
The Contemporary Museum hosts one of the founding
members of the Guerrilla Girls as she presents a dynamic
lecture, in full jungle drag, about the activities of
this secretive group of activist women artists. The
Guerrilla Girls are feminist masked avengers in the
tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Wonder
Woman and Batman. Since 1985, the Guerrilla Girls have
assumed the names of dead women artists and worn gorilla
masks in public, concealing their identities to focus
on the under-representation of women in museum exhibitions
and collections, on museum boards, and in positions
of power in the arts.
Tickets: $5 Non-Members; Free for Members of the Contemporary
Museum and the Walters Art Museum and for current MICA
students—Current Membership and/or MICA ID Cards
is required for free admission.
Reservations Recommended. For more information or to
reserve by phone call 410.783.5720
NOTE: This event takes place in the Graham
Auditorium at the Walters Art Museum (enter on Centre
Street) and is followed by a special dessert reception
at the Contemporary Museum.
This Contemporary Museum Fall Lecture is made possible
by Goya Contemporary and Goya Girl Press.
