Guerrillas in Our Midst
‘Guerrillas in our Midst’ presents a savvy exploration of the machinations of the commercial art world during its boom in the 1980s, and brings the Guerrilla Girls to the screen. This anonymous group of art terrorists has succeeded in putting racism and sexism on the agenda in the art world since 1985, and their witty and creative tactics have changed the face of political and cultural activism.
Interviews with key figures in the Manhattan art scene, record‑breaking auction sales, exhibition openings, and interviews with the Guerrilla Girls themselves combine to highlight how the myth of the heroic male painter is perpetuated.
