Guerrilla Girls is a group of artists who have created provocative pieces and guerrilla campaigns exposing sexual and racial discrimination in the art world.
'Bus Companies are More Enlightened than Art Galleries' is a statistic of women working in differenting indastries. The name comes form the original piece of work form 1989 that was writen over with a red pen, highligting that the statistics got worse.
In their work How to enjoy the battle of sexes' they wrote on top of the artwork. The story throughout follows what it is like to be a woman nowadays. The devastating truth of a battle that is still happening, women needing to argue just to be equal to men, and how pointless it feels to try.
Both of these works use the red pen technique to highlight an issue and tell a story. I will use it to do the same in the zine, circling problematic parts of the articles and explaining why they should be changed.
