Guerrilla Girls

It's always interesting to me that whenever I get ready to teach about something, there it is in the news!  Here's some info from an email I just received today about the Guerilla Girls, which we will be talking about soon.

Yoko Ono Lennon announces Guerrilla Girls On Tour as one of the recipients
of the 2010 Courage Awards for the Arts. The Yoko Ono Lennon 2010 Courage
Awards for The Arts will be presented on Sunday 28 March 2010.  Guerrilla
Girls On Tour is an anonymous touring theatre company of 26 women trained in
a variety of comedic theatre techniques who develop unique and outrageous
activist plays, performance art and street theatre.  The troupe has
presented over 200 performances and workshops around the world addressing
reproductive rights, war, sex trafficking, hunger, herstory/history/hirstory
and violence against women. They will work with feminists in Slovenia on a
collaborative performance of their new play If You Can Stand the Heat: The
History of Women and Food at the City of Women Festival in October.  For

As an update, we had a brief discussion last week and decided that we would watch the Chicago Conspiracy Trial when the full class was able to come, so we'll be watching it this week and then probably doing just a little bit of catch up--we may start with zines this week too.

Cheers.
