Guerrilla Girls Workshop
Friday, Jan 23, 2026, 11:00am - 1:00pm
The Guerrilla Girls will host an art activism workshop at Plains Art Museum designed to help participants find and express their activist voices for the causes they care about most.
Learn how to make your voice heard with art!
In this workshop, you’ll explore the methods, strategies, and tactics used by the Guerrilla Girls to design your own eye-catching posters with powerful messages. Throughout the process, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance from your instructors and collaborate with other activism-minded creators in small group settings.
These workshops coincide with the exhibition Women Artists: Four Centuries of Creativityand mark the Guerrilla Girls’ first-ever visit to North Dakota. The Guerrilla Girls are anonymous feminist artists and activists who have exposed gender and racial inequalities in the art world since forming in New York City in 1985. They first came together in response to a major Museum of Modern Art exhibition that included less than 8% women artists.
At Plains Art Museum in Fargo, only 10.5% of the permanent collection’s 6,000 objects were made by women artists. What can be done to achieve equality in the arts? When their early protests were ignored, the Guerrilla Girls turned to “guerrilla” art tactics—like wheat-pasting posters across Manhattan—including their now-iconic piece Do women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum?
