Guerrilla Girls & Anti-Racism Although among most of Guerrilla Girls’ activist campaigns their focus was mostly critiquing the sexism in the art world based on their feminist perspective, they also somehow did contribute in fighting against the racism in this sphere, too. In fact, as putting on the gorilla masks, the statement Guerrilla Girls made about anonymity consisted both individuals’ gender and racial identities. As aforementioned, the use of the gorilla masks was to guide the general audiences as well as the participants in the art world to focus on the issue and work itself rather than people’s personalities and other socially added identities. In this sense, the gorilla masks, in terms of fixing the historical and social prejudice on race, have accomplished the task in two layers. First, the gorilla masks covered people’s face and skin color so that audience were forced to focus on what was the statement that has been made rather than who was making the statement. As stated in one of Guerrilla Girls poster projects, being a woman artist means that one is “being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labeled feminine”.[1] The very same idea can be applied to when colored artists/activists were making a statement; whatever kind of art/statement you make it will be labeled, possibly, aggressive. Another layer of interpreting the gorilla masks can be that it successfully subverted the disrespectful connotative connection between gorillas and people with darker skin colour. Guerrilla Girls’ Discussion about Racism in the Art World The concern about the racist phenomenon in the art world brought up by Guerrilla Girls was in relation to the underrepresentation of coloured artists in this sphere. As the statistic stated, among the 169 artists being shown in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, only 10% were women and all of them were white.[2] The issue is problematic not only because of the lack of representation of coloured artists in the museum but that while there was no black artists were admitted, the non-Western cultural elements were presented in various western paintings. For example, the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso during 1906-1909 used to paint a style called Picasso’s African Period. One of the most famous paintings that were created during this period was called Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, which presented the very symbolic African cultural elements, the African mask, in the painting. To borrow Bell Hooks’ cultural theory of “eating the other,” the use of African cultural elements in the Western painting should not be interpreted as any kind of acknowledgement but a racist action of othering and alienation. [3] Another of Guerrilla Girls’ discussion about racism in the art world is tokenism versus real equality. Guerrilla Girls argued that it was not a success if the museum only showed a very few coloured artists’ work in order to frame a non-racist self-image. In the year of 1995, Guerrilla Girls created a poster named “Top Ten Signs That You’re an Art World Token.”[4] In this poster, Guerrilla Girls listed ten points in explaining how the seemingly involvement was, again, indeed the discriminative action of othering and alienation. Some Absent Discussions about Racism in Guerrilla Girls’ Campaign As aforementioned, most of Guerrilla Girls’ campaign focused on the part of the sexism happened in the art world. As a result, the discussion about racism in the art world was inevitably partially missing, of which is the discussion about the racist content in the western painting. Based on the aforementioned Bell Hooks’ theory of racism through othering and alienating, a more profound way to look at the discriminative content of the western painting is to examine how the western painters Orientalize and primitivize the non-Western cultures in their work. To take one of Henri Rousseau’s most well known works The Dream as example, this work provides a perfect representation of the idea of Orientalism and primitivism in the Westerns’ eyes. The Parisian artist Henri Rousseau has never been outside of France in his life. Instead, he “drew on images of the exotic as it was presented to the urban dweller through popular literature, colonial expositions, and the Paris Zoo.”[5] The collecting and disseminating such art works that carrying the Orientalist thoughts indeed implicitly encouraged and even educated the sense of racism or the general discrimination towards all the other ethnical groups and cultures outside the Western world. Therefore, the lack of discussion about the racist and the Orientalist content in the western painting in Guerrilla Girls campaign can be interpreted as very inadequate if they also aimed in fighting for racial equalities in the art world.
