Guerrilla Girls

n.b.k. Facade
Opening: Wednesday, September 9, 6:00 p.m.
Curator: Sergio Edelsztein

Starting in September 2026, the Neue Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) will display a new, specially commissioned work by the Guerrilla Girls on its facade. For over 40 years, the renowned collective of female artists has been active both within and outside institutional contexts, exposing inequalities related to gender and race in the international art world and beyond. The use of provocative slogans and visually striking poster campaigns has become a hallmark of the Guerrilla Girls. Their anonymous presence—the collective’s members are always disguised in gorilla masks—is a radical act in an art world driven by ego and fame. Against the backdrop of current debates on the tension between art and activism, it is worth taking a fresh look at the groundbreaking practice of the Guerrilla Girls.
