Kathe Kollwitz, one of the Guerilla Girls will be coming to town to speak at PSU tomorrow, April 28 about the intersection of art and activism . The event is Bitch Magazine’s final lecture in their four-part Feminist Perspectives in Pop Culture Series. the Guerilla Girls are “notorious for their witty campaigns to expose misogyny in the art world (and maintaining anonymity by wearing gorilla masks and taking the names of dead women artists).” The lecture will use multimedia to highlight the groups previous projects, like like 
hanging billboards in L.A. hanging a billboard in LA that depicts the anatomically correct Oscar and postering New York with graphics asking if women need to be naked to get into the city’s art museums. and will talk about the progress and lack thereof that women have made in getting the art world to acknowledge their work.
The event is happening this Tuesday, April 28th, at 7pm in the Smith Memorial Ballroom at Portland State University (1825 SW Broadway.) Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door (for students, $7 in advance, $9 at the door with your ID.) Get your advance tickets by calling or visiting PSU’s box office at (888)845-8457 or 1825 SW Broadway, or going to www.ticketmaster.com. We hope to see you there!
