A #Manifesto by the #GuerrillaGirls
The #feminist collective’s rules for #Art #museums.
Guerrilla Girls is an anonymous group of feminist #artists on a longstanding mission to fight #sexism and #racism within the art world. The group was formed in New York City in 1985 to tackle systemic issues with #guerrilla methods, using iconic posters, books, billboards, interviews and more. Their work is colorful, distinctive and humorous. To protect individual identities in interviews, they wear gorilla masks and use pseudonyms that refer to historical female artists such as Frida Kahlo and Käthe Kollwitz, as well as writers and #activists like Gertrude Stein and Harriet Tubman.

Late afternoon city of the future carbuncle development camera and lens test. This time it’s the diminutive Pentax Auto 110 and its 18mm wide angle.

Only later did I realize what an incredible subject the Sydney Opera House is. Especially in black and white, the over 1 million ceramic tiles become a stunning highlight, glowing in all shades of gray. If you ever get the chance to visit Down Under, don't miss out on seeing the Opera House. I should have taken more time, but for me, this day still felt like the middle of the night with a 10-hour time difference.
