In 1985, feminist activists created a protest group called the Guerilla Girls. Since then, their purpose has been to underline and expose three major issues women artists, as a whole, have encountered historically: a) their glaring absence in major international museums, b) their (in)voluntary marginalization from history books, c) the lack of funds granted to their projects.

---

30 years after the establishment of the Guerilla Girls and 40 years after the inception of the ISU University Museums, what is the current state of women and women multicultural artists? We hope to discuss the role of women in the arts and discover some new perspectives about the current exhibition (Re)discovering S(h)elves. The roundtable will be moderated by Michele Schaal, exhibition co-curator and assistant professor in English and Women's Studies.
