Hello SOTAns! This week, we're talking a little art history and a little current affairs. We recorded the original rendition of the episode back when we were just trying to keep you entertained in your coronavirus quarantine, before the murder of George Floyd and the prominent social movement that has prevailed since. We took this opportunity to reflect on how we viewed our subjects before beginning this journey in ernest to educate ourselves on antiracist discourse and decided to revisit this pre-recorded topic and add to it our critical lens of today. In the original section of the episode, we talk about the Guerilla Girls from an art historical standpoint, informing you about this anonymous feminist artist collective. Then, we did more research into how the collective has responded to the recent social movement which altered the way we spoke about them today. We hope this episode is informative and demonstrates how we in the arts must use intentional research that is relevant to today.
