Guerrilla Girls TC Takeover Week

Since their kickoff over a month ago, the Guerrilla Girls have been hard at work with numerous projects around the Twin Cities. From protesting the Oscars in their signature style to criticizing the Minneapolis Institute of Art within their own walls.

This week, the Guerrilla Girls officially take over with numerous events around town ranging from discussion panels to gallery events. This historic takeover ends in a grand finale Saturday at the State Theater.
