About this artwork
This is the Trump Announces New Commemorative Months by Guerrilla Girls. Created in 2016, it’s a pair of digital prints on paper that pack a punch with bold typography, pop‑pink and yellow backgrounds and sharp statistics. The Guerrilla Girls are an anonymous collective of women artists who, since 1985, have used gorilla masks and playful pseudonyms to shout data‑driven truths about gender and racial disparities in museums and beyond. In this piece they target President Trump’s political messaging, turning a headline into a call‑out about who gets celebrated and who remains invisible. The text is simple, yet layered with irony: the facts speak for themselves while the design grabs the eye. It’s a perfect example of how the group mixes wit, public‑service rhetoric and visual immediacy to hold institutions accountable.
