About the Event

Members are invited to experience engaging spotlight tours of A Radical Alteration: Women’s Studio Workshop as a Sustainable Model for Art Making and Guerrilla Girls: Making Trouble.

A Radical Alteration examines the Women’s Studio Workshop’s rich history as a proponent of book arts for marginalized communities in the U.S., where documentation and critical analysis in the field are still largely devoted to white male artists. Through artists’ books, zines, printed materials, ephemera, and archival materials, the exhibition shows how the organization’s policies, programming, and operations have evolved over the last 50 years, creating a space where the conditions of art-making and institutional support help to build a sustainable and more equitable art ecosystem.

The dynamic artist collective known as the Guerrilla Girls (est. 1985), who declared themselves “the conscience of the art world,” mark their 40th anniversary in 2025. Drawn from NMWA’s extensive holdings of work by the collective, Making Trouble presents an enthralling visual timeline of the group’s progress and ever-expanding subject matter, including gender disparity in the arts as well as politics, the environment, and pop culture.
