THE EARLY INSTIGATORS: Sarindar Dhaliwal, Jocelyn Purdie and Alana Kapell, 1980's

1980's performance art by OKWA members and supporters

"The Guerilla Girls emerged in the mid-1980's when some female artists realized that conventional methods of protest weren't working with respect to women's representation in the art community. Their approach to change is full of humour and catchy slogans such as 'Do women have to be naked to get into the Met?' ".

Beth McPhail, Malka Kauffman and Aida Sulcs McDonald performing in an early Women's Art Festival in the 80's.

                  

Jocelyn Purdie partnered with Alana Kapell to form the Kingston Women Artists and continued devoting her efforts to incorporating the group into the Organization of Kingston Women Artists, giving many years to this group.
