After decades under a pseudonym, Joyce Kozloff has finally revealed her identity as one of the founding members of the Guerrilla Girls. Though she initially kept her anonymity to spotlight feminist issues, the ongoing fight for women’s rights continues to concern her.
In an interview with Art Journal Open, Kozloff disclosed that 'Liubov Popova' was her assigned name within the collective. The group's iconic gorilla mask emerged from a misheard title, and their campaigns targeted sexism and racism in the art world.
Reflecting on her journey from feminist activism to public art, Kozloff admitted she was part of the Guerrilla Girls until 1991. Today, she sees significant progress but worries about current threats to women’s rights, particularly regarding reproductive freedoms.
The group's legacy lives on in their bold posters and campaigns, which remain relevant as ever. The next generation will find their own ways, Kozloff concludes, leaving us with the question: what issues should they focus on?
