 The exhibition presents for the first time in Bulgaria the art of Guerrilla Girls. The retrospective `The Art of Behaving Badly` features the group’s most significant works, including the legendary poster `Do Women Have to Be Naked to Get into the Metropolitan Museum?`—a piece that made waves in 1989 by highlighting that while less than 5% of artists in modern art museums were women, 85% of the nude figures depicted were female. The exhibition is part of BFW’s multi-year Fund for Art Projects by Women Artists.

🖤 this is the first time when such an artistic collective exhibits in Bulgaria. I cannot recall another major feminist art show happening here during the recent (and not only) years. <br>
💭 the exhibition itself (the way it was arranged and presented) was nothing special and exciting - there were prints of some of the most famous works of Guerrilla Girls over the years. <br>
🖤 I imagine that the events around the exhibition must have had much stronger outcome - the opening, the workshop with the collective etc. Also, it had a nice media coverage, since it was all over my social media feeds (or at least in my bubble).<br>

''Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. museum?'' (1989) is probably one of the most famous and recognisable pieces by Guerrilla Girls.

 Less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art sections are women, but 85% of the nudes are female.

If we have a look at art history books, the majority of the artists we study are men. There were, of course, female painters, but their art is becoming visible only during the most recent years. They are still much less than men, because, back in the day, art was not as accessible for women as for men.
