What You'll Learn

Guerrilla Girls BroadBand (GGBB) is creating preventative anti-rape education workshops among college students (with the future goal of extending to high school students). 1 in 5 women are raped in their lifetime. As an activist strategy, working at the intersection of facts and humor, we create interactive, hands-on workshops to empower and educate students on rape. We run campus rape awareness workshops collaborating directly with students on poster design that is rooted in their own college communities. To amplify the results of these workshops, posters are distributed through social media and collaborations with on-campus organizations, and local arts and community centers for distribution.

The Guerrilla Girls have a long history of social and political intervention through postering on the street and began #GGBBCampus in 2015.

Workshop Process

• We provide current news and research to students in advance
• we provide effective models of Guerrilla Girls posters to introduce who we are and to serve as a design tool
• we facilitate an inclusive intergenerational discussion about rape and students’ experiences on campus
•  we listen and create a forum to open up these taboo subjects

 Based upon this, together we design a poster that the community has personally and uniquely created; we print multiple copies and wheat-paste the final poster in strategic public places, especially local high-traffic areas that will activate a wider conversation after we’re gone.

In addition to the poster-making workshops, we initiate contact with campus student groups, artists, activists, and health and wellness advocates to create interdisciplinary, interactive panels, lectures, classroom visits, and studio visits.
