The Guerrilla Girls will be visiting Anderson Ranch Arts Center as part of the organization's Recognition Week.

The Guerrilla Girls have been calling out sexism and racism in the art world since 1985. They wear gorilla masks to conceal their identities, and their founding members go by the aliases Frida Kahlo and Käthe Kollwitz.

This week, the pair will be at Anderson Ranch Arts Center hosting a workshop and lecture as part of the organization’s Recognition Week. Arts and culture reporter Kirsten Dobroth spoke to Kahlo and Kollwitz ahead of the event.

Kirsten was born and raised in Massachusetts, and has called Colorado home since 2008. She moved to Vail the day after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2011. Before relocating to Basalt in 2020, she also spent a year living in one of Aspen’s sister cities, Queenstown, New Zealand.
