The Gals are talking about protest art today and they are a bit nervous over this episode. They give a brief history on protest in the united states (because it is an hour long show and would be impossible to give even the briefest oral history of protest as it relates to humankind), then talk about protests artist of all kinds, and end the show with some discussion on protest sign art and their adventure at the Women’s March. Your Artsy Gals love you (so don’t be a turd about this episode).
