When small crocks of seafood bouillabaisse arrive to our table, French chef Babette is plating turtle soup for 12 onscreen. Though the multi-course “Dinner & A Movie” tasting conceived by Anderson Ranch Arts Center’s new food and beverage director Rob Ittner and Ranch Café chef de cuisine Daniel Leon is based on the classic 1987 Danish film “Babette’s Feast,” such precise timing was purely coincidental. (The event menu rearranged courses for American palates caviar-topped buckwheat blini are served as an
amuse-bouche; endive salad with Colorado cherries come before the main attraction and Ittner reassures us at the start that no turtles were harmed during the making of the meal.)

The Guerrilla Girls have spent the past 36 years fighting the powers that be in the art world, producing inspired public art campaigns to identify sexism and racism in museums and galleries and in wider cultural history.
This masked, anonymous collective who wear gorilla masks and use the names of female artists past has helped change the trajectory of culture with works like “Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?” their now-iconic 1989 poster that starkly identified that less than 5% all of the artists in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s modern wing were women but that 85% of its nudes were female. That breakthrough poster identified The Guerrilla Girls as the “conscience of the art world” and they’ve served as such ever since.
