During <strong>the</strong> 1980s new art collectives sprang up<br />

in New York that sought to challenge through<br />

art <strong>and</strong> design social issues such as poverty,<br />

homophobia, gender inequality—all of which<br />

became important arenas of confrontation in<br />

<strong>the</strong> deeply conservative, Republican-led USA.<br />

These confrontations have come to be known<br />

as “<strong>the</strong> culture wars.”<br />

Collectives include Group Material, ACT-UP, <strong>the</strong><br />

Guerrilla Girls, <strong>and</strong> Gran Fury<br />
