Sisters of Survival
Sisters of Survival (S.O.S.) was an anti-nuclear performance art group founded in 1981 by Jerri Allyn, Nancy Angelo, Anne Gauldin, Cheri Gaulke, and Sue Maberry. Emerging from the feminist art movement, S.O.S. used the nun image to represent a sisterhood ordered around nuclear disarmament and world peace. Clothing themselves in the colors of the rainbow, their imagery evoked hope, humor, and a celebration of diversity.
Inspired by anti-nuclear war demonstrations in Europe, S.O.S. created "End of the Rainbow," a three-part conceptual art project that generated dialogue between the people of North America and Western Europe about the nuclear threat. It included artists' books, a billboard, public performance art staged for the media and the general public, slide lectures, networking with artist and activist groups, a radio program and exhibitions.
