Historical Note
Sisters of Survival was an anti-nuclear performance group founded in 1981 by Cheri Gaulke,
Jerri Allyn, Nancy Angelo, Anne Gauldin, and Sue Maberry. The group was one of the last
collectives to emerge from the Woman's Building, a non-profit arts and education center
which operated in Los Angeles between 1973 and 1991. Sisters of Survival members were also
members of other performance art groups founded at the Woman's Building: Allyn and Gauldin
were members of The Waitresses, while Gaulke and Angelo were members of Feminist Art
Workers. To symbolize their sisterhood, Sisters of Survival wore colorful adaptations of
religious habits during their performances. They also incorporated semaphore flags as
accessories in a nod to their acronym, S.O.S. During their main period of activity from 1981
to 1985, Angelo, Gauldin, Gaulke, and Maberry were based in the Los Angeles area while Allyn
coordinated activities in New York. Angelo left the group in 1982.
Sisters of Survival's activities included staging performances and exhibitions across the
United States and Europe, collecting artwork from other anti-nuclear artists, and producing
artists' books and other products such as postcards and buttons. Inspired by anti-nuclear
demonstrations in Europe, they organized a three-part project,
End of
the Rainbow
(1982-1983). In part one, they gathered artwork and produced
performances and media events in Los Angeles and New York. One of these performances was a
collaboration with Marguerite Elliot titled
Shovel Defense
(May 1982), in which the performers staged a dance of death in a mock graveyard made of
shovels at government buildings and college campuses across Los Angeles in response to a
claim by U.S. Undersecretary of Defense T.K. Jones that nuclear war was survivable if
citizens had enough shovels to dig holes to hide themselves in. Another notable performance
was
Twist for Life Habit (June 1982), staged by Allyn with
Political Art Documentation and Distribution (PAD/D), as part of the march in support of the
United Nations Second Special Session on Disarmament in New York City. Sisters of Survival
were also instrumental in organizing Target L.A. (August 1982) with L.A. Artists for
Survival and led
Fold a Crane for Peace workshops at that
event and elsewhere.
In the second part of
End of the Rainbow, they traveled
across England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Malta with their performance,
Public Action (May 1983), in which Sisters of Survival conveyed
S.O.S. notices for the planet using semaphore flags, displayed other flags with messages
collected from artists in North America, and dialogued with local activists. Their
performance locations included nuclear missile sites, former military bases, war memorials,
and city centers. Finally, part three of
End of the Rainbow
culminated in a traveling exhibition of work collected from over 300 artists across North
America and Europe, as well as the documentation of S.O.S. activities. Other works by
Sisters of Survival include
At Home in the Nuclear Age?
(1983-1985); the artists' book,
Memento Mori (1984); and an
installation for the
Secular Attitudes exhibition at the Los
Angeles Institute for Contemporary Art (LAICA) (1985), which also involved the display of a
billboard on Wilshire Boulevard. More recent retrospective exhibitions include
Making It Together: Women's Collaborative Art + Community (Bronx
Museum of the Arts, 2008) and
Doin' It in Public: Feminism and Art at
the Woman's Building
(Ben Maltz Gallery, Otis College of Art and Design,
2011-12).

Scope and Content of Collection
The archive consists primarily of project files documenting Sisters of Survival
performances, exhibitions, and publications from the group's main period of activity from
1982 to 1985, as well as some materials related to later projects. Most project files

and prints, planning documents, and fliers and other ephemera. Some project files also
contain audiovisual materials, born digital materials, and items used in exhibitions.
In addition to project files, the archive includes press clippings, administrative files,
correspondence, and a small number of documents related to projects by group members that
predate the formation of Sisters of Survival. Finally, the archive contains color slides,
fliers, and publications produced by other anti-nuclear artists and activists, especially
for Target: L.A.
The bulk of the collection was assembled by Cheri Gaulke, but it also contains files
contributed by Jerri Allyn and Anne Gauldin.
