Multilevel Artistic Collective Pussy Riot on the Process of Activism

Art Is A Verb

Pussy Riot merges music, performance art and protest into hard-hitting advocacy for human rights—including prisoner's rights—while also utilizing this artistic mélange to express disdain of the current Russian government. Hosts Susan and Todd speak with members of Pussy Riot about the group's development from punk rock band to arts collective, their reflections on protests happening in the United States, and the presidential regimes of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Pussy Riot's performance income has halted due to the outbreak of COVID-19. To support Pussy Riot's work, consider making a donation to their Paypal : PR.RiotDays@gmail.com
