Velvet Terrorism: Pussy Riot’s Russia at MAC

Pussy Riot is a feminist protest and performance art collective famous for the provocative political lyrics and actions to its punk allure. Their modus operandi, by which all protest art should be “desperate, sudden, and joyous,” aims to uncover the systematic injustice of its native Russia through aggressive surveillance, political imprisonment, and endless other means to restrain liberty of speech.
