A decade after her highly publicized imprisonment in Russia, Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova is making a deliberate return to the prison cell – as a performance artist. From June 5 to 14, she will inhabit a mock Russian jail cell at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, staging a 10-day installation that reclaims her narrative through art.
In her installation Police State, Nadya Tolokonnikova confronts the chilling realities of control and surveillance. Viewers can observe her performance through security camera feeds and peepholes located throughout the museum, experiencing firsthand the alienation of living under systems designed to dominate the body, mind, and spirit. Through this interplay, Tolokonnikova invites the audience to grapple with the mechanisms of oppression while seeking the sparks of hope that resist it.
