Russian conceptual artists and political activists Nadezhda (Nadya) Tolokonnikova and Maria (Masha) Alekhina are founding members of the art collective Pussy Riot, who became a global symbol of dissent in Russia with their idiosyncratic blend of feminist art and activism. They were sentenced to two years' imprisonment in August 2012, following an anti-Putin performance in Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Saviour.
In 2014, they founded an NGO, Zona Prava, to defend prisoners’ rights and draw the attention of the world to the abuses of the regime. They joined us at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas to talk about their work, in conversation with Masha Gessen. (In Russian with translation, Stream Premiere)
