Later in April, there will be two rescheduled San Francisco dates with support from Boyfriend as well. Tolokonnikova was named a top enemy of Russia for speaking out against Vladimir Putin's dictatorship throughout the last decade. In her inspiring TED Talk, she tells the story of her imprisonment and shares what motivates her resistance; delivering a powerful message to Putin himself. About Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova: Conceptual performance artist Nadya Tolokonnikova is the creator of Pussy Riot, a global feminist protest art movement.  Today, hundreds of people identify as a part of the Pussy Riot community. She was sentenced in 2012 to 2 years' imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance.  Pussy Riot's Punk-Prayer was named by The Guardian among the best art pieces of the 21st century: "feminist, explicitly anti-Putin, protesting the banning of gay pride and the Orthodox church’s support of the president".  Exhibited at MoMA PS1, Palais de Tokyo, Saatchi Gallery, Louisiana Museum in Denmark, Dallas Contemporary among other places. Live performances at Glastonbury, Outside Lands Music Festival, Life Is Beautiful, and Denmark’s Roskilde, along with tours opening for MARINA, as well as headlining tours. Tolokonnikova's Putin’s Ashes art installation at Deitch Gallery in January 2023 propelled her into a new criminal case and put her on Russia’s most wanted criminal list.  https://www.youtube.com/wearepussyriot https://www.instagram.com/nadya https://www.instagram.com/pussyriot/ https://twitter.com/nadyariot https://twitter.com/pussyrrriot https://www.facebook.com/wearepussyriot/ https://zona.media/ https://unicorndao.com/
