Pussy Riot / Zona Prava
15.-16.5.14
Sølvberget / Kunsthall Stavanger
Political activism / protest art / documentary / performance / concert
During two days artists from the Pussy Riot movement from Russia visited Stavanger. The movement is most known for their performance concert in a church protesting against their president, and is probably the best internationally known opposition to the regime. During the visit's artist talks, exhibition, performance and presentation of a fresh documentary we got to know their background and aims better. Their protest is not only against the current regime, but also about the commercialisation of the church, its ties to the regime, the female rights, and now also the prison system. In other words, they have plenty of tasks to attend to.
It is interesting to realize that the only sfere in Russia where protest is slightly allowed is in art.
