Friday, September 06, 2024 - Sunday, February 02, 2025

Russian art-punk band Pussy Riot has unveiled a new museum exhibition at Munich's Haus der Kunst in a former air-raid shelter.

"In illustrating an increasingly hostile relationship between the feminist art collective and the state authorities, the exhibition offers essential insights into the evolution of Putin's Russia over the past decade, culminating in the military invasion of Ukraine," the museum said in a statement.

"Over the years through their artistic practice, Pussy Riot has ingeniously converted the oppressive tools of an authoritarian state into a new collaborative force for creativity, fearlessly taking serious risks."
