Podcast appearances and mentions of nadya tolokonnikova

On Tuesday's show: So close…and yet so far. The Houston Cougars fell two points short of a men's college basketball national championship Monday night, falling 65-63 to the Florida Gators.In a near-reversal of Saturday's come-from-behind win in their Final Four matchup against Duke, this time it was the Coogs who led most of the way. They built a 12-point second-half lead only to see the Gators charge back to take a last-minute lead and hang on.Kris Gardner of Houston Roundball Review recaps the game for us. And Houston Public Media's Mark Norris describes the atmosphere as University of Houston fans descended on the Alamodome. Among the fans in attendance was sportscaster and UH alum Jim Nantz. We revisit our 2023 conversation with him about how his alma mater shaped his career.Then, to keep the basketball theme going, we hear from Cynthia Cooper, retired star of the WNBA's now-defunct Houston Comets and herself a former college basketball coach.Plus, we talk with attendees of a recent conference dedicated to helping women start and further their careers in STEM industries.Also, Houston Youth Poet Laureate Lucas Fang shares a poem about his mother's experience as a Vietnamese refugee.And we hear from political activist Nadya Tolokonnikova, the creator of Pussy Riot, the feminist protest and art movement, who's speaking at an event at the University of Houston on April 17.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most groundbreaking and era-defining artists around today, Nadya Tolokonnikova. A founding member of Pussy Riot, the feminist art-collective and performance group, active since 2011, Nadya is an artist, activist, and musician, who has dedicated her life to fighting for freedom, confronting the dangers of the far-right and Putin with his distorted power. Born in 1989 in the industrial city of Norilsk, Russia, Nadya moved to Moscow aged 17, where she studied philosophy. “Since childhood” as she has said, “I've loved finding myself in extreme situations. I've always lacked unusual things in my life”. In Moscow, she immediately got involved with the radical activist-art collective, Voina – which translates to ‘war' in Russian – who hit back at far-right Russian politicians with their mocking commentary performances. And from 2011, she joined Pussy Riot, with whom she performs highly outspoken and daring guerrilla gigs in public in opposition to President Putin. Global fame for Pussy Riot came in 2012, after their protest-performance in a Moscow church entitled “Punk Prayer: Mother of God Drive Putin Away”, which calls for the Virgin Mary to help them get rid of Putin. Following this, Nadya was imprisoned, where she was separated from her daughter and experienced horrific conditions. But since her release, she has continued to fight through art, in and outside of Russia, such as her attacks on President Trump and the controlling of women's bodies. Her recent film, Putin's Ashes saw her and 11 members of Pussy Riot burn – in a ritual – a picture of Putin, which she then transformed into artworks. I am in awe of Nadya, her spirit, her ability to fight on a global scale, and her constant openness to sharing her courage – after all, she has stated that any one of us can join the Pussy Riot movement, through her belief that the power of collective action can overcome all. -- -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

This episode we are thrilled to be talking with the incredible artist Nadya Tolokonnikova. Nadya is the creator of Pussy Riot, a global feminist art movement. In 2012 she was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance Punk Prayer. Punk Prayer was named by The Guardian among the ‘best art pieces of the 21st century'. Tolokonnikova's Putin's Ashes art installation at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in January 2023 propelled her into a new criminal case and put on Russia's most wanted criminal list. On June 21st, 2024 her debut museum exhibition RAGE, opened at OK Linz, Linz, Austria, and shortly after she performed the piece at the Neue Nationalgalerie on July 4.  Tolokonnikova's work is held in the permanent collections of The Brooklyn Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, Museum of Art and Design, and American Folk Art Museum, among others. Some artists discussed in this episode: Dmitri Prigov Judy Chicago Guerrilla Girls You can read more about Nadya's show with Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles here: https://deitch.com/los-angeles/exhibitions/pussy-riot-putin-s-ashes For images, artworks, and more behind the scenes goodness, follow @artfromtheoutsidepodcast on Instagram!

We meet Nadya Tolokonnikova of PUSSY RIOT, the legendary Russian feminist protest art collective. We discuss Nadya's journey in art thus far and her monumental current exhibition in Sante Fe at CONTAINER space."While working with artifacts, bottling ashes, and manufacturing the faux furry frames for the bottles, I used skills that I learned in the sweatshops of my penal colony. I was forced to sew police and army uniforms in a Russian jail. I turned what I learned in my labor camp against those who locked me up. Putin is a danger to the whole world, and he has to be stopped immediately." Nadya Tolokonnikova.CONTAINER Turner Carroll is bringing Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs "wanted list" Pussy Riot member Nadezhda Tolokonnikova to Santa Fe. The exhibition Putin's Ashes will transform CONTAINER into a kind of war zone. Pussy Riot's Putin's Ashes was initiated in August 2022, when Pussy Riot burned a 10 x 10 foot portrait of the Russian president, performed rituals, and cast spells aimed to chase Putin away. Twelve women participated in the performance. In order to join, women were required to experience acute hatred and resentment toward the Russian president. Most of the participants were either Ukrainian, Belarusian, or Russian. Nadya Tolokonnikova bottled the ashes of the burnt portrait and incorporated them into her objects that are being presented alongside her short art film Putin's Ashes, directed, edited, and scored by Tolokonnikova and co-produced John Caldwell.Follow Nadya and Pussy Riot on Instagram: @NadyaRiot and @PussyRiotView the exhibition (click here)Follow @Container_TurnerCarrollRead Nadya's book: Read and Riot: A Pussy Riot Guide To ActivismVisit the official websites: https://pussyriot.love/ https://unicorndao.com/https://zona.media/ - Pussy Riot-founded, independent news outlet.

On this special episode of Hello, Print Friend, Miranda speaks with Nadya Tolokonnikova, creator of Pussy Riot. Nadya was first thrust on the world's stage in 2012 when Pussy Riot members were arrested for performing their “Punk Prayer” in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. Since then, Nadya has continued her practice of using performance art as activism and joins us on the podcast just weeks before the opening of her solo exhibition at CONTAINER in Santa Fe. In this episode, they talk about her early art influences growing up in one of the world's most polluted and northernmost cities; how she stays loving, open, and connected when making art about all the hard things in the world; and making prints with Shepard Fairey.

There is a long and global tradition of artists—visual, performing, and literary—creating arresting, even beautiful works that address the horrors of war. How is art used as a form of protest, to change minds as well as hearts? What happens to its meaning over time—as war persists, and as new battles erupt? And what does it say about us all that war has inspired acclaimed works from artists as diverse as Pablo Picasso, Pussy Riot, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? In 1932, amid Hitler's rise to power, the German choreographer Kurt Jooss created The Green Table, a ballet subtitled A Dance of Death in Eight Scenes. As the Paul Taylor Dance Company brings this work to The Music Center—as part of its Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center series—join us for a panel discussion, moderated by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen. Can such art help us now, in a moment of many international crises? And how do warmongers and politicians co-opt and commission art as propaganda? Panelists included Gelare Khoshgozaran, artist, filmmaker and writer; Khalil Kinsey, COO, chief curator and creative director for the Kinsey African American Art & History Collection; Michael Novak, artistic director, Paul Taylor Dance Company; and Nadya Tolokonnikova, creator, Pussy Riot. This event took place on April 25, 2023 at The Music Center and was moderated by novelist and professor Viet Thanh Nguyen.

Pussy Riot Discussion Kyle Gould sat down with Leanne Million, Co-Artistic Director of Holy Fools, and Actor in We Are PR, as well as Nathan Iles, Assistant Director and Mira Maschmeyer, Director and Co-Artistic Director of Holy Fools, to talk about how a show moves from one company to another and the struggles in putting together a production while you're still looking for a venue and much of a production team.

Tonight on The Last Word: The Dominion lawsuit filing says Fox has acknowledged that there is no evidence to back their election lies. Also, House Republicans reportedly plan new January 6 probes. And a co-founder of Pussy Riot is facing possible criminal charges for anti-Putin art. Andrew Weissmann, Charles Blow, Rep. Eric Swalwell and Nadya Tolokonnikova joins Lawrence O'Donnell.

Tonight on The Last Word: Montana Sen. Jon Tester is running for re-election in 2024. Also, The New York Times reports Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have been subpoenaed in the January 6 probe. Plus, the Fulton County district attorney declines to comment on the Trump grand juror's interviews. And one year of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine takes a toll in Russia. Sen.

Born in Norilsk, an industrial Siberian town inside the Arctic Circle, Nadya Tolokonnikova was just 18 when she moved to Moscow and became a founding member of the Russian street art and performance art collective Voina in 2007. It was her strong feminist leanings that then inspired her to cofound Pussy Riot, known for playing incendiary highly political punk music while wearing balaclava head coverings. The group rose to fame following a now legendary 2012 performance of the song “Punk Prayer,” at Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior, when Tolokonnikova and two other Pussy Riot members were arrested and then convicted of “hooliganism.” She spent close to two years incarcerated in a brutal labor camp in Mordovia, Russia. But her time behind bars has not deterred Tolokonnikova from continuing to act as an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, or from leveraging the power of art in the name of activism. This week marks the opening of her first ever gallery exhibition for Pussy Riot, held at Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the new performance Putin's Ashes, in which Tolokonnikova leads a coven of women in a witch-like ritual to drive the Russian president from power, burning a giant portrait of Putin to the ground in the process. Ahead of the show's opening, Artnet News senior reporter Sarah Cascone spoke to Tolokonnikova about the challenges of presenting conceptual performance art in a white cube gallery, and how she continues to remain optimistic about political change in her native country despite the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and her continued persecution at the hands of the Russian government, which in December 2021 labeled her a “foreign agent.”

Blockchain Technology is booming and generating intense hype around the perception of digital art and collectables. You must have heard about the Nyan Cat gif, which is popular on the web and was purchased for $561,000. Jack Dorsey, CEO at Twitter, vended his first Tweet as an NFT for over $2.9 million! NFTs have existed since 2017. However, now they attract substantial attention as an evolution of fine art collecting. Since November 2017, people have spent an impressive $174 million on NFTs. Shortened from a non-fungible token, NFT might be in a form of a digital image, card, song, video or any other digital item representing a real-world object. Every NFT has a unique code proving ownership over a specific item. With NFTs, the opportunity to “brag with one's rights” is often as valuable for owners as the item itself. For instance, many people can buy reproductions of Van Gogh pictures, but the original belongs to one person only. But NFTs are often not about mere art or recognition of one's ownership. NFTs have now become a symbol of unity in an attempt to save the lives of dozens, hundreds, thousands and even millions of people, animals or the planet. BLockchain Technology to Help Ukraine Since their emergence, NFTs are frequently used for charity and fundraising, among other use cases. In 2018, a drawing of a cat turtle called Honu raised US$25,000 for ocean conservation charities. A non-profit Rewilder organizes NFT auctions to raise funds to buy land for reforestation. They claim to have raised US$241,700. Charmin and Taco Bell were also among those who engaged in NFT world to raise funds for charity. NFTs can also be used to stop wars or to help people who have lost their homes or have unacceptable living conditions and insufficient food and water. After Russia has initiated a full-scale horrific war in Ukraine leading to thousands of deaths of innocent people, Ukrainians turned to this creative tool to raise money and support the Ukrainian army as well as people who are suffering from war consequences. The global crypto community could have participated in several NFT-related initiatives so far. Among them, The UkraineDAO fundraiser organized by Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova has raised 2,174 ETH, which converts into over $5.7 million for training, ammunition and technologies for the Ukrainian military. Another NFT initiative, The Ukraine Relief NFT collection, was launched by an American of Ukrainian origin. The campaign targets to raise money that is transferred to the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee (UUARC) and will further be used to help Ukrainians suffering because of the war. Fortza Ikonia's Stand With Ukraine program is also focused on NFT. In collaboration with Felipe Posada, they intend to mint one NFT per Ukrainian, resulting in over 43 million NFTs, each can be purchased for $10. 100% of the raised money are to be transferred to charities helping Ukrainian people. A similar initiative was launched by RELI3F, a web3 initiative, which united 23 artists in support of the Ukrainian people. A Fresh NFT Initiative to Save Lives in Ukraine Recently, the Ukrainian NGO «Noosphere Association» has also launched a fundraising campaign called Art for Life for the needs of the Ukrainians using the artwork created by Ukrainian artists in a peaceful time. Long before the largest and most dreadful war in Europe in 80 years, in 2021, Ukrainian artists have created 23 art rockets to demonstrate the country's engineering and creative potential and a desire for peaceful space exploration. The rockets decorated a park in Dnipro city, where everyone could come and get inspired by their beauty and deep meanings. Now Ukrainian cities are under continuous attacks: artillery shelling and airforce throwing bombs on civil buildings, hospitals, nuclear power plants and killing civilians. The physical rockets are safe. And under such circumstances, the creative effort got a second chance to help Ukraine in a war against ...

Yuriy Matsarsky is a Ukrainian journalist turned civilian fighter against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Since the incursion began, he's been keeping the world updated with events as they happen as the host of the daily podcast Fighting for Ukraine. What We Discuss with Yuriy Matsarsky: Why did Yuriy -- and so many of his civilian countrymen and women -- turn in the tools of their trades for assault rifles to defend their homeland against the professional army tasked with invading it? Why Yuriy considers these Russian invaders more heartless and brutal against civilians -- including women and children -- than even ISIS terrorists he's encountered in war zones. What Yuriy hopes Westerners come to understand about this conflict sooner rather than later that often gets missed by mainstream media. What day-to-day life and overall morale are like for Ukrainian defenders, and how Yuriy sees this conflict ultimately playing out. Short of picking up a rifle and heading to Kyiv, what can you do to help Yuriy and his fellow defenders keep resisting the advances of their uninvited neighbors? And much more...

In this week's episode I, speak with Nadya Tolokonnikova, one of the founding members of the feminist punk rock protest collective, Pussy Riot. Nadya has been protesting against the repression of individual freedoms in Russia since she was 17. She started Pussy Riot to focus on women and non-binary people as she noticed leadership would always fall on men. The group started performing in the streets of Moscow and were being repeatedly arrested for a few hours at a time, until one day in 2012, Nadya was put in jail for two years, for performing in a church. She believes art is a more effective vehicle for influencing hearts and minds than politics and that's why she continues to perform. This year, she discovered she can use cryptocurrency and NFTs as tools to amplify her art, and coordinate people and capital on a global scale.

Where culture meets crypto. Nadya Tolokonnikova is an internationally recognized activist, artist, and is best known for being one of the founding members of the punk group Pussy Riot. While being held as a political prisoner in Russia in 2012, Nadya and Pussy Riot became the prominent figures of an anti-authoritarian, feminist, and pro-LGBT movement that had long been suppressed under a Putin-led government. Since her release in December 2013, Nadya isn't done pushing forward a global feminist movement. With the help of crypto and the launch of her new NFT collection "Virgin Mary, Please Become a Feminist", she is reshaping fundraising and activism by bringing the power back to the people.

Why Not Both is an exploration of how our multiple passions shape our identity, hosted by musician and therapist Pam Shaffer and produced by writer and photographer Laura Studarus. For our fourth season, we partnered up with Under The Radar to explore the lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives. As one of the founding members of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova has used her art as activism over the course of the last decade.

Yinka Ewuola puts a stop to the conversation that because women entrepreneurs have less time to focus on their business, they are at a disadvantage. How and why? Listen on. She runs Calla Success Systems, supporting women to build thriving and profitable businesses while living full, fabulous and nourishing lives. Yinka explains we've been sold a lie by many people when it comes to achieving business success (whatever that means to you) and this has a huge cost, especially to women.She covers how to create the most impact in your business from the time you have available – with tools and techniques you can use, now – and how she identifies high impact or high income generating activities for people to prioritise. What's the number one barrier to high impact work? Yinka explains.And I was intrigued by Yinka's use of gamification in business, a powerful tool which can be used across all spheres of business. Yinka has specific examples, such as effective on-boarding to manage client expectations, for ethical persuasion and influence, and in webinars and masterclasses to massively boost participation and engagement. Her data backs this up.Yinka is also an advocate for school food which she calls the secret weapon our education system ignores, and she is involved in another business, run on social enterprise principles, which makes food an internal part of learning and creates profit for schools themselves.I found this entire conversation fascinating and it made me look at lots of things in a new light. It's episode number 328 of Business Live and it's packed with practical tips from Yinka too.Timings:5:10 Why we’ve been sold a lie about what success means and the only way to achieve it.7:02 What drove Yinka to start her business, including a shocking statement she heard on her first day in her former life as an investment banker.9:23 The principles behind business success may be universal but how you can apply them is different depending on circumstances.11:10 Practical application: how to create the most impact using the 80:20 rule – and how Yinka’s business accelerator identifies high impact tasks.18:46 Gamification and variable rewards.20:00 On-boarding clients using gamification had a powerful effect for one of Yinka's clients.23:22 In masterclasses and webinars gamification boosts participation and engagement.28:47 School food and business as a force for good.

Feminist artist, political activist, and Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova has written a timely guide to radical protest and provides the words, actions, and inspiration to ignite the power of individuals to passionately resist and proactively plan our way to the change we want to see.

Stay or go? That's the choice facing Russia's brightest and best. As the first generation born under Putin approaches voting age, many of Russia's young people are voting with their feet. Lucy Ash meets émigrés, exiles and staunch remainers in London and Berlin, Moscow and Saint Petersburg to weigh up the prospects for the ambitious in Putin's Russia.The push and pull of Russia's exit dilemma plays out in galleries and start-ups, architecture practices and universities. Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova, is now campaigning for prison reform, and says her spell behind bars only fuels her sense of mission. "I really do love to be inside of this courageous community, risking their lives by trying to change their country. It gives sense to my life." But others - from Herzen to Lenin to Khodorkovsky - have tried to influence the Russian condition from abroad. Life outside the motherland isn't always the easy option; many struggle with feeling superfluous, with indifference or competition.Although the biggest country on earth, space for freedom of expression in Russia has been shrinking. Recently, a propagandist pop song has been urging students to mind their own business. Its lyrics include: "Kid, stay out of politics, and give your brain a shower!", a symptom of the claustrophobic atmosphere that is encroaching on public space and personal life. Some make an exit in search of a reliable environment for their business or propaganda-free schools for their children; others are fleeing homophobia or political danger.Contributors include best-selling author Boris Akunin; the rising star of Russian architecture Boris Bernaskoni; techno producer Philipp Gorbachev; exiled oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky; Nonna Materkova, director of Calvert 22 Foundation; young entrepreneur Asya Parfenova; experimental linguist Natalia Slioussar; Nadya Tolokonnikova from Pussy Riot; Russia's best-known music critic Artemy Troitsky; and curators Dishon Yuldash and Alexander Burenkov.Producer: Dorothy FeaverImage: Lucy Ash in St Petersburg, Credit: BBC

(In Russian with translation.) Pussy Riot became a global symbol of dissent in Russia with their idiosyncratic blend of feminist art and activism. When they were sent to prison, they became part of the extraordinary group of Russian writers, artists, and activists who have lived and died in the Gulag. Although the Gulags became ‘corrective labour colonies’ after Stalin’s death, what Pussy Riot members Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina found were harsh physical conditions, slave labour, malnutrition and physical violence. They have since founded an NGO to defend prisoners’ rights called Zona Prava, because with almost one million people imprisoned in Russia, this is not something that can be ignored – by Russians or the West.Nadezhda (Nadya) Tolokonnikova and Maria (Masha) Alekhina are Russian conceptual artists and political activists. They are founding members of the art collective Pussy Riot. In August 2012, they were sentenced to two years' imprisonment following an anti-Putin performance in Moscow Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. In March 2014 Tolokonnikova and Alekhina announced the opening of Mordovia office of Zona Prava, their newly created prisoners’ rights NGO. Tolokonnikova and Alekhina are Lennon Ono Grant for Peace recipients.
