RSA ConversationsSPARKS: Nadya Tolokonnikova – Life As Art, As ActivismHow can injecting ideas into art create meaningful direction? Nadya Tolokonnikova is perhaps known best for being a musician and founding member of the group Pussy Riot - but would describe themself primarily as a conceptual artist and political activist. Nadya was jailed in their home country of Russia in 2012, following a performance in Moscow Cathedral. Amnesty International named them a ‘Prisoner of Conscience’. For Nadya, concepts and ideas come first. Joy and mental health should all form part of activism, and we have the power to create our own future. Disclaimers: 2023-08-2409 min
