In spite of the repression they have suffered, and the difficulties they still face today when they protest the current situation in Russia, Pussy Riot keep going.
In a meeting with the press in Belgrade, ahead of their performance in a river boat club over the Danube, the lead signer Maria Alyokhina, known as Masha, was very vocal about the group’s mission.
“I believe art is changing the world. And can change the country itself. Because art is the only field, the only sphere in which asking uncomfortable questions is possible”, Masha said. And indeed, when you see their show, you realise how much they champion their ‘artivism’.
