"Wearing pink balaclavas, the protesters ran towards the Russian pavilion where they gathered outside and lit pink, blue and yellow flares while playing punk music and shouting slogans, including Blood is Russia's Art."
"Tolokonnikova, who led the protest, said: It's weird to me that Europe keeps saying that Ukraine is a shield for the entire European continent but it opens its doors time and time again to Russian propaganda."
"Pussy Riot offered to curate the 2028 Russian pavilion, pledging to use work by artists who are or have been imprisoned in Russian correctional facilities."
Pussy Riot staged a protest at the Venice Biennale against the Russian pavilion's participation, expressing outrage over the celebration of Russian art amidst ongoing conflict. Activists wore pink balaclavas, lit flares, and shouted slogans criticizing Russia's actions. Nadya Tolokonnikova condemned the festivities at the pavilion, emphasizing the contradiction of celebrating Russian culture while Ukraine suffers. The group offered to curate the 2028 Russian pavilion with works from imprisoned artists, urging the biennale's president to reject Russian funding and support for the event.
