“Velvet Terrorism: Pussy Riot’s Russia” is the largest presentation of the feminist art collective to date and the first museum exhibition in Germany dedicated to Pussy Riot. In light of current political
debates, it explores what resistance means in art. The exhibition features intimate cell phone footage, videos, and handwritten texts by Pussy Riot, documenting their protest actions in Russia and highlighting their increasingly hostile relationship with state authorities.
Set in the historic LSK-Galerie, “Velvet Terrorism: Pussy Riot’s Russia” offers an intense experience that shows an important chapter of recent world history and presents an artistic practice that reshapes media language.
The exhibition is curated by Ragnar Kjartansson, Ingibjörg Sigurjónsdóttir, Dorothee Maria Kirch, Kling & Bang Reykjavik; Andrea Lissoni, Lydia Antoniou, Margarita, Haus der Kunst München.
