π¨β¨π¨β€οΈβπ₯ 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. @NadyaRiot @PussyRiot @Container_TurnerCarroll
“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 Riotβs 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.

“THIS ART IS A HAMMER THAT SHAPES REALITY”: PUTINβS ASHES AND NEW POLITICAL FINE ART SERIES AT CONTAINER SANTA FE
On June 30, 2023, I took over CONTAINER to create a 5,000 sq. ft. immersive art exhibition, turning it into an activist playground for the international premiere of my conceptual artworks, prison artifacts, as well as the New Mexico premiere of her first short film and original musical score, Putinβs Ashes. New works include “Death By 1000 Cuts” (100 conceptual art pieces), “This Art is a Hammer That Shapes Reality” (23 conceptual art pieces), “HAUNTED!” (sculpture), Drink My Blood” (sculptural collage based on an original copy of Tolokonnikova’s freedom certificate), “Kill The Sexist!” and “Virgin Mary, Please Become a Feminist” (prints).
“Putin’s Ashes” short art film was born in August 2022 when Pussy Riot burned a giant portrait of Putin and then collected the ashes into vials to incorporate in ritualistic artworks. The performance landed me on Putinβs Most Wanted list, and instigated an arrest warrant under the Russian “Pussy Riot Law.”
I’m exhibiting my prison artifacts, including my prison paperwork and “Drink My Blood” sculptural collage (2021, mixed media: Tolokonnikova’s freedom certificate, needles, blood, stuffed animals) and “Death by 1000 Cuts” (2023) series – framed prison shivs fashioned out of found materialsβincluding prison barsβwhich were ground to resemble those ground against the cement of the Russian penal colony in which she was imprisoned for βhooliganism.β Conceptual art series “This Art is a Hammer That Shapes Reality”, an homage to Bertold Brecht.
