Pussy Riot’s Nadya Tolokonnikova staged a performance art protest for reproductive rights on the steps of the Indiana supreme court building on Tuesday.
Joined by students and faculty from Indiana University, the longtime activist and artist said that the demonstration was prompted by both Tolokonnikova’s frustration with the current state of reproductive rights in the state and the university’s invitation for her to participate in a ticketed Q&A with students about authoritarianism and activism’s intersection with art.
