The face of modern protest is wearing a brightly coloured ski mask.  Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, is a creative activist, professional protester, brazen feminist, shocking visual artist, and force to be reckoned with. Her spontaneous, explosive approach to political action has involved jumping over barbed wire, kissing police officers, giving guerrilla performances in crowded subway cars, and going on a hunger strike to protest the abuse of prisoners. She's been horse-whipped by police in Sochi, temporarily blinded when officers threw green paint in her eyes, and monitored by the Russian government. But what made Nadya an activist icon overnight happened on February 21, 2012, when she was arrested for performing an anti-Putin protest song in a Moscow church.  She was sent to a Russian prison for 18 months and emerged as an international symbol of radical resistance, as calls to 'Free Pussy Riot' resounded around the world. With her emblematic ski mask, black lipstick, and unwavering bravery, Nadya has become an emissary of hope and optimism despite overwhelming and ugly political corruption.  Read \u0026amp; Riot is structured around Nadya's ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate! Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the typical \"call your senator\" guidelines, Read \u0026amp; Riot gives us a refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right to question every status quo and make political action exciting - even joyful.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49598157029649,"sku":"GOR010850906","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53197842153745,"sku":"GOR014802884","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1529393124.jpg?v=1751021821"},{"product_id":"police-state-book-nadya-tolokonnikova-9798898140304","title":"Police State","description":"\u003cb\u003ePOLICE STATE documents Nadya Tolokonnikova's 10-day performance exhibition at MOCA Los Angeles (2025). Tolokonnikova is an artist, activist and a creator of Pussy Riot.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Once upon a time, Americans were far away from the operations of dictatorships in other parts of the world; now, for the first time, we are not looking elsewhere for examples of government suppression of lawful citizen protests. In Los Angeles, Chicago, Maine, Arizona, and Minneapolis, armed, masked ICE agents are attacking protesters with pepper spray, tear gas, truncheons, physical assault, deportation, arrest, and, yes, lethal force.\u003cbr\u003e In contrast to the tactics of unhinged dictators, artists in places like Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia are practiced in the use of art -- painting, installation art, photography, literature and music - as a contrast and a challenge to the abuses of such regimes. In June 2025, documenting the incarceration of dissidents, a founder of the all-women band, Pussy Riot, created an installation with images, prison letters, drawings, and other artwork by Russian political prisoners. But there is more: she also included images of ICE -- under the guise of homeland security -- outside her exhibition at MOCA-Geffen in Los Angeles: brutality and fascism at the doors of an arts institution devoted to free expression.\u003cbr\u003e Suddenly our democracy is under threat. And, suddenly, a book on art as resistance is available, timely and necessary.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53666179416337,"sku":"NIN9798898140304","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798898140304.jpg?v=1781464003"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-nadya-tolokonnikova.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
