Current Events in Ukraine and Art Activism

Current Events in Ukraine and Art Activism

“Probably art is the only sphere where protest is still possible and still might be an influence. I don’t see any other possible structure or way to strengthen the political system.” -Alexander Cheparukhin

Tuesday, April 12, 2022, we hosted Barrett Barrera Conversations: Current Events and Art Activism. Susan Barrett, our president and founder, and Alexander Cheparukhin, manager of feminist protest punk rock and performance art group Pussy Riot, shared a conversation about the invasion of Ukraine, what it means for his community, and the important role of protest art.
