A panel discussion exploring the Russian Feminist Punk-Rock Collective Pussy Riot with Eliot Borenstein of New York University, Ksenia Gorbenko of Penn State, Mark Lipovetsky of the University of Colorado-Boulder, and Jennifer Suchland of the Ohio State University. The panel will explore the public protests that brought the collective’s members to prominence, as well as the legal proceedings that landed two band members in jail on charges of hooliganism. The discussion will uncover the ideology behind the punk-rock collective and the repercussions of their guerilla performances in Russia and around the world.
