Police State documents Nadya Tolokonnikova's powerful 2025 performance exhibition at MOCA Los Angeles. Best known as an artist, activist, and founder of Pussy Riot, Tolokonnikova explores the experiences of political prisoners, dissent, and resistance through a multimedia installation featuring prison letters, drawings, photographs, and other works created by incarcerated activists.
Created at a moment of global debate about civil liberties, protest, and state power, Police State examines how art can challenge repression and bear witness to injustice. Richly illustrated and thought-provoking, this substantial volume extends the exhibition's themes beyond the gallery, highlighting the enduring role of creative expression as an act of resistance.
