Some artistic support of Maria Alelchina, Nadezhda, Nadeezhda Tokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich,from Russian punk protest group Pussy Riot, by seminal artist Jamie Reid. Who have been imprisoned in Russia since March, charged with "hooliganism on the grounds of religious hatred." The bands crime? They performed a protest song, "Virgin Mary Reddeem Us of Putin," in front of the altar at Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow on Feb 21. It was one in a string of guerilla concerts, including one in Red Square, the band has staged since its formation a little more than a year ago. They have used music and performance art to express their anger at Vladimir Putin, his return to power and the rising signs of an increasingly repressive regime.
It is our moral right to draw, play, shout, jump up and down, and speak freely and share with the world moral injustices.
