Nadya Tolokonnikova brings her internationally touring exhibition to Turner Carroll Gallery, June 28-July 16, 2025.
Nadya Tolokonnikova
June 28–July 16, 2025
Turner Carroll Gallery, Santa Fe
Nadya Tolokonnikova’s art is her weapon against tyranny. Born in Siberia in 1989, Tolokonnikova left Moscow at age 16 to study philosophy. As Russian society became increasingly oppressive, Tolokonnikova became a multimedia conceptual artist and founded the feminist activist collective Pussy Riot.
Pussy Riot used microphones, electric guitars, and amplifiers they cobbled together from car speakers; they shouted and danced to shine a light on the Russian government’s increasing human rights violations.
Russian police have arrested Nadya Tolokonnikova more than seventy times for her anti-authoritarian art activism, and in 2012 was imprisoned for twenty-one months in a Russian jail and a Siberian penal colony. Rather than give up, Tolokonnikova fights back with truth and art.
Turner Carroll is pleased to present Tolokonnikova’s internationally touring exhibition of works, which premiered at the OK Linz Museum and at LA MoCA, making them available for collectors. Join us for the opening and a presentation by Nadya Tolokonnikova on June 28, 2025.
Turner Carroll Gallery has represented international contemporary and museum-collected artists since 1991. Located in Santa Fe’s historic gallery district of Canyon Road, summer 2025 will see a number of important solo exhibitions at Turner Carroll, including Nadya Tolokonnikova, Jeanette Pasin Sloan, Mokha Laget, and Clarence Heyward.
