Nadya Tolokonnikova Builds a Prison of Her Own The Pussy Riot co-founder undergoes a 10-day durational performance in a recreation of a cell in “Police State.”

I spoke with #NadyaTolokonnikova about her current durational performance "Prison State" at MOCA Geffen, and the sadly familiar, but unsurprising, events unfolding outside the museum's walls, for @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/1019147/nady...
