The contemporary art space Container in Santa Fe is hosting the premier of works by the co-founder of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova. It includes the film “Putin’s Ashes”, where women burn an image of the Russian president and collect the ashes, which are now part of several works in the show. At the opening Tolokonnikova sat in a replica of the cell where she was imprisoned for protesting the regime. She spoke with KUNM about why art is one of the best ways to process trauma.
