Ep 69: Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot

Why Not Both is an exploration of how our multiple passions shape our identity, hosted by musician and therapist Pam Shaffer and produced by writer and photographer Laura Studarus.  For our fourth season, we partnered up with Under The Radar to explore the lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives. As one of the founding members of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova has used her art as activism over the course of the last decade. From bringing about prison reform in Russia to helping people escape the toxic dynamics of abusive relationships, Nadya is not shy about using her voice to address the problems she sees around her. Throughout her work, she embodies the ethos that collaboration is more powerful than individual creative genius and we are all the more grateful for her artistic adventures.
