Nadia: 我从小学习钢琴,这为我后来的音乐创作打下了基础。我创作的朋克祷告,包含了对俄罗斯现状的希望、愤怒和对未来的憧憬,歌词涉及生殖公正、教会腐败以及对同性恋群体的支持。因为挑战普京的权威,我为此付出了沉重的代价,包括在监狱劳改营里度过了将近两年的时间,每天被迫缝制警服。尽管如此,我坚信我们所做的是正确的,Pussy Riot不仅仅是一个乐队,更是俄罗斯的道德良知和全球女权运动的先锋。我们通过艺术来表达我们的诉求,挑战强权,捍卫自由。即使面对逮捕、监禁和各种威胁,我仍然不会停止为俄罗斯的自由和公正而战。我希望通过我们的行动,能够唤醒更多的人,共同为建设一个更加美好的俄罗斯而努力。我相信艺术的力量,它能够穿透谎言和压迫,触及人们内心深处的渴望。我们所做的一切,都是为了让更多的人能够自由地表达自己的声音,追求自己的梦想。虽然我身在国外,但我心系俄罗斯,我将继续用我的艺术来支持那些为自由和公正而奋斗的人们。 Nadia: 我对政治的兴趣源于我对前卫艺术的追求,我希望通过艺术来改变社会。我与朋友们成立了Pussy Riot,旨在通过游击演出引起人们对政府侵犯人权和虚伪行为的关注。我们选择这个名字,是为了收回对女性的贬义词,并将其转化为一种力量的象征。我们的行动虽然常常以被逮捕告终,但我们并不畏惧。我们相信,只有通过不断的抗议和挑战,才能最终实现真正的民主。我们利用一切可能的资源,包括从超市偷东西,与记者和摄影师合作,制作视频等,以最快的速度传播我们的信息。我们的目标是唤醒民众的意识,让他们认识到普京政府的专制和腐败,并鼓励他们采取行动,为自己的权利而奋斗。即使身处监狱,我也从未放弃我的信念。我通过绝食抗议和写公开信来表达我对监狱条件的不满,并最终被转移到西伯利亚,这对我来说是一种解脱。获释后,我继续参与抗议活动,并启动了媒体项目MediaZona,旨在揭露俄罗斯监狱和警察局的黑暗面。即使被迫离开俄罗斯,我也从未停止为俄罗斯的自由和公正而奋斗。我相信,只要我们坚持不懈,就一定能够战胜邪恶,迎来光明。
