Peaches: Free Pussy Riot

Peaches has been doing this for thirty years—making work that makes people uncomfortable, using her body as a weapon against everything uptight and controlled. Pussy Riot got arrested for it. There’s something clarifying about that, about watching artists who refuse to apologize or explain themselves, who understand that transgression isn’t a marketing angle but a necessity. The state fears pussy more than it fears guns.
