engaged art tends to surge and decline, depending, of course on the current socio-political and economic climates. Commodity artists and activist artists coexist.

 

“We had sex in public and this doesn’t frighten us anymore, we invaded a police station and this doesn’t frighten us anymore. What more is there that can scare us? We will deal with death in the future. Soon we will be completely fearless.” (2012)

 

To this day, over 200 activists have participated in Voina’s artistic protest actions and at least 20 criminal investigations into the group’s activities have been initiated (Free-voina.org).

 

On Voina, curator Artur Żmijewski had said (to gazeta.ru), “The art group participates directly in politics, something no other group in Europe does. They are absolutely unique. Their actions test the durability of democracy. Their fame is linked to the fact that their actions reflect the Russian political process, the process itself is split in two: partly European yet wildly different.” And has also written “The Voina group are the last of the righteous, who speak to us of how things should be, so that they may once again come true.”

 

A VOINA activist in a police uniform covered by an Orthodox priest’s cassock with a massive cross performed robbery in a high-class supermarket in Moscow.

The crime was committed with the impunity enjoyed by priests and cops in today’s Russia.

Femen, a Ukrainian feminist group have gained much interest due to their scrupulous attitude of self-proclaimed sextremism which has turned into becoming infamous for organising naked protests. Some of the prominent examples of their work are the topless protests at the 2012 Olympics in London, in hostility towards 'bloody Islamist regimes' or the cutting down of a crucifix in Kiev, in support for fellow feminists, Pussy Riot  just as a Moscow court was due to deliver its verdict in the case.

 This goal of feminism expressed by Femen and their strategies are indicative of the idea that Western ways of thinking are in some way essentially legitimate and greater. Their feminism however, is not a cultural paradigm that can be applied to all.

Riot grrrl has always been a force to be reckoned with; it was an underground feminist movement that began early on in the nineties, which was very much united with punk music, feminism, radical politics, and a DIY aesthetic.
