The Cultural Institute of Radical Contemporary Arts (CIRCA) presents a new work by renowned women’s rights activist, Pussy Riot (Nadya Tolokonnikova). Launching on International Women’s Day on London’s Piccadilly Lights and across a global network of digital billboard screens, Nadya Means Hope coincides with an all female-identifying auction which will support sexual and reproductive health and rights organisations including Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Influenced by the landmark overturning of Roe v. Wade on 24 June 2022 – an historic Supreme Court decision which had granted women the right to an abortion in the United States since 1973 – Tolokonnikova responds to the CIRCA 20:23 manifesto ‘Hope: The Art of Reading What Is Not Yet Written’. With the name Nadya or Nadezhda meaning "hope" in many Slavic languages, the punk icon sparks a global conversation surrounding patriarchy at a time when women’s rights are being challenged all over the world.
