Lineup:
Pussy Riot Sweat and Blood by Diana Burkot (Russia/Iceland). This project shares personal stories intertwined with the social context of repression and restrictions on freedom, particularly in Russia. Themes of trauma, internal emigration, and daily life serve as a foundation for reflecting on cultural and political processes. The project highlights the importance of the "Theory of Small Actions," focusing on meaningful steps that can create societal change.
(Note: This project is an artistic expression based on real events, interpreted through the creator’s perspective.)
Diana Burkot is a member of the feminist punk group Pussy Riot. She participated in the iconic February 21, 2012 protest at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and remained anonymous until the criminal case's statute of limitations expired.
Elsi Sloan (solo) (Finland). Elsi Sloan is a queer artist, activist and actor based in Tampere. Their album "Pakko Muuttua" was releaced in 2023
MC MYASNOI (Iceland). A Reykjavík-based bimodal group performing deconstructed experimental electronic pop or experimental electronic anime emo-drone/doom-metal. MC MYASNOI are active members of Post-Dreifing and the Spider Network—interconnected DIТ grassroots artist collectives.
Hypertrax (Finland). An experimental electronic project by Erix Aboltins, exploring industrial music, drone, post-industrial, and noise genres.
Parland (Finland). It’s off to the races as Parland brings her assorted mix of industrial techno, deconstructed breaks and EBM with a touch of slavic noir.
The concert's goal is to raise funds for the "Father Frost Against putin" Festival.
