Feminist performance art collective Pussy Riot made international headlines in 2012 after members were arrested and imprisoned for protesting the re-election of Russian President Vladimir Putin and perceived corruption in the Russian Orthodox church. Initially known for playing lo-fi punk rock and staging impromptu protest performances, the group eventually started touring internationally, and expanded their music to incorporate left-field pop, dance, and hip-hop. During the early 2020s, they released collaborations with Tom Morello, Dorian Electra, and Big Freedia, and their mixtape Matriarchy Now appeared in 2022.
