Nadezhda Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot's prison letters to Slavoj Žižek

Moxie,

Thanks very much for posting this, here. I would have missed it otherwise.

I've only waded into the first letter, but already I'm struck by the window it offers into depth of personality and thought, as opposed to simply the superficial sensation of much of what is in the news.

An "artistic" perspective as being one of deep thought, reflection, and action upon society. Punk as one element in an essential dynamic that serves to define same and carry it forward.

I look forward to reading through the rest.
