The Polygon Gallery presents Velvet Terrorism: Pussy Riot’s Russia, a survey exhibition of the feminist performance art collective, from March 22–June 2, 2024. Drawing from more than a decade of activism, the show features documentation of Pussy Riot’s actions as assembled by member Maria Alyokhina. Videos, photographs, testimonies, song lyrics, and reflections offer a rich account of Pussy Riot’s provocative, non-violent actions — as well as the reactions of the Russian authorities. Formed in Moscow in 2011, the group has become an iconic symbol of opposition against Vladimir Putin. The touring exhibition raises awareness about the war in Ukraine, and will open in Vancouver as the conflict reaches its second anniversary.
Admission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

Dil Ka [‘of the heart’] follows Zahra, a 26-year-old Pakistani woman, as she prepares to meet her latest arranged match for marriage. Zahra spends most of the play in her family’s kitchen preparing the traditional Pakistani dish, biryani, to present to the prospective groom’s family.
Dil Ka investigates the concept of the kitchen as both refuge and place of constriction for many South Asian women, and dissects the way in which we inherit familial habits and – most importantly – recipes. Toying with direct address as a confessional to explore the intersecting identity of a queer Muslim woman and the growing tension between her familial duties and her own desires for life. As the story unfolds the biryani becomes a metaphor for the ingredients that make a “perfect bride”.
