Art Action Foundation, founded and led by Nadya Tolokonnikova, is dedicated to fighting the erasure of artists by authoritarian or pro-authoritarian governments and preserving their legacies against censorship and repression. Art Action Foundation strives to protect and elevate the voices of artists at risk of being silenced. By creating and promoting visual art and performances that champion democracy and progressive values, the Foundation aims to inspire a new generation—especially young people from marginalized communities and repressive environments—to embrace their identity and boldly express themselves.
