The announcement comes just days after the release of Pussy Riot&#8217;s debut  EP, xxx, and a companion series of music videos.  <!--more-->  &#8220;Nadya is one of a kind,&#8221; says Big Deal&#8217;s Dave Ayers, &#8220;Uncommonly  tireless as activist, artist, and provocateur, while somehow managing to  keep her sense of humor in tact. We&#8217;re excited to have this opportunity  to support her on a very unique adventure, ready to be amazed, and  certainly surprised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I feel blessed,&#8221; says Nadya,  &#8220;And extremely lucky that I met Big Deal  on my way. As a person who doesn&#8217;t trust corporate\/official  relationships, I&#8217;m happy to be working with a crew of intelligent people  who DO believe that Art is the ultimate goal, our goddess, and  inspiration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Pussy Riot began staging provocative guerrilla performances in public  locations in Moscow in 2011, promoting gender equality, LGBT rights, and  its opposition to Russian President, Vladimir Putin. In 2012, she,  along with two others, was tried and convicted of &#8220;hooliganism motivated  by religious hatred&#8221; following a performance in the Cathedral of Christ  the Saviour. She served most of a two-year sentence of hard labor in a  Siberian prison, was subsequently recognized by Amnesty International,  and received the LennonOno Grant for Peace in 2012.<\/p>\n<p> Last week&#8217;s release of &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; (produced by Ricky  Reed), &#8220;Organs,&#8221; and &#8220;Straight Outta Vagina&#8221; (both produced by Dave  Sitek), saw a new global light shed on the project. Amid the wide array  of media coverage, Nadya spoke with Pitchfork and NPR&#8217;s Morning Edition.<\/p>\n<p> Source: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wearepussyriot<br \/>Photo credit: <span class=\"mw-mmv-filename\">Igor Mukhin<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big Deal Music is pleased to announce the signing of a publishing agreement with Pussy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6292\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
