as posted by the channelMembers of anti-Kremlin activist group Pussy Riot staged protests in Venice against Russia’s participation in the Venice Biennale, waving Ukrainian flags, chanting “No Putin in Venice," and lighting blue-and-yellow flares on May 7th. The controversy comes after Russia returned to the Biennale for the first time since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, drawing criticism from Italian and EU officials. Biennale chairman Pietrangelo Buttafuoco defended the decision, saying art should remain a neutral space for dialogue.
