Turning the Kremlin into an art center has been my dream for a while. It's not the Kremlin's fault if it's occupied by evil creatures. So we need to almost inhabit it with these nice and sparkly unicorn beings and fairies and just have like nice feminist programming in it and then it has some potential.

It’s an absolutely stunning location in Amsterdam. I’m very happy for the curator of the exhibition that they were lucky enough to agree to hold the exhibition there.

Resistance art is a symptom: when art starts, it's a sure sign that the sick regime is doomed and dying.

We are in a situation where it’s more like the Kremlin against the artists, not the other way around. The Kremlin is a conditional regime; it's the security forces or state agencies. They choose certain artists, musicians and rappers to repress and call them enemies.

When the guns roar, the muses are not silent. That's what we want to show the world.
