Gena, a queer artist from a small town in Russia, creates and dresses in fantastical costumes and protests against the government on the streets of Moscow. Born and raised in Magadan, an icy outpost of the Soviet gulag, Gena is just 21. She staged radical public performances that have become a new form of art and activism. Her aim was to change people’s perceptions of beauty and gender, and to draw attention to the harassment suffered by the LGBTQ+ community. The shows – often dark, strange, evocative and queer – are a manifestation of Gena’s subconscious. But they come at a high price.
