Launching on International Women’s Day, discover a hand-signed series of seven prints by Pussy Riot (Nadya Tolokonnikova) featuring seven male faces on US paper notes disguised anonymously in balaclavas.
A woman has not been featured on US paper money in over 100 years since Martha Washington’s portrait was featured on the one silver dollar note in the 1880s and 90s. There are currently seven bills in circulation: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. These bills all feature men, each one a symbol of patriarchy.
A distinctive nod to Punk Prayer, each screen-print in this limited series displays a black and white screen-printed US paper note and colour screen-printed balaclava. Altering the chacteristics of the original dollar bills, Tolokonnikova's signature replaces the signature belonging to the US Secretary of the Treasury. Other hiddem details include a customised Serial Number 'PR03C2023', with each letter symbolising: PR (Pussy Riot) 03 (March) C2023 (CIRCA 2023).
