Drawings by a jailed Russian artist and activist go on show in the former cells of Hampstead Police station.
Sasha Skochilenko is being held at the Kresty detention facility awaiting trial on charges of distributing anti-war information in a St Petersburg supermarket.
In March 2022, the 32-year-old substituted price tags for notes detailing acts committed by the Russian army in Ukraine, including an airstrike on a Mariupol theatre.
Charged under a new law banning 'the dissemination of knowingly false information' about Russia's armed forces, she faces 10 years in jail, and has been designated a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.
The drawings in 'The Price of Freedom' were created in detention - one of the few creative activities allowed to her. Skochilenko's partner Sonya has been instrumental in planning the exhibition and sending copies of the artworks.
Members of The Russian Democratic Society in London are curating the show at the Rosslyn Hill station, which has been temporarily taken over by art charity The Koppel Project while plans are drawn up to redevelop it.
Russian speakers like Dmitrii Moskovskii want to "build a democratic future for Russia," and spotlight issues of freedom of speech as Russian anti-war protesters are assaulted, fined and imprisoned.
"It's really important right now to share information about people like Sasha who are protesting inside Russia," said Dmitrii.
"We haven't been able to get the originals of her work, but we have good quality prints and we are adding textiles, and playing her music so the viewer has the full understanding. When you enter, you can see and feel yourself as prisoner. This exhibition is about freedom; that each of us should be physically and internally free."
Skochilenko has previously created comic books about living with depression and bipolar disorder, and has endured health and psychological problems while in detention.
"She is gluten intolerant and unable to eat the prison food, as well as having psychological problems from being unable to see her mother or girlfriend," said Dmitrii, who is studying textiles and fashion in London, but returns to Russia to take part in protests.
"Protesting is not the safest option but at the end of the day I am going to live with my conscience for the rest of my life, and want to say to my children what I was doing about the war."
In an open letter, written just after her arrest, Skochilenko wrote: "Whatever my prosecutors try to do to me, however they attempt to drag me through the mud, humiliate me, put me in the most inhumane conditions, I will only take the brightest, the most incredible and beautiful things from this experience - that is what the essence of being an artist is."
