"The School of Disobedience is not just about learning, it’s also about unlearning. It's a disruptive, progressive, and transformative space that challenges traditional academic art education and rethinks the very idea of "learning".
What matters to us: agency, autonomy, independence in being.
Honesty, simplicity, and generosity in making.
Here, you are in action from the very beginning. Beyond creating art, you create your own possibilities. We accompany you in becoming a daring provocateur of your own path, an inventor of new methods and artistic processes. An amplified, subversive voice. An experimental risk-taker.
This is where ideas take form, where dreams demand space, where visions turn into concrete action. If you seek a school that dares beyond the expected, that does, that considers the personal, the local, the poetic, and the politic, join us!"

​​—Anna Ádám
Founder of the School of Disobedience

Here, we don’t shape artists—we reveal them.
We nurture individuality, amplify voices, and carve out new artistic practices.
Founded by Anna Ádám, the School of Disobedience is a space of radical (un)learning, fearless creation, and unapologetic becoming. A school that disrupts, questions, and redefines. A playground for bold ideas, critical reflection, experimental research, and collaborative practices—where poetic, fragile, and hybrid forms emerge, take shape, and claim space.
Three interconnected forces drive us:

OUR PHILOSOPHY
"As a multidisciplinary artist, I've dedicated myself to exploring differentiation—a quest for autonomy and independence. Conflict, both internal and external, fuels growth rather than hindering it. In the School of Disobedience, we channel disobedience inward, challenging old patterns, familial, societal and academic conditioning. Through this transformative process, we cultivate resilience and assert our independence with newfound confidence and determination."
​
​​—Anna Ádám
Founder of the School of Disobedience
The School of Disobedience is a transformative journey, where we guide and support participants through a personal evolution from self-exploration to self-acceptance, and ultimately to self-liberation.

The School of Disobedience is a springboard where, in addition to tools, techniques, methods, and knowledge, participants learn a mindset to take control of their lives and create their own opportunities.

The School of Disobedience is an experimental playground, fostering risk-taking, critical thinking, and innovation in a positive environment where ideas turn into reality.

The School of Disobedience is an oasis of hope, where we challenge societal norms, familial patterns, and academic conditioning, empowering participants to authentically trust themselves and reach their full potential.

The School of Disobedience is a new form of resistance, an anti-fast art, a collective healing garden, an ode to sincerity and courage, a passionate and radical platform for simple actions and small changes.​
