"​The School of Disobedience aims to challenging inherited practices from academic art education and rethink the very idea of learning. It offers a new educational framework combining learning and unlearning. At our school, students aren't just makers of art; they become inventors of methods and creators of opportunities. Here, they reclaim their voices, bodies, and emotions, becoming leaders in both their artistic practices and personal lives. Together, we transform the school into a brave and safe space, where confidence and trust lead us towards profound transformation."

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 antidote to fast art, a collective healing garden, an ode to sincerity and courage, a passionate and radical platform for simple actions and profound changes.​
