A delicate butterfly immediately evokes the concept of "transformation," often framed in Western thought as a stark "before-after" dichotomy.
Rooted in monotheistic traditions, Western dualistic perspectives tend to polarize the world into opposing forces. It's a worldview where there are "good guys" versus "bad guys," where you're either "with us or against us," and where outcomes are often seen as leading to "heaven" or "hell." Socialization within such a dualistic system can foster an authoritarian and intolerant view of reality, where conflicts are central and only one way of understanding truths about the world is deemed acceptable. Any alternative viewpoints are frequently marginalized, suppressed, or erased. Systems of oppression like white supremacy, patriarchy, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, and religious bigotry thrive on this binary "either/or" thinking, relying on comparison, opposition, and exclusion. The School of Disobedience emerged from a vision to co-create a world that transcends these dualisms, embracing ambiguity, nuance, and shades of complexity. We cherish the spaces in-between, where uncertainty and doubt coexist. Our mission is to liberate "transformation" from its rigid "before-after" confines and adopt a pluralistic perspective, honoring diverse thoughts and perspectives as sources of richness and vitality. Join us as we collectively envision and construct a more inclusive and nuanced reality.

Author"Born in Budapest (Hungary) in 1983, I graduated from the ENSAPC Art School (France) in 2016. As an artist, researcher, and community activist, I harness the power of art for connection, education, and activism. My practice spans various mediums, including image, object, and performance. I create full-length visual and dance performances, short-format pieces, and immersive experiences, while also creating spaces for non-formal education outside of traditional academic heritage. Over the past two decades, I've founded the School of Disobedience, established my own performance art company (Gray Box), and launched the annual Wildflowers Festival. I embrace everything unusual, unexpected, and nonconformist. I am not kind with assholes and have learned to forge my own path. I am here to guide you in thinking outside the box and achieving independence. To me, the real party is outside the confines of the established canon." Archives
