"School of Disobedience" is an experimental and anti-canonical visual and performance art school. Based on critical pedagogy, arts-based unlearning and women empowerment, the school helps students achieve critical consciousness through the regular practice of questioning, protesting, resisting, defying and revolting.
Composed of thematic and modular individual and group classes, immersive experiences, field activities and public showings (performance, exhibition, public space intervention...), the program briefly introduces a series of theoretical disciplines (Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Sexuality-, Gender and Queer Studies, Womens' rights, Body politics, Autoethnography, Politics of desire...) and concepts (feminism, oppression, domination, exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, violence, cultural appropriation...) through the exploration and practice of different artistic forms, techniques and tools (performance, dance, drawing, writing, photo, video, multimedia...). |
Structured with exercises, creative tasks, dialogues, immersive experiences and public presentations, the "School of Disobedience" is helping you to push yourself out of your comfort zone, transform your imagination and open yourself to new forms, aesthetics and inspirations. During the classes you will use different artistic techniques and tools to generate both new works and seeds for the work you are in the midst of creating. You will be doing performances, including dancing, storytelling, and puppet theatre, drawing and writing, video, gifs and photography within immersive, intensive and experimental contexts. So as to stimulate different parts of the brain and the body, you will move back and forth between moving, writing and drawing. You will also receive one-on-one mentoring (including critical feed-back in the analysis, application of the method and the clarity of details) during the development of your own original artwork.
