Disobedient Art in Climate Justice: 

Rehearsing Climate Justice Amid “Green” Contradictions

IETM Green School with Fossil Free Culture NL, hosted by Frida and David Limaverde, consisted of three two-hour workshops unfolding over several weeks. This edition was designed to introduce participants to the disobedient art school (d.a.s) — a project developed within Fossil Free Culture — and to collectively explore its principles and methodologies. Rooted in both artistic practice and activist urgency, d.a.s functions as a space for critical reflection, shared learning, and the cultivation of disobedient methodologies that challenge dominant structures of knowledge and power. 

These workshops aimed to increase our capacity for and deepen our understanding of radical and intersectional solidarity. The same fossil-fueled power structures that are causing the climate crisis are also responsible for systemic racism. The same colonial logic that exploits and marginalises lives is also responsible for gender, class, and sexual inequality. All these structures are entwined in a harmful system that is at the root of the multiple crises we face today. Through these workshops, we aimed to open up spaces where artistic creativity and activist agency are held in dynamic tension, where contradiction is not an obstacle but an invitation to deeper inquiry, and where the act of learning itself becomes a disobedient gesture.
