2025, Installation, Performance — shown in Master’s Projects | Summer semester 2025.

Can rebellion be prompted? And by whom? What does teenage rage look like? What forms can resistance take? The project A Vandalistic Box is a playful exploration of guerrilla artivism, and ways of rebelling (not) just against school-enforced dress codes, gender roles, and institutional hierarchies – all while debating how one can challenge patriarchal societal structures while growing up in them.
As a reaction to the newly enforced gendered dress code at my old high school in Slovakia, I got in touch with its students and designed fu*cute shirts which turn the rules on their head – and in collaboration with the teenagers, I have offered these as prompts for conversation, rebellion, and unboxing of their reactions to all of this BS.
