A Theoretical and Practical Guide to Self‑Identity Transformation

This project aims to challenge our everyday ideas of selfhood as fixed, coherent, and fundamentally unchangeable. Through theoretical inquiry and practical exercises, this guide offers tools for a deliberate disruption of the self-using practices grounded in critical theory, psychology, and technologies of the body and mind. This is not a self-help guide, but an invitation to part ways with the given self, to take on a creative disposition toward self-identity, and to explore the possibility of becoming someone entirely different. Mentored by: Nomi Geiger, Naama Tobias.
