About the Film
Urban Disobedience Toolkit explores the evolving dynamics of public space in big cities, showing how art can inspire people to reclaim and reshape their urban environments. Through artistic interventions and performative lectures, the film illustrates ways to “take back the city.” These elements are seamlessly interwoven under the direction of artist and filmmaker Vladimír Turner, who has spent nearly two decades dedicated to art in public space. The title, Urban Disobedience Toolkit, highlights the avant-garde potential of art — not as mere decoration, but as a radical intervention and a driving force against technocratic perceptions of the world.

He has been to study stays in Buenos Aires, Valencia, Brisbane, Toulouse, Rotterdam and Australia. In his works, he oscillates between documentary film, art in public space and activism.
