On Thursday, September 12, 2019, the gathering center "Halls of the Abyss" opened its doors at the 1:1 Center for Art and Politics, in the Neve Shaanan neighbourhood of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, in celebration of the first decade of the Order of the Unclean of artist Assi Meshullam. The house functioned for several weeks as a place for gathering, practicing ritual, studying and deepening in the order’s philosophical and ritual contents. 

 

About the Order:

In 2005 CE, the book "Ro’achem" was written, describing the experiences of young Ro’achem, who is a hybrid, the result of a forbidden bestial intercourse between a man and a female dog. Ro’achem, whose personality combines his human wisdom with his animalistic impulses, grows on the boundary between culture and nature, developing a controversial philosophy which he passes on to his followers in the last part of the book.

Since the book was written, the ideas brought within it have been studied and developed, and it has been widely used for artistic and philosophical activities that were nourished by the inspiration inherent in it. Many exhibitions and works of art made following the advent of the book were actually inspired by Ro’achem’s ideas and philosophical teachings.

 

On 09.09.09, four years after the writing of "Ro’achem" the Order of the Unclean was founded, and served as a platform for bringing those ideas to the public's knowledge, and disseminating a kind of a new “Torah”, which was inspired by the hybrid’s teachings, and was also adapted to the needs and conditions of the contemporary reality.
