Berliner Dada Manifesto

The Berliner Dada Manifesto, created by the Dada artists in Berlin in the early 20th century, argues against traditional art and societal norms. It promotes anti-art ideas, advocating for creativity that challenges conventional values and embraces chaos and absurdity. Dada emerged as a reaction to the horrors of World War I, emphasizing individual expression and spontaneity. The manifesto reflects a desire to dismantle established artistic standards and celebrate art's potential to provoke thought, question authority, and reflect the tumultuous human experience, encouraging artists and audiences to think critically about the nature of art and existence.
