Manifeste Dada

The Manifeste Dada, published in 1918 by the Dada movement's founders, is a foundational text that encapsulates Dadaism's radical ideas against traditional art and culture. Emerging in response to the horrors of World War I, Dada rejected reason and logic, favoring chaos, absurdity, and spontaneity. The manifesto promotes artistic freedom and challenges conventional aesthetics, advocating for anti-art that questions established norms. It reflects a disillusionment with society and a desire to provoke thought and spark change through unconventional means, using techniques like collage and performance. Overall, it is a significant commentary on the turmoil of its time.
