Manifesto of Dada

The Manifesto of Dada was a statement released in 1918 that outlined the ideas of the Dada movement, an art and cultural movement that emerged in response to World War I. It rejected traditional norms, logic, and aesthetic standards, instead embracing chaos, absurdity, and spontaneity. The manifesto encouraged artists to challenge conventional ideas about art and society, advocating for unpredictability and anti-bourgeois attitudes. Overall, it aimed to provoke thought and question established values, emphasizing that art could be disruptive and unconventional as a way to reflect the complexities and contradictions of the modern world.
