New York Dada Manifesto

The New York Dada Manifesto, created in the early 20th century by artists and writers, challenged traditional values in art and society. Dadaists rejected logic and reason, emphasizing spontaneity, absurdity, and anti-war sentiment in response to the horrors of World War I. They believed that art should be a form of protest against the accepted norms and conventions, using satire, collage, and performance to convey their messages. The manifesto aimed to provoke thought and inspire change, celebrating chaos and experimentation as a means to explore new forms of creativity and expression.
