OBERIU

OBERIU (or the Association of Real Art) was a Russian avant-garde literary and artistic group active in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Its members embraced experimental, often absurd and surreal styles, challenging traditional art and literature standards. They aimed to push creative boundaries by mixing humor, chaos, and unconventional ideas, often provoking or criticizing societal norms. OBERIU sought to explore new forms of expression that reflected the complexities of modern life and human consciousness, making a lasting impact on Russian avant-garde art and literature.
