surrealism
Surrealism is an art and cultural movement that developed in Europe in the aftermath of World War I in which artists aimed to allow the unconscious mind to express itself, often resulting in the depiction of illogical or dreamlike scenes and ideas. Its intention was, according to leader André Breton, to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality into an absolute reality, a super-reality", or surreality. It produced works of painting, writing, photography, theatre, filmmaking, music, comedy and other media as well.

enclosed A
The circle-A or anarchist A, written as Ⓐ, is a graphic and political symbol representing the anarchist movement and ideology. Seeking a symbol that could easily represent the entire movement, it was conceptualized in April 1964 by the Libertarian Youth group of Paris. It was made on the initiative of Tomás Ibáñez, and was graphically represented by René Darras. The symbol initially remained confidential in France for a few years before spreading to Italy, especially to Milan, in 1968. Starting in the early 1970s, the circle-A spread across Italy, France, and then throughout the world.
