dadaizm

Dada was an avant-garde artistic movement that emerged around 1920, as exemplified by the First International Dada Fair held in Berlin in June of that year, where artists created provocative works like the pig-headed officer effigy. The movement mattered because it represented a radical rejection of conventional art and society, using absurdity and shock as tools to challenge established norms during a period of post-war upheaval.
