Dadaism
It was an informal international movement
that began in Zurich, it had participants in Europe and North America. The
beginnings of Dada correspond to the outbreak of World War I. For many
participants, the movement was a protest against the bourgeois nationalist and
colonialist interests, which many Dadaists believed were the root cause of the war,
and against the cultural and intellectual conformity that corresponded to the
war.
