Berlin Dada was an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily between 1918 and 1923, in response to the chaos of World War I. It was part of the broader Dada movement, which rejected traditional artistic values and embraced absurdity, spontaneity, and anti-bourgeois sentiments. Berlin Dada artists used various mediums, including collage, performance, and poetry, to challenge societal norms and provoke thought. Key figures in Berlin Dada included Hannah Höch, known for her pioneering work in photomontage, and Raoul Hausmann, who experimented with sound poetry and visual art. The movement was characterized by its radical political stance and its desire to critique the prevailing cultural and social order, making it a significant part of modern art history.
