How is collage related to nonsense?

Why were magazines and typography important in Dadaism?

PRACTICAL ACTIVITY

Create a Dada artwork including:

A collage using magazine cutouts

An absurd or illogical element

Dadaism teaches us that art does not always need to be logical or beautiful. Through absurdity and provocation, artists challenge reality and encourage new ways of thinking.

Rather than destroying art, Dadaism transformed it and expanded its possibilities.
