Dadaism, or Dada, was an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, during World War I. It originated in Zurich, Switzerland, around 1916, and quickly spread to other European cities like Berlin, Paris, and New York. Dadaism was characterized by a rejection of traditional artistic conventions and an embrace of chaos, irrationality, and absurdity.
