WOMEN DADE – ONE POSSIBLE EXHIBITION 15.12. SKC

Last year and this year marks the 100th anniversary of the art, antiwar, avant-garde movement of Dadaism. All over the world, artists have performed this important art movement through various kinds of performances, exhibitions, educational and interactive events. Nevertheless, it is remarkable that the artists, whose significance was great and played a major role in the DADA movement, were not sufficiently represented in the mentioned Dadaism celebrations as well as in the DADA movement in general.
Dadaism began at the eve of the First World War in the need of artists to counter war and violence. This critical mass of creative people created an explosive movement that was a total opposition to the structure and framework of the society at the time. Dadaism as an art movement specially addresses us today when, unfortunately, we see so many similarities with that time: conflicts around the world, refugee crisis, scary poverty. In today’s political climate, artists have to find a way to engage creatively to counteract violence systems such as misogyny, wars, and terrorist profits.

The only Dadaism program was that there was no program, and that was exactly what the disgusting attitude gave the movement a power that spread in all directions, free from aesthetic and social limitations. On the other hand, it is possible that the very rejection of Dadaism that any program has led to this movement has never faced issues such as patriarchy.
Dadaists’ craftsmen worked together with their colleagues and for the first time established some artistic terms.
It is necessary to look for different interpretations that will provide a more complete picture of the DADA movement and represent the interpretation of a movement based on a more relevant history in which artists had an equally important role as artists.
