Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in neutral Zürich , Switzerland , during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1920. The movement primarily involved visual arts , literature ( poetry , art manifestoes , art theory ), theatre , and graphic design , and concentrated its anti war politic through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Dada activities included public gatherings, demonstrations, and publication of art/literary journals. Passionate coverage of art, politics, and culture filled their publications. The movement influenced later styles, movements, and groups including Surrealism , Pop Art and Fluxus .
