About DC Dada Art: Started in 2016 at the DC Art Studios, DC Dada Art was formed by AnaMarie King, Kris Roth, and Renée Regan, inspired by the historical Dada art movement. Originating in Europe during the First World War, Dada spanned visual art, poetry, and performance, and was often satirical and nonsensical in nature. DC Dada Art began with a centennial celebration of Dadaism in 2016 called The Hugo Ball – A Dada Centennial Soiree that included collage workshops, musical, poetic, and artistic performances alongside visual art. Acts of Resistance through Absurd Resilience is the third DC Dada Art exhibition at Rhizome and features pi-litical visual art of paintings, photographs, drawings, collages, sculptures, and installation art.
