The First International Dada Fair was an art exhibition held in Berlin, Germany, in June 1920. It was a key event for the Dada movement, an anti-art and anti-aesthetic movement that emerged during World War I. Dadaists rejected traditional artistic conventions and bourgeois values, often using collage, photomontage, and found objects in their work. The Berlin Dadaists, including Raoul Hausmann and Hannah Höch, were known for their politically charged and satirical creations. The fair showcased these provocative works, reflecting Dada's spirit of rebellion and critique.12
