It is like your hopes: nothing
like your paradise: nothing
like your idols: nothing
like your political men: nothing
like your heroes: nothing
like your artists: nothing
like your religions: nothing
Francis Picabia, “Dada Cannibalistic Manifesto (1920)”, in Danchev/Manifestos
We want the Carahiba revolution. Bigger than the French Revolution. The unification of all successful rebellions led by man. Without us, Europe would not even have its meagre Declaration of the Rights of Man. The golden age as proclaimed by America. The golden age and all the girls.
Oswald de Andrade, “Cannibalist Manifesto (1928)” in Danchev/Manifestos
