CANNIBALISTS

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
