Dada Dada Dada: Photos from Our 2019 Dada Shows to Date!

Performers, poets, and protesters of the approach of an AI-run world recently joined Three Rooms Press for three nights of rebel revelry. Gathering to celebrate the launch of Maintenant 13: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art, contributors presented their work on stage in sensational fashion: reading poems with panache and performing in full costume with full bands. Crowds donned art pieces of their own making, roared with laughter, drank with friends old and new, and cheered for each on-stage act of insurgence combatting a machine-controlled future. Join us again as we look back on the memories of each performance salon and as we look forward to the future of Dada artists.
