Dada. Or: How to treat your hobby horse with multi-lingual soap.

Description

In this unit students learned about one of the most radical European art movements from early 20th century: Dada. They got an idea how Dada was an artistic response to World War I. By looking at representative art works they gained insights on how Dada’s open-minded and multi-lingual nature generated a transformative force which is still echoing in today’s world. Some DIY activities made them challenge their understanding of art and might have resulted in them re-inventing themselves as a Dadaist. At the end of this unit, we discussed on how language learning is not only about communicating with others from all over the world, but how it is also an entrance point to so far unknown spaces of creativity, critical thinking and fun.
