Neo-Dada for Pachamama

Absurdist art for absurd times!

A window display during March 2021

at Art Work Exeter 27 Paris Street Ex1 2JB

by Annie Murdock & Herman Castaneda

Costumes made by Annie Murdock from recycled materials sourced from the Exeter Scrapstore and from found and/or natural materials.

Neo-Dada for Pachamama is a tragi-comic effort to expose the absurdities of our times in the spirit of the Dada Art ‘mode of being’ and it’s resurgence as the Neo-Dada art movement, while eyeing the Earth’s wisdom-keepers within indigenous communities across the globe, who have directly suffered from the decisions borne our of greed and corporate gain at great expense to the Earth and its peoples.

Through this playful display we hope to inspire an atmosphere of surprise, curiosity, creative thinking, art-making and, above all– conversation!
