*our prompt: In this capitalist hellscape, absurdism revolts against rigid ways of thinking and creates space for radical change. Absurdist movements such as dada, fluxus, and surrealism challenge notions about reality, meaning, and perception. While governments and corporations use visual and written language for propaganda, absurdism is a reclamation of these vehicles for communication and connection.
