What is DADA?
The latest issue of MAINTENANT: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art has hit the newsstands—for the first time ever, in full color! We thought it might be a good time to offer some background on DADA and what makes it so special to us.
The original Dada movement started in Zurich, New York and Paris in 1915-16 and grew from a feeling of desperation in the face of World War I. Many Dadaists believed that the “reason” and “logic” of a bourgeois capitalist society had led people into war. They expressed their rejection of that ideology through artistic expression that appeared to reject logic and embrace chaos and irrationality. In addition to being anti-war, Dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchist in nature. Tenants of the movement continue through today.
Three Rooms Press draws much of its inspiration from Dada and its legacy, including the beat movement, punk rock, pop art and the underground poetry and artscene. Three Rooms Press is particularly inspired by the life and work of Arthur Cravan. READ MORE

Author Profile
Making an impact through writing and art with Nassrine Azimi and Michel Wasserman
Last Boat to Yokohama authors Nassrine Azimi and Michel Wasserman discuss writing, opera, and Beate Sirota Gordon's legacy with Three Rooms Press editor Constance Renfrow.
This May, we at Three Rooms Press released Last Boat to Yokohama, a gorgeous tribute to Beate Sirota Gordon, the woman who secretly helped write Japan’s post WWII constitution, drafting an article granting women’s equality, and who, for the next four decades, orchestrated the exchange of arts, culture, and ideas between Eastern and Western worlds. Following two triumphant book launch celebrations in NYC, we’re sitting down with authors Nassrine Azimi and Michel Wasserman for a conversation about books, creativity, and upcoming works.
