I think that I actually "get" Surrealism now, or at least what it means to me.
Most of the Surrealists (not you Dali) were antifascist (communist and/or anarchist) and I think much of their work was intended as an antifascist psyop.
I've made posts like "Normalize being weird" & ranted about HOA's enforcing homogeneity because I see that as part of fighting fascism.
They were trying to shatter that same "impulse towards normality". I used to think they were just "being weird artists" trying to push the limits for fun or arts sake. Maybe some of them were, but we need an #Antifascist#Art movement with a quickness.
Use it to counterprotest fascists interrupting a trans event. Use it to make a point. Use it to fundraise for local candidates that allign with your values.
