Poet involved
What happened
In 1916, Mina Loy became actively involved in the Dada movement while living in New York City. This avant-garde movement, known for its anti-art stance and absurdist philosophy, resonated with Loy's own artistic sensibilities. She participated in Dada events and contributed to publications associated with the movement.
Literary impact
Her involvement in Dada allowed Loy to further experiment with language and form, leading to the creation of some of her most radical works. The movement's emphasis on breaking conventions paralleled her own desire to challenge societal norms, particularly regarding gender and identity.
