What is the Black Dada

Adam Pendleton’s What is the Black Dada (2020) is a signed limited edition artwork that extends his seminal Black Dada project, using language as a visual and political form. Produced with transferred pulp and stenciled text on handmade cotton paper, the composition merges avant-garde strategies with Black cultural history, foregrounding repetition, fragmentation, and graphic force. This limited edition print of 35 exemplifies Pendleton’s conceptual practice, positioning text-based abstraction as a critical tool for examining identity, power, and historical narrative in contemporary art.
