AFA—TAKEFESTIVAL FOR INDEPENDENT FASHION AND ARTS
First published in 1927 by André Breton, Exquisite Cadaver blends collective creativity and surrealist thought. The term reflects societal collapse and redefinition, exploring the tension between reality, fiction, and subconsciousness. Once limiting women to passive roles, it now redefines beauty and femininity, embracing complexity and reshaping desire. Through surrealistic praxis, Cadavre Exquis aims to transcend constructed relations and reconnect with nature—relation in nature.
