Baader, Hausmann and Huelsenbeck mount a six-week Dada Tour throughout eastern Germany and Czechoslovakia. Their programme includes speeches and 'primitivist' verse accompanied with drumming by Huelsenbeck and the most popular Dada Trot (Sixty One Step) by Hausmann. The tour solicits nervous commentary from the press.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
