The Dada Manifestos are concise declarations concerning the principles and ideals underlying the Dadaist movement. Several artists associated with the Dada school of thought have written manifestos. Two of the most notable manifestos were written by Hugo Ball and Tristan Tzara, both of whom played pivotal roles in the founding of the Dada movement criticizing was, art of the Bourgeois, and traditional values of the time.

Hugo Ball's Dada Manifesto
Hugo Ball delivered the first Dada Manifesto on July 14, 1916, during the first public Dada gatherin at the Waag Hall in Zurich, Switzerland. The choice of this date, Bastille Day, carried symbolic significance as a protest to World War 1. In his manifesto, Ball begins by giving diverse definitions of the word "Dada" in multiple languages, next he introduces the movement's own definition of "Dada" supported by a numerous absurd examples. He boldly asserts, "Dada is the heart of words," concluding his manifesto with a linguistic explosion that alternate between coherence and absurdity.

Tristan Tzara's Dada Manifesto
Tristan Tzara premiered his Dada Manifesto on January 23, 1918 at Meise Hall in Zurich. Tzara's manifesto was angrier and more nonsensical in tone. He begins his manifesto by dismissing all definitions of the word "Dada" and countering Hugo Ball's earlier statements by proclaiming, "definitions are of no importance". Tristan reiterated the anarchistic mission of the anti-bourgeois movement. Concluding his manifesto with an intertwining mix of absurd and coherent language to proclaim that Dadaism as a grotesque contradiction of life.

Notably, Tristan's manifesto, introduced the satirical Dadaist phrase that mocked the academic study of art: "Ideal, Ideal, Ideal, Knowledge, Knowledge, Knowledge, Boomboom, boomboom, boomboom" asserting that all intellectuals dance to the beat of their own "boomboom."
