Exploring the Surrealists and their Revolutionary Ideals

The chapter delves into the surrealists as both an art movement and a revolutionary organization aiming to overthrow the world order.

The chapter also highlights the story of Claude Ka'ah and Marcel Moore, a lesbian and non-binary surrealist couple who faced persecution during the Nazi occupation.
