Global Art • 1918 • I
Allied with the radical socialism of the November Revolution and its ideals, artists and architects form the Novembergruppe (November Group) and the Arbeitsrat für Kunts (Workers' Council for Art) in Berlin. Their programmes for state support of art and other projects pre-empt the agenda of the Bauhaus, formed the following year.

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.
