Editing Surrealism (section)

===May 68===
Surrealists believe that non-Western cultures also provide a continued source of inspiration for Surrealist activity because some may induce a better balance between instrumental reason and imagination in flight than Western culture.<ref>Choucha, Nadia.

This was especially visible in the [[New Left]] of the 1960s and 1970s and the [[May 1968 in France|French revolt of May 1968]], whose slogan "All power to the imagination" quoted by [[The Situationists]] and [[Enragés#Other groups|Enragés]]<ref>Viénet, Rene.
