EXIT

EXIT is an experiment born in Berlin from an idea by Silvio Talamo.

A magazine of poetry and arts that speaks in Italian, yet moves through migrated streets and languages in transit.

It was created for poets, intellectual spirits, Italophone artists, readers, and the curious who live elsewhere — or those who, while remaining, feel the need to look at Italy from a living distance. EXIT is a laboratory: a place where those who write can encounter other linguistic bodies, other marginalities.

The PDF can be downloaded for free from anywhere in the world: a simple, almost minimal gesture that nevertheless opens a new gaze. A gaze that believes that Italian — observed from the margins and, let’s face it, from the outside — can reveal parts of itself that the center no longer sees.

The particle EX implies a moving from, a distancing, a displacement that can be permanent or momentary. EX, however, is also the first half of the English word EXIT: an exit, a search for an alternative through verse, art, and poetry, in a world that is increasingly difficult to decipher.

Exit as the search for a way out that is slow to arrive.

EXIT is born this way: like a small crack, an exit indeed. Not to escape, but to pass through. Because sometimes, it is only from the outside that a language shows its true breath.
