Ipsis Litteris

Bys: Soriano, Adriana, Wilhelm, Eliza, Cospolite, Kingsley

Because it is a set of words that are not possible to be understood in their literal sense, it is often very difficult or even impossible to translate idiomatic expressions into other languages. But at the same time, they talk a lot about the peculiarity of a culture and its people. The idea of making drawings "literally" is a playful way of presenting these expressions and promoting reflection on different cultures.To create the magazine, I decided to invite other artists to write about it. I love working in collaboration and I am sure that the project has been enriched with the art of writers and poets, in addition to presenting nuances of intricate meanings and sensitive layers of interpretation.They were completely free to create and choose the expressions they wanted. Poems, short stories, simple definitions, diversity enchanted me, and I saw a fabric of multiple threads forming, of great sensitivity and delicacy.I hope that this project will unfold in numerous editions with more partnerships and exchanges and that it will bring joy to anyone who wants to know a little more about idioms.
