POTENTIA: a magazine that offers knowledge without pretense, to show what we find meaningful through art, activism, academics, and any other form of action.
Are you a scholar, artist or do you simply have an opinion about something? If you have the guts and potential to speak up about this, we want to hear from you. POTENTIA brings practice and theory together, plays with art and crashes head first into materialism, sexuality and power relations.
You have an opinion: now demonstrate in POTENTIA what you find meaningful and what connects you to the potential of life, theory and expression.
