Explicit Texts: A Dialogue on Censorship and Modern Expression

Cover designed by Outline Studio Milano

Testi Espliciti (Explicit Texts) is a magazine inspired by the Explicit Lyrics label (introduced in 1990, primarily affixed to rap records but not limited to them, to warn of their dangerous content). The magazine aims to explore, through interviews with many authoritative voices in their fields, a specific and contemporary theme analyzed from various perspectives.

The first volume is dedicated to censorship and its derivatives, such as propaganda, freedom of expression, truth and falsehood. Edited by Paola Zukar and Claudio Cabona, the magazine features interviews with artists like Marracash, Fabri Fibra, Gué, Madame, Massimo Pericolo, Baby Gang, and many others. Its goal is to shed light on the shadows and provoke reflection among readers of all ages, hoping to spark a debate that will always generate valuable insights.

OTLN was established in 2015 from a deep passion for typography, graffiti, and design. Over time, this blend of disciplines has evolved into a bold and distinctive style, drawing inspiration from diverse cultures and street styles.

Each piece they create embodies countless hours of exploration and creative risk-taking, resulting in truly unique and unforgettable artwork. Regardless of the requirements, they craft a vision that maximizes your potential, enhancing your brand's value and history with a sharp, modern perspective.
