About Utsanga:

Utsanga.it is an online magazine about liminal analysis. The term “utsanga” is a Sanskrit word that meaning “womb, embrace”. The magazine was founded by Francesco Aprile and Cristiano Caggiula in 2014 and can count on an international editorial team: Bartolomé Ferrando, Nico Vassilakis, Volodymyr Bilyk, Wellington Amancio Silva, Egidio Marullo.
Immediately, Aprile and Caggiula have configured Utsanga not only as magazine, but as research and production center and archive about experimental poetry: visual, sound and concrete poetry, asemic writing, glitch art, video, performance, mail art, code poetry, electronic literature and so on.
As archive, Utsanga has an important collection based on the visual and concrete poetry, and also on asemic writing and glitch art and writing. Some of the most important authors in visual poetry and asemic writing from Seventies to today are part of the archive. As production center, Utsanga proposed the first asemic writing exhibition in Italy and many more exhibitions and conferences.
