FITA Magazine Vol. IV / Time Travel

After Venice, Lisbon and London: we're delighted to share with you all the latest volume of FITA Magazine devoted to the city of Berlin and to the theme of Time Travel.

This is an invitation to embark on a journey through time, immersing yourself in the essence of revolution. As we navigate the pages of History, the relentless march of the clock unfolds beyond Herodotus and Clio's control, guided by extraordinary artworks that defy the tides and illuminate our path towards the future.

Berlin, a city that has welcomed winds of change, holds a special place in our hearts, particularly as the 1989 youth-led movement tore down the wall that separated them from tomorrow, inspiring us to reflect on other peaceful protests that have rejuvenated entire populations, from the Women's Suffrage Movement of 1897 to the Quit India Movement in 1942, the Student Revolt in 1968, and the Carnation Revolution in 1974—each etching its mark in History.
