GAMUT is an indie magazine developed during a five days workshop at Politecnico di Milano, held by Jeremy Francis Leslie, founder of magCulture.
The magazine explores the dynamics of relation, from the intimate micro scale of skin-to-skin contact to the macro scale of collective bodies and social systems. At the center lies a simple but radical question: how does touch—or its absence—shape the way we connect?
In its first issue, GAMUT explores how the rituals that surround the exchange of greetings take shape across different cultures, contexts, and subcultures—and how they can express distance or closeness, both physically and emotionally. A greeting represents an intermingling, where feelings and people are mixed up together, a point of contact between strangers and friends alike, unveiling the scope of our connections.
