Purgatory Magazine is a Berlin-based writing and art collective. Purgatory Magazine is not about fulfilling expectations, no matter how reasonable those expectations might be. It is not a magazine by or for robots. Art is life and life is now! Thrust in thy sickle and reap… for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
We originally funded this magazine as a bilingual Swedish-English online magazine called Skärselden (Purgatory) in 2021. Over time, it has transformed into a print-only publication. In addition to putting out magazines a few times a year, we also organise parties, concerts, and do radio shows together.
