It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our operations at the Calvert 22 Foundation. Since its founding over 10 years ago, the Calvert 22 Foundation has been committed to exploring and celebrating art and culture in post-Soviet and post-socialist Europe, bringing knowledge and insights about creative figures to an international audience. Although we began doing this through offline events and exhibitions, most recently our operations focused mainly on the publication of The Calvert Journal.

With many colleagues across the region, and with a recent slew of restrictive laws in Russia which target the media, we have ceased publication of The Calvert Journal to ensure our staff are protected. We hope to return once there’s greater clarity about the situation.

We oppose the war in Ukraine and will continue to act in a way that ensures our staff and partners in the region remain safe during these difficult times.

A sincere thank you to those of you who have supported us over the years.

With gratitude,

From the Calvert team
