FAQ
What is EastEast?
EastEast is an online and print publication on culture, art, philosophy, and everyday life. It is produced in collaboration with authors and artists from West Asia, North Africa, Eastern Europe, the North and South Caucasus, Central Asia, and beyond. We use texts, photographs, audio, and video to tap into the unique and sometimes unnoticed sides of countries situated on the East-East axis.
How does (EE) release its content?
Every three months we present a new theme. First, it unfolds online. After two months, we present a print issue in a newspaper format with unique visuals and special projects inside. We also have static categories where we publish content unrelated to the issue theme.
Where does (EE) get its funding from?
(EE) is supported by Caravane Earth, a foundation that promotes social, cultural, and ecological transformation. Its past and current projects include The Majlis at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021, the Atlas Weavers initiative in Morocco, the Heenat Salma farm in Qatar, and the upcoming International Convention on Traditional Architecture and Urbanism.
What languages does (EE) use and why?
Our content is published in English and Russian, ensuring accessibility to readers in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Moreover, we are happy to announce that an Arabic version of our platform is set to launch in the upcoming spring of 2024. We are considering launching a Mandarin Chinese version in the years to come.
