Ceasefire Magazine
About Ceasefire
Ceasefire is an independent political and cultural publication founded in 2002, concerned with producing high-quality journalism, reviews and analysis.
We cover a wide range of topics – from Arthouse to Žižek.
We aim to provide intelligent and thought-provoking discussion and analysis on politics, art and activism.
We are motivated by a belief in the free exchange of radical and ground-breaking ideas.
We are entirely reader-sustained and accept no advertising or corporate/government funding of any kind.
Help us keep Ceasefire independent. Please make a contribution today:
