As a Journal №7 – Escape

The Lithuanian Culture Institute has published the new issue of the cultural journal * as a Journal – Escape As a Journal. The eighth issue of the bi-annual journal is inspired by Mikolojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis.
The guest editor of this issue is Edvardas Šumila, a philosopher, writer and curator of the Contemporary Art Centre, who is currently studying for his PhD at The New School for Social Research in New York. The magazine was designed by Vytautas Volbekas.
According to Kotryna Lingienė, the magazine’s permanent editor, Escape As A Journal is the first issue in the magazine’s history to be inspired by one person. “This underlines not only the concept of the magazine, but also the universality of this personality. At the same time, it is logical that having started with research and reflections on the forest and the cosmos, wandering through the soundscapes of Lithuania and the world, feeling the flesh, memory and the Other, and bowing to poetry, we have arrived at Čiurlionis, in whose worlds all of these themes symbolically fit together,” said K. Lingienė.
