Equator #01
Equator is an exciting new magazine of politics, culture and art, filled with original art, new essays, fiction and poetry. Equator seeks to restore dignity to the concept of truth, and create a public space where the values of justice, solidarity and compassion can flourish. The publication and platofrm is a collective response to crisis that is as much spiritual and intellectual as it is political and economics. For Equator, the widely proclaimed “end of the West” is not the end of the world; the epoch ahead is ripe with the promise of fresh illuminations, of new horizons of human action and imagination.
