Floating between the arbitrarily defined “West” and “East”, we are interested in tracing artistic and cultural practices, mapping different local identities, and searching for common experiences – in the past and future. BLOK aims to be a resource for a regional and international audience and presents art writing, exhibitions, and projects from historically underrepresented communities and peoples

. In recognition of the patriarchal and colonialist history that shapes our use of the English language, BLOK also employs a policy of minimal intervention when editing our published texts. We do this to honor the diverse language experiences of our contributing writers, and to support the flexibility that exists within the English language. We welcome submissions from cultural workers in both conventional and non-traditional fields who are dealing with contemporary, critical culture.

Dear BLOK magazine community,

After several years of dedicated work and profound care for BLOK magazine, we, the editor-in-chief team, have resigned from our post
to establish a new platform, MOST magazine ().

We have spent our time since 2021 shaping BLOK in a way that reflects our values and interests, working closely and tirelessly with writers, artists, and cultural workers around the world. The decision to leave has been a very painful one to make, but necessary to ensure that we can continue publishing critical journalism at the intersection of art, culture, and politics in a way that is healthier and more supportive for us, our writers, and the artists we feature.

We are currently pouring our energies into the development of MOST and will welcome you very soon to read the texts and access the exhibitions you have come to know and trust through our work at BLOK.

MOST aims to be a critical cultural resource that is sustainable for its editors and authors in terms of both professional and affective labor.

We are grateful for your readership, allyship, and friendship, and hope you will continue this journey with us through MOST.

Ewa Borysiewicz
Vera Zalutskaya
Katie Zazenski
the co-editor-in-chief team of MOST magazine

Caring About Each Other in Times of Unrest and Violence

Text by Teodora Talhoș

Carefully curated by Rita Dabi-Farkas and Viktoriá Popovics, the show referred to the act of caring as something common among all human beings, whether on an individual (self-care) or a collective (for example, caring for our elders) level. On a larger scale, care has relevant global dimensions, such as care migration, which often occurs in Eastern Europe and in other economically less developed countries. Handle with Care addressed the many faces of our increasingly unstable world, where the gaps between social and economic classes are becoming wider and wider, exposing the vulnerable to new challenges and adversities. At the same time, the exhibition aimed to describe and criticize the cracks in our social and economic systems in a poetic manner, something that was reflected in the chosen artworks so well that I often had to stop and weep for a few minutes before continuing my visit.
