Erev Rav – new project and end of Maarav

Filed under: art, free speech — Ronen @ 11:12 pm

Yonathan Amir and I announced last week that we are leaving our positions as editors of Maarav. We are starting a new independent media project in the field of Art and culture.

Maarav was a great project that we created with love and devotion and we cherish the opportunity we had to be the editors for so long. However we feel that Maarav’s organizational and financial structure prevented us from creating and developing Maarav in the way that we believed.

The New Project: In still in very early stages, but what we can say that we are creating a platform that will integrate art, culture and politics and will continue to fill the role that we took upon ourselves when we made Maarav.  We will build an excellent of team in the field of writing, art and culture which will create a magazine that will provide great writing and art, lead and challenge the discourse, and maybe even be financial viable.

In February we will launch our new site called EREV RAV, and we are also planning in a later stage to come out with a monthly printed magazine. Further notices and the link to the new site will be posted here soon.  Ideas, suggestions and comments are welcome.
