We are crowdfunding the next two issues of the Second Renaissance Magazine. This is more than a magazine, it's a cultural movement. Every issue gathers artists, writers, and performers who embody the Second Renaissance: art as oracle, art as ritual, art as a guide toward a new world. Every contribution matters, helping to support curation, editing, design, printing, and most importantly, to compensate the artists and contributors for their vision and efforts.


Please join us in midwifing this cultural shift — with your support, the Second Renaissance becomes not only visible, but sustainable.

Vision of the Second Renaissance

Art of the Second Renaissance is an art movement which aims to relate to and make art in a fundamentally different way and contribute through art to the emergence of a new paradigm - the paradigm of the Second Renaissance.

An audacious quest to redefine art-making practices and be a bridge between the dying past and the future unborn.
