Kultura Liberalna (in English: Liberal Culture) is an intellectual milieu created around a non-profit, socio-political, weekly magazine established in 2009 by a group of young academics, artists, journalists, students and freelancers.
Devoted to modernising liberal thought according to the forthcoming theoretical and practical challenges, it also strives to apply liberal ideals to the specific, Central European historical experience.
It publishes interviews, opinion pieces, and analyses on current political, social, and economic issues and developments, human rights, the rule of law, climate change, geopolitics, film, theatre, books, and music reviews.
It publishes 52 online weekly magazines annually, released every Tuesday, organises public debates and seminars, and publishes books on contemporary politics and culture.
Kultura Liberalna aims to build a better Poland for future generations. Furthermore, it seeks to strengthen and modernise Polish liberal thought in line with the experiences of Central and Eastern Europe, and to participate in international debates on socio-political and cultural issues.
The team is independent of politicians and advertisers.
Kultura Liberalna emphasises the intellectual and linguistic quality of the published articles. Established as a leading liberal magazine in Poland, its contributors include many eminent scholars, artists, politicians, and journalists such as: Lech Walesa, Saskia Sassen, Timothy Garton-Ash, Michael Walzer, Paul Berman, Adam Michnik, Richard Wolin, Quentin Skinner, Zygmunt Bauman, Aleksander Smolar, Krzysztof Penderecki, and Agnieszka Holland.
