Apofenie Magazine Fundraiser

**We are fundraising to do a special print edition of our Winter 2018 Issue. Every donation brings us one step closer to achieving that goal!**

Apofenie is a literary journal founded in 2017. Our mission is to promote underrepresented voices and share stories that provoke the reader to engage with both their interior lives and the material world.

Our literary journal's name comes from the Czech word for apophenia, that is, the tendency to search for hidden meanings in unrelated patterns. We explore both the triumphs and shortcomings of language, compelled by the need to define and attribute meaning to our lives. Not all of our contributors are writers in the ‘traditional’ sense. We firmly believe that everyone has the potential–the need, even–to create.

The Winter 2018 Issue will focus on contemporary Ukrainian literature and thought in translation. Since the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, many people around the world are curious to learn about the country, but they are limited by a language barrier and myopic Western media coverage. In the aftermath of the Revolution, a new generation of activists and artists have emerged. Ukraine is now undergoing a cultural renaissance--despite the war in Donbass (Eastern Ukraine) and other challenges, like corruption and political reforms. Apofenie's Winter 2018 Issue will celebrate the cultural achievements of Ukraine’s writers and artists, as they navigate their post-Soviet legacy and help define the country's future.
