Pushkin House is a registered charity and the oldest independent organisation (founded in 1954) in the UK and internationally that is dedicated to Russian and post-Soviet cultures and identities.
Today, we are a vibrant arts centre with a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events across arts, cinema, music, literature and current affairs, exploring issues relevant to contemporary Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
We are an inclusive space where people can meet and share ideas. Our events are open to everyone and we hope to attract diverse communities and interests.
The war in Ukraine and the limits of free expression in Russia have made our activities even more urgent. We are committed to continuity of dialogue and critical debate and we support independent thinkers and creatives who can contribute to our shared understanding of the world in which we find ourselves today.
More than ever, we need our Friends to help us keep our mission alive, safeguard our independence and sustain our programmes.
The power of art and culture lies in their ability to transcend time and space, offer new access to reality and provide a critical view of past, present and alternative visions for the future.
