LOST ART used to be called LONDNR.
Founded by Nina-Sophia Miralles in 2015, LOST ART is a print and digital magazine that hopes to be a pitcher of cold water on our tepid little world – a bracing tonic that will rouse you from the spell cast by colourless content.
We publish trustworthy stories written by clever humans and we host parties and profound cultural talks (see events for more info).
Our independence is important to us; we don’t kow-tow to anyone’s agenda. Instead of joining various media feeding frenzies, we are concerned with disappearing traditions, articles of common sense, joyous indulgence, and other tangible and intangible lost arts.
