Work and experience
Since 2002 he is the founder and editor-in-chief of Krytyka Polityczna (The Political Critique) magazine and the Publishing House of the Political Critique, head of The Brave New World – the largest Polish independent cultural centre and think tank in Warsaw – a place that serves as a forum for discussion, art presentations and social and political projects (situated in the centre of Warsaw at ulica Nowy Świat 63).
In 2005 he was named president of the Stanislaw Brzozowski Association, which runs 5 cultural centers (Warsaw, Gdańsk, Łódź and Cieszyn, Kiev) and 25 local centers in Poland, Ukraine and Russia. The Brzozowski Association also runs a publishing house, a magazine, and an internet newspaper
In October 2003 he wrote "The Open Letter to the European Public Opinion" which confronted the position of the Polish government in support of the Constitutional Treaty for the EU and the federalist model of European integration. Signed by 250 leading intellectuals, the letter was published in Le Monde, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita and other European newspapers. The Letter caused a large public debate which concluded in an official meeting between the Polish President, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of European Affairs and a representation of the signatories.
In January 2014 he wrote an article in the British newspaper The Guardian , "Welcome Ukraine into the EU and restore faith in the project", subtitled "granting Ukraine accession wouldn't just help Ukrainians, it could end pessimism in the union and build bridges to Russia".
Sierakowski's publications include more than 400 essays and op-eds mainly devoted to Polish and European politics and culture. Among them are opinion articles, interviews (with Jürgen Habermas, Michael Walzer, Charles Taylor, Ulrich Beck, Slavoj Žižek, Ernesto Laclau, Hayden White, Chantal Mouffe, Michel Houellebecq, Michel Faber, Amos Oz, Etgar Keret, David Grossman ), and book reviews.
