There is beauty in an ending, the serene light at dusk. This issue is the last of our editorship, the last print edition of Contexts, and in that sense, a crescendo of conversations spanning 25 years.

As we turn the page from print to digital, our editorial team dedicates this issue to every contributor who trusted us with your words. To every reader who found something here that moved you. And most of all, to the indefatigable belief that ideas about and for the public matter.

Endings are never just endings; they are an invitation for what comes next. We are not closing a door so much as walking through it into the light of a new day.
