Pulse: MAP’s Youth Journal

Crafted as part of MAP’s youth engagement initiatives, Pulse serves as a platform for young voices; a collaborative and independent space run by young adults for young adults to share their creative work and practice.

We are excited to introduce MAP’s youth journal — Pulse. Each quarterly volume of the journal will centre on a specific theme and will encompass various forms of creative works. Submissions will be curated and edited by the journal’s Editorial Panel and MAP’s Public Programme Coordinators.

Pulse Vol. I Work-in-Progress

This explored the experiences of growing up and navigating the changes that come with early adulthood. The volume looked about the amalgamation of feelings, visions and influences we have, as well as about our missteps and our progress.

Pulse Vol. II Families: Found and Otherwise 

The second volume was a special homage to family, friendship, and community. It looked at the family we grew up with, but also those special bonds we forge with the family we choose for ourselves. This volume was a letter to our loved ones – whether they raised us, lived with us or joined us somewhere along the way!

Pulse Vol. III: In Transit

MAP is thrilled to announce the launch of the third volume of Pulse, our journal made of, by and for young people. We are now officially open for submissions from you for the upcoming journal. Additionally, we are also putting out an open call for anyone between the ages of 18 and 25 to be part of the Editorial Panel for the upcoming volume. If you’re an individual passionate about art, illustrating, photography or literature, this is the place for you!
