 The Maganda Magazine started in 1989, originally it was branched off from PAA because Pilipinoic students felt as though they didn't have a medium for creative arts or creative literature and thus came Maganda Magazine. And initially in 1989 it had two publications a year, so one each semester and then eventually after a couple years capacity-wise we just made it an annual anthology of themes. Maganda's mission really is to foster a critical dialogue and open communication between all communities of all cultures, backgrounds and to really start up those conversations and give people a voice who probably wouldn't have otherwise. Because in a lot of Phil Amp spaces there tends to be a dominant narrative where a lot of voices are misheard, like not a lot of people talk about like queerness and being Filipino or even just like creating art together, like you really got a search for those, it took me a while for me to find that. So the reason why I make an effort to come here is because I'm not finding it, there are many opportunities to find it but it's nice to be in Maganda where there's a history and where people can merge the critical thought and the creativity. So we see a lot of poetry, prose, visual art, but last year we actually had quite a few videos and so we actually like screenshot stills and then included it in the magazine. So photography is also one, anything literary typically is involved and I think this year we were also really trying to emphasize things that maybe cannot quite literally be put into the magazine, things like performances and spoken word and dance and song and all that so we've tried to make up for it by hosting events like open mics. Change issue captures really what the editors-in-chief and the rest of the staff feel as though it's extremely important.
