Notice that we added a new category for submissions this year- film. Ever since staff dabbled in reel life this Summer, we would like to see more of what you creative contemporaries have to show the world.

On a related note: we here at {m} like to refrain from putting unintentional “limits” on what readers submit, so please do not feel as if you need to stick to Literary, Visual, Audio, or Film. Over the years, we’ve evolved from a simple literary arts magazine to a beautifully multi-faceted multimedia anthology, and we’re gonna stick with that. So give us journalistic articles. Give us comics, give us performances, give us that eco-dress you designed. We just want you to open up, secrete those creative juices, and show us whatever you got. Everyone has something to say, and different mediums through which they say it.

Comment and tell us what you think of the new theme.

Love it? Hate it?

Questions about how to submit that eco-dress?

DWINELLE HALL -

September 20th, 2007.

Many lovely people turned up for Maganda’s first event of the semester. The theme and Call for Submissions for m21 was revealed (more on that later). We raffled off some mags, good vibes bounced off the walls, and talented folks came out to show their stuff at the Open Mic.

Special thanks go out to our featured performers, who rocked the small-classroom energy and kept us pumped with their truth, their style, their beats- and free tickets to the London Underground (also known as BART):

Adriel Luis & Ruby V. of iLL-Literacy

Mesej 1 & Jason Bayani of Proletariet Bronze

Deep Foundation …all the way from Queens, N.Y.

We hope y’all come again next time.

Until then-

WE LOVE (our people)!

A big question you guys may be asking is…

“Uh…where is magandamagazine.org?”

Well. Since our official website is going to be down indefinitely, we will now be posting news and updates on our events from this lovely wordpress site (along with our myspace, of course).

So yes, we are alive.

Friend us. Read us.

This year’s maganda staff is significantly larger than in past years’, and we are more ambitious than ever with our 21st time publishing. The theme of our next issue will be unveiled shortly, as will our official Call for Submissions, so please stay tuned. Or better yet, come to our theme unveiling. It will take place right here on the Berkeley campus, this week, on September 20th @ 6pm in 246 Dwinelle.
