Greetings from the future!

 

With COVID-19 taking the world by storm and news channels everywhere hitting us with waves of negativity, we at The Missing Slate recognize the importance of creativity and the arts, especially their impact on mental health. As the world sits indoors and in some areas, cautiously starts to re-enter life, they do so knowing that things might never go completely back to “normal”. That “normal” is the watchword.

 

Over the coming weeks, long-time readers will notice things starting to change as the magazine pivots focus and direction. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. For now, we can say only that we’re coming back. That we’ve been hibernating for long enough and that the world needs some positivity and reasons to hope amidst all the doom and gloom.

 

Stay tuned!
