About Us
A digital magazine. A creative movement. A space for young voices.
In a world where 81% of young people aged 15–24 across Asia-Pacific are already online, we have more access to information, ideas and content than ever before. Yet, somewhere between endless scrolling and constant consumption, creating with our imagination has become secondary.
The Magazine of Asia was created to change that.
Stop consuming.Start creating.
Magazine of Asia is a youth-led digital magazine and creative platform bringing together ideas, perspectives and creative expression from young people across Asia. We believe that creativity shouldn't remain hidden in a notebook, a camera roll or an unfinished draft. Your work deserves a space to be seen, shared and remembered.
Why Asia?
More than a collection of countries. A collection of cultures, stories and perspectives.
Magazine of Asia isn't limited to one nation. Young creators from across the continent are part of the platform, and your work can reach an audience across borders — giving young creators international exposure and recognition.

In Their Words
“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”
“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper. The smartphone is the death to creativity. People are constantly being pulled out of the deep water by a buzz or a notification.”
“The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense… Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
“Creativity is just connecting things… A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions. We are here to put a vignette in the universe, otherwise why else even be here?”
“It is okay to own a technology, what is not okay is to be owned by technology.”
“The challenge for a human now is to be more interesting to another than his or her smartphone.”
