Framed Since 2020
Our Journey
Our first edition was a digital magazine, launched during the pandemic as a means to cultivate a digital creative community during a time of social isolation.
After the printed-publication of our second Framed Edition, Behind The Wall, we hosted our first digital launch party, uniting 30 youth creators to celebrate.
Since then, we have hosted our first in-person launch party in 2023, where we shared intimate reflections and celebrated over 20 youth contributors.
