RADIO TALK Rebecca Wilcox takes to the air with Glasgow’s Radiophrenia mapmagazine.co.uk/radio-talk

This is another significant loss for Scottish arts culture. On a personal level I will really miss MAP. A small(ish) anecdote fwiw, while studying my BA in Cov I visited Glasgow in 2010 and picked up a copy of issue #22 in Glasgow while visiting Glasgow Print Studio. I took it

A vital platform for Scotland but lots of writers from England also came up writing for MAP Mag, including me. I hope Arts Council England can see the value funding projects beyond their remit

i try not to be negative On Here but with this today and short circuit closing yday....imagine if our society prioritised creativity and abundance for all instead of gradually chipping away opportunity, support and money for the benefit of the worst, least creative cunts on earth

MAP's totally unique publishing platform will be much missed. I've always been grateful to Alice and Laura for giving me and Suzanne the opportunity of a lifetime as guest editors back in 2016. The archive remains a sparkler✨

Sad to hear about the end of MAP, for whom I've written a few times about Alchemy Film & Arts - including one of my favourite ever pieces. Thanks for all the fantastic reading.
