Margins Magazine - Volume 3 Issue 1
2020 has been a year of immense change and upheaval thus far, with our idea around what is normal challenged in the midst of a pandemic. In this midst of these volatile times, our team at Margins Magazine has come together to create Volume 3 Issue 1 of our publication, revolving around the theme of CHANGE. In this issue, our writers have worked hard to bring you pieces that critically discuss the realities of the current moment from advocacy effort across different fields to issues such as domestic violence and colourist. At #UTSC, we connect with Radio FWD and UTERN at UTSC to learn how campus groups are affected during the pandemic and how they are evolving their programming while staying connected with students. We’ve received amazing creative submissions from members of our local community and around the world that have allowed us to curate this issue with stories that truly represent the heart, soul, and pulse of the current times. Bringing together all these voices in Margins has been a true labour of love. We truly hope that the stories, words, and art within Margins resonate with you.

“rising from the dust”<br />
This painting of mine is infused with motivation and courage. We all have had our<br />
shares of descends, and now we rise. Every single step of yours is a journey of a<br />
thousand miles. My artwork portrays the same. I personify the plants, delivering the<br />
message of a life risen up from mud (dust), and the butterflies are the metaphors, that<br />
symbolizes the beautification of those lives. Take the step, it's worth taking it. You<br />
deserve IT.<br />
“freedom”<br />
Ever wondered how it would be, if you could flutter the wings of your imagination in<br />
the sky of opportunity? In our busy lives, we have forgotten to unfurl the child within<br />
us, the freedom within us, the freedom to think, to act, to create, to innovate, to be the<br />
true us, The Freedom to Live.<br />
This artwork of mine portrays the same “FREEDOM”. The flying birds are the metaphor<br />
depicting the Freedom of your thoughts and emotions.<br />
The message that I want to depict through my artwork is, "Never be afraid to do the<br />
things that make you feel free and don’t refrain to give yourself a chance to be better.<br />
Let that child in YOU crawl out again."<br />
