We are a group of teenagers who seek to showcase our own talent while creating space for other young people globally to do the same. Through our publication, we hope to create a gentle and inspiring conversation of artistic expression, celebrating diversity and uniqueness in all its forms.
We encourage young people ages 11-18 to use the creative arts to represent their communities, their outlooks and their values. Through this space, we want to empower our creatives to share their ideas and foster international and interpersonal connection. It feels to us that there is no better way to tackle the negativity we see in the media through the individual voices of young people, their hopes and their dreams.
Ultimately, Pandora’s Ink promotes the power of creativity to inspire, to challenge and to connect, because where ink spills, hope rises.
