unWritten Minds
unWritten Minds is a publication for provocative thought leadership, critical essays, and articles on culture, society, and the arts.
inQuotted Takes
The heart of the debate
We dissect the defining statements of artists, thinkers, and influencers of all kind – not just what was said, but the context, the subtext, and the consequences. This is for essays that challenge the popular narrative surrounding a famous quote, a viral soundbite, or a foundational ideology.
unClutterred Minds
Clarity from complexity
In an age of information overload, this section is dedicated to lucid, thoughtful essays that cut through the noise. We feature long-form critical analysis that untangles complex cultural phenomena, social trends, or philosophical concepts, presenting them with precision and a unique perspective.
The Blueprint
Deconstructing the architecture of culture
How do systems – social, artistic, political – actually work? This section breaks down the frameworks that shape our world. From the design of a city to the algorithm of a social platform, we publish essays that map the hidden blueprints and explore their impact on the human experience.
The Unvarnished
Raw reviews and honest appraisals
This is our space for uncompromising criticism of art, film, literature, and media. We avoid the hype cycle and offer deep-dive reviews that are intellectually honest, contextually rich, and fearless in their assessment. This is for critics who believe true respect for art lies in taking it seriously enough to scrutinise it.
Latent Images
Developing forgotten, overlooked, or emerging pictures
This section is dedicated to bringing undeveloped ideas into focus. We feature essays on obscure artists due for a revival, analysis of cultural moments that were ahead of their time, or deep dives into the nascent trends that are about to break.
The Echo Chamber
From discourse to repercussion
This section tracks the real-world impact of ideas. How does a theory manifest in policy? How does a film influence a social movement? We analyse the tangible consequences of cultural products, following the echo of discourse as it reverberates through society.
The Marginalia
The intellectual scaffolding behind our essays
This is our living archive of process and perspective. For every major essay we publish, The Marginalia provides a curated list of core sources, annotated with the writer’s critical commentary on what was illuminating, what was contentious, and what new ideas it sparked.
