The Mantle provides a forum for the next generation of critics and leaders to be heard—a space for opinions that are different from those found in traditional, established outlets.
With increasing interconnectedness brought on by the forces of globalization, we believe it is imperative everyone be given a chance to shape social, economic, artistic, and political discourses.
The Mantle’s objectives are achieved through critiques, essays, and interviews (Features) on important issues and shorter missives posted on our Blog. We also hold the occasional live event, including art shows, panel discussions, salons, and social gatherings.
Some issues require more space to fully flesh out. Hence, the virtual Roundtable, The Mantle’s flagship element wherein emerging thinkers from a variety of backgrounds debate and discuss the merits of a given question. These roundtables provide a space for young intellectuals to explore a topic and to deepen the general discourse on a given subject.
