The Missing Slate is an arts and literary journal that aims to uphold free speech, irrespective of geography and political or religious affiliations. Our goal is simple: honor talent and incorporate as many styles, opinions and cultures as possible. The magazine is “borderless” with a culturally and intellectually diverse team that believes if art can’t be quantified, it can’t be mapped either.
