MUSA Magazine
While we’ve made huge strides in the last few generations, the statistics are still staggering: in 2018 only 11% of creative directors are women. Musa Magazine is based on providing a platform dedicated to female creatives across Scotland.
Although it is similar across all industries the creative sector is more male-dominated than the UK workforce overall. The title ‘Musa’ is a latin translation of the word muse. Throughout history the artist's muse has traditionally been the preserve of men, whilst female artists struggled for any recognition. Apart from the unjust treatment of women artists in the past, the old school patriarchy that remains in power today also has committed another transgression to women - the sexual objectification. The use of the title ‘Musa’ is a reclamation of the word and our bodies.
