The M³ Festival launched the inaugural issue of M³ Magazine featuring writing from most of the artists who performed at the Festival. It also includes an interview with 2025 M³ Luminary Awardee Maia who has earned renown as a longtime active member of the AACM. The magazine springs from M³’s Anthologies of Writings which were formerly published in book format. “We wanted to create an archive of writings that takes control of the narrative with regards to underrepresented musicians. We envision it as a legacy for future generations,” say visionary M3 co-founders Sara Serpa and Jen Shyu.
