Amidst a crisis in publishing where many youth and urban culture magazines are closing down, Fortis Marketing Ltd and URBEATZ have started a new publication that is aimed at that very market and fills the huge gap left by said publications. On June 23rd MESH Culture Magazine was released, introducing a new strand of youth culture.

MESH Culture is a youth cultural shift, whereby we are shedding these given labels and boundaries. Instead we are picking and choosing what we like, what we want and whom we are; meshing these choices and influences together and discarding the parts and labels that we refuse to carry anymore!

MESH Culture is where Urban Culture, Innovation and Liberation meet. Yaw Owusu, who coined the term MESH explains further. “This is not some abstract culture, it is something that is happening organically all around us and the great thing about MESH is it is more inclusive than any culture that has come before; it is not based on race or region, wealth or social standing, it is based on energy, enthusiasm, innovation and openness".

MESH Culture Magazine is all about shining light on the people, products and projects that are leading MESH Culture or are a very clear representative of what MESH is all about. Editor, Yaw Owusu, explains: “The magazine is all about the people, products and projects that are pushing boundaries and bringing people and cultures through; people who are liberating minds and souls and who are innovating old and redundant systems, all within the field of Urban Culture”. `MESH` Culture Magazine will be published in print every 6 months and will cover music, sport and entertainment, culture and arts, style and social and community. The MESH Culture blog is updated daily and features the top happenings in MESH Culture. Check it out at www.meshculture.com/blog
