Crafted as part of the Museum of Art & Photography, Bengaluru’s youth engagement initiatives, Pulse serves as a platform for young voices; a collaborative and independent space run by young adults for young adults to share their creative work and practice.
Each quarterly volume of Pulse explores a unique theme, offering insights into the rich perspectives of our generation. From thought-provoking and personal written work to captivating illustrations, Pulse celebrates the dynamic spirit of our community.
After a long break, we are excited to announce that Pulse is returning for its third volume!
The upcoming volume revolves around the idea of being in transit. Whether it’s moving to a new city or staying in the same one, we are all subjects in transit to a destination unknown. In this volume, we delve into the precariousness of newfound experiences and the fragile nature of stability in life. Submissions for the upcoming volume and the Editorial Pannel are now open for anyone between the ages of 18 and 25 keen to showcase their interpretation of the theme and be part of the community!
Applications for the third volume of pulse are now closed.

Meet the Pulse Coordinators:
Manogna KishoreHello! I'm Manogna, a Public Programmes Coordinator at MAP. I have a keen interest in pondering about the nature of our being and the sadness it brings with it, credits to my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. I fancy strong, black coffee, cats and collecting trinkets.
Breanne CoelhoHello :) I'm Breanne, a Public Programmes Coordinator here at MAP. As a Museum Studies master's student, I'm excited to explore the potential of museums to build meaningful community spaces. I love spending Bangalore's rainy days curled up with a good book and a hot drink !
For the second volume of Pulse, we paid a very warm and special homage to family, friendship, and community. We looked at all the different kinds of emotions “family” brings within us. We looked at the family we were born into, the ones we found and also the ones we lost. Titled “Family: Found & Otherwise” this volume is a letter to our loved ones – whether they raised us, lived with us or joined us somewhere along the way!
This first volume, we explored the nuanced, multifaceted and often bittersweet experiences of growing up and navigating the changes that come with early adulthood. Titled "Work in Progress," this volume explores all the different emotions and experiences that shape our journey into adulthood. Because early adulthood is a constant work-in-progress!
Through a captivating blend of art and storytelling, Pulse Vol. I offers insights into the joys, challenges, uncertainties and adventures of youth. Dive into the heartfelt reflections of our talented contributors as they share their unique perspectives on growing up and self-growth.
Pulse Vol. I was made possible by the generous support of the British Council's Our Shared Cultural Heritage grant.
