The Rattlecap

The Rattlecap was created in 2018 by a group of University of Edinburgh students who wanted to create a space where activism and radical thought were central and accessible. Our monthly-ish editions, centered around a chosen theme, bring together creative writing, politics, history, education, art, and advocacy. We have collaborated with the likes of Extinction Rebellion, People & Planet, Living Rent, and Save Leith Walk. We value voices that are underrepresented in today’s narratives; perspectives that examine, challenge, and radically reimagine the society that we live in. We hope that The Rattlecap can become an intersectional forum for discussion and change; a thought-provoking, kind, and empowering space. Anyone can write, edit, and illustrate for us - just get in touch!
