Untangle is a literary and arts magazine that explores the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) student experience. Written and designed by teams of students at Boston University in Massachusetts, each issue presents essays, photo illustrations, creative writing, poetry and more that reflect on intersecting identities and experiences. The goal of the publication is to break down stereotypical depictions of Asian and Asian American experience, revealing complexities and diversity. 

"POP!" (Issue 3) is a bubbly and saturated dive into the editorial and production team's identities as Asian students. Contents explore how participants "pop" out of restrictive norms and stereotypes and create their own narratives—ones that feel true and rich. Contributors color outside the lines and break through glass ceilings, find community and celebrate their unique journeys. From "Childhood" to "Adulting," this issue covers a range of life experiences.

Contributors include Rachel Kim, Stanley Joe, Will Winarno, Kelly Guo, Myat Myat Khine, Rachel Nozaki, Camille Bugayong, Claire Zhang, Kae Chi, Nikki Capinpin, Sabrina Chen, Zoe Xue, Caden Honda, Hannah Yu, and Rachel Lin
