CỌ́N-SCÌÒ MAGAZINE ignites the spirit of ‘Parrhesia‘ for Issue 4, Volume 1! This ancient concept celebrates our right to unleash our creative voices, to express ourselves freely and authentically.

The issue is slated for publication in June 2024. Only twenty (20) entries will be accepted.
Parrhesia: A Celebration of Unfettered Expression

We welcome submissions that explore the multifaceted nature of creative expression. Whether it’s the raw power of poetry, the evocative beauty of visual art, or the captivating narrative of prose, we want to see your unique take on the world.
