About

KALEIDOSCOPED is a new literary magazine formed by MFA students at UC San Diego. We are especially interested in publishing literary and visual art that makes use of cross-genre, hybrid, experimental, unusual, or fragmented forms, and in turn allows us to imagine the world from its creator’s unique position within it: to re-imagine what the world is, and what it might be. We hope to carve out space for works that don’t easily fit within academic and commercial publishing, including works by those who have never published before, those who don’t have a degree in the arts, or whose work shatters traditional notions of genre, time, and story. We welcome works which contend with historical and ongoing racial and colonial violence in any of its forms.
