CỌ́N-SCÌÒ, pronounced CON-SHE-O, is the magazine of collective knowledge.
Our name comes from ‘CON’ [a word-forming element meaning “together”] + ‘SCIO’ [a Latin word that means “to know”]. Thus, our purpose is to provide a home for original creative works — expressed in poetry, fiction and non-fiction prose, art & photography — that interrogate aspects of our shared society in order to improve our collective knowledge.

We have no stylistic or ideological allegiance besides creativity & originality.

IDENTITY features an insightful interview with Ukamaka Olisakwe, exploring themes in her novel Ogadinma. You will find amazing poems, essays, stories, photographs and art that bare, obscure, illuminate, conceal, appreciate and define the things that make us, or otherwise. We invite you to read, discuss, and share this gift. You may uncover layers of your identity that you never knew existed and, perhaps, become free: “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free” — Ralph Ellison.
