About us

Kao is a hill art journal (print/online) based in Kalimpong, India. The hill art journal seeks to publish poetry, fiction, non-fiction, visual art, criticism, interviews, sound art and hybridised texts, both from established and emerging artists. Kao stands by the potential for any original work from anywhere to inhabit and proliferate cohesively in a multilingual, imaginative and diverse space. The journal will also focus on translations of texts into English from the region of (and not specific to) Kalimpong, Darjeeling/Doars as well as the North-East of India. Kao is an inter-disciplinary showcase of a text in performance predominantly emerging from the region of Kalimpong/Doars/Darjeeling and Sikkim.
