Welcome to Palimpsest 

Palimpsest is an exhilarating journey of self-discovery and self-expression. We are the Annual Literary Magazine of the English Department of Kirori Mal College, a tradition we've lovingly nurtured and a legacy we hold dear.

​

Our name, "Palimpsest," in its literal sense, refers to "a manuscript on which two or more successive texts have been written, with each layer erased to make room for another text." It alludes to the bearing of the traces of consecutive writings, each layer whispering tales of the past.

​

At Palimpsest, we believe that every individual possesses a unique voice waiting to be heard. We provide a platform for aspiring artists to unleash their creative potential and showcase their diverse perspectives. We encourage experimentation, embracing the imperfections and idiosyncrasies that make art truly authentic.

Palimpsest fosters a vibrant community of young artists and writers, where diverse voices intertwine and inspire each other. We celebrate the eclectic mix of student outlooks, providing a nurturing environment for creative growth and collaboration.

​

Through its pages, Palimpsest encourages creativity and inclusivity in every sense of the word, fostering a community where different standpoints can coexist and thrive.

Whether you're an aspiring writer, a visual artist, or simply someone who loves to immerse themselves in thought-provoking content, Palimpsest invites you to join us in this expansive realm of creativity.

We hope you enjoy your journey through Palimpsest.
