About Us
A bi-annual literary journal founded in 2007, Mascara is particularly interested in the work of contemporary Asian, Australian
and Indigenous writers. The word ‘mascara’ entered the English language in 1890. It derives from Spanish, Arabic and French
origins, its meaning evolving from the word mask, masquerade, to darken, to blacken. The Arabic word ‘maskhara’ means buffoon.
