NOIA – the Italian word for boredom – is an independent magazine born from a creative reaction to lockdown and isolation. Rooted in collaborations between artists, designers, photographers, writers, and other creatives, NOIA sources a diverse range of expressions and perspectives to create visual responses toward contemporary critical issues.
NOIA is a platform for experimentation and a laboratory to create dynamic forms of expression, presenting alternative solutions to challenge current establishments of thought. We believe that collaboration between creatives is a powerful tool to ignite discussion and to counterbalance dominant, traditional narratives.

Open call for visuals
IMPORTANT

Deadline 30/07/24
ABRURD RITUALS
Absurd Rituals are the mundane minutiae that construct, conduct, and confuse modern life.
Tools for sense-making, rituals evolve and degrade into complexity, becoming absurd realities that are foundations for society’s most basic functions.
In this issue, we ask you to bring to light all the absurd rituals, whether personal, communal, or societal, that are so engrained in our ethos and logos. We seek to prod and dissect these quotidian routines and customs that act as fundamental axiomatic scaffolding.
