NOIA is a new independent magazine born from a creative reaction to lockdown and isolation. Rooted in the collaborations between artists, designers, photographers, writers and other creatives, seen as a powerful tool of discussion to counterbalance the dominant traditional narratives, NOIA uses a wide range of expressions and perspectives to create visual answers to contemporary critical problems. NOIA is an experimental laboratory where you can create dynamic expressive forms, presenting alternative solutions to challenge the current structures of thought. We believe that collaboration between creatives is a powerful tool to ignite discussion and to counterbalance traditional and dominant narratives.

ISSUE 1 - RADICAL ACTIONS

Climate change and all its effects - fires, pandemics, collapse of the supply chain, etc. - highlighted the vulnerabilities in our complex and globalized world. We need radical actions and creative solutions to stop and dismantle this process. The first issue of NOIA features inspiring interviews, works and insights with creatives and artists who explore new ways of working and challenge the status quo. The articles in this issue cover a spectrum of topics and disciplines, from taboo to banal: we (re) consider the Furry archetype as a means of reconnecting with nature, we examine alternative pedagogical structures to produce customizable learning models for hybrid specializations, we speculate on how digital architecture has been used as a means to imprison society through a barrage of individualized and hyper-curated content.
