Noia #04

Noia in Italian means boredom. 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. 

In this issue: Absurd Rituals

Rituals are deeply human constructs that emerge from belief and intention. Some are devised through necessity or deliberate thought as efforts to structure meaning, order, or identity; others persist beyond the relevancy of the original logic. In this way, rituals are both rationally composed and ritually re-enacted, performed less to fulfil a conscious aim than to preserve inherited forms of sense-making.
