States is the third installment of NOIA magazine
States are the conceptual and physical constructions of borders – however tenuous – to define ideas and purport control. They are artifices presented as logic, defended as truths, manipulated as oppressions. Fluid and influenceable, we can recreate and redefine the states of the world today. The borders we establish, whether they are physical borders between nations or intellectual borders defining ideas, these constructs of self, country, object, subject, concept can be challenged and pushed into states of flux..
In the realm of facts and truths, it is important to recognise that knowledge and understanding are not fixed entities. They evolve over time as new evidence emerges, perspectives shift, and societies progress. Therefore, it is crucial to continuously analyze, critique, and challenge the states of facts and truths that have been established.
By recognising the fluidity and manipulable nature of states, both literal and metaphorical, we can actively participate in shaping the world and its future trajectory. This can involve advocating for more inclusive and equitable systems, challenging oppressive structures, and embracing diversity and change. It is through continuous reevaluation and the pursuit of knowledge that we can strive for a more just and progressive world.

NOIA is an independent, design publication born in 2021, during lockdowns across the world. As a reaction to that moment in which we were all stuck, they use boredom as fuel for fostering collaborations to source a diverse range of expressions and perspectives to create visual responses toward contemporary critical issues.
They are a platform for experimentation and a laboratory to create dynamic forms of expression, presenting alternative solutions to challenge current establishments of thought. The collaboration between creatives is a powerful tool to ignite discussion and to counterbalance dominant, traditional narratives.
NOIA is the Italian word for “boredom”.
