Noén Volume II
INTIMACY THROUGH FOOD
Volume II of Noén explores the pervasiveness of intimacy in everyday — in the ways we touch, speak, eat, dress, rest, and connect. This volume focuses on the intimacy of food: preparing a meal with your hands, sharing a bite, a gaze, a story, a touch. We ask, what does it mean to feed each other, and ourselves? This independent art magazine blends creativity, ritual, and connection with print-only traditions of bringing readers closer to sensation.
Curated by Anne Verhallen, we explore the erotic, the sacred, and the everyday rituals of nourishment across 130 pages with artists, chefs, photographers, and thinkers.
Noén’s independent publication is an annual, print-only work to bring us closer to sensation.
Featuring artists Fawn Rogers, Larry Madrigal, Marilyn Minter, Natalia González Martín, Omer Gilony, Suzanne Saroff and more.

Volume II is an independent art and culture magazine exploring intimacy through food, ritual, and creative expression while highlighting diverse artistic voices.
Yes, Volume II is a part of an annual, print-only exploration of intimacy through culture, building on the foundation set by Volume I.
Volume II emphasizes the intimacy of food and shared experiences, whereas Volume I focused on intimacy more broadly.
In this issue, we explore how meals bring people together, how flavor
evokes the past, and how culinary traditions define communities. At
Noén, we shed light on the pleasure of everyday. Through compelling
interviews, rich visual narratives, and deeply personal essays, we uncover
the intersection of food, identity, and intimacy.
