It's time for new media



perediza is a humanities/philosophy-based agency and magazine divided into 4 pillars: climate change, art, style, and life. Everything we produce has the common thread of questioning and philosophising.


We aim to make people question their surroundings and the world they experience today by tackling topics such as the cultural industry, mental health, climate change, media & culture, the future of art and fashion, and more.


We prioritize accessibility in our magazine by employing intellectually engaging and inclusive language to diverse audiences. 


We signify role models that are not restricted to celebrities or influencers but rather creative and brilliant minds that inspire audiences in the right direction.


It's time to reshape media into an interdisciplinary form to transcend information in intellectual and cultural ways that are translatable to the masses.

our logo


our logo is a reinterpretation of the sibyl ‘persicha’ from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling painting. The Persian sibyl was the first of all sibyls and is depicted by her wise features and secretive posture. Michelangelo masterfully depicts an aura of mystery around her and a delicate portrayal of her immense focus on her oracles.

Using her as the symbol of perediza and the cover was to portray how we are fluid in time. It speaks of the future yet recalls the past.

Unlike traditional or other modern/indie magazines, perediza does not use models, celebrities, or editorial work for its cover. Instead, we have an expansion of our logo. The faceless wisdom is exactly what leads one to open the pages of perediza in the first place. A desire for more knowledge. The mystery can only be revealed by opening the book itself.
