UntoldMag.org is a platform that challenges the established and amplifies the untold, bridging the gaps between rigorous analysis and accessible discourse and reimagining knowledge as a shared, dynamic, decentralized, and deeply situated experience.
Rather than framing online harm as a failure of moderation, this article conceptualises technoviolence as a structural condition: violence embedded in profiling, classification, visibility, and enforcement - long before it appears as spectacle.

For decades, Western mainstream media coverage of Palestine has relied on decontextualised language that strips violence of responsibility. Palestinians appear as numbers, while occupation, apartheid, and the Nakba remain largely absent.

Street art is “a game,” as graffiti writers describe it, what is written, pasted, or stencilled on a wall is always temporary, exposed to removal, alteration, or replacement.

In their visual essay for UntoldMag, Stellar Meris begins with a moment of police violence in Berlin: an arrest at an anti-colonial protest for carrying the Palestinian flag. Officers claimed “Palestine has nothing to do with colonialism” and likened the flag to the Swastika.

AI is transforming borders faster than laws can regulate. Marketed as “innovation,” these systems now decide who can move, who is detained, and who is turned away, often reproducing racial hierarchies.
