We began in 2015 with one thing in mind: to exist. To exist for a generation that is held by a belief that we are what the Orwellian system deems us to be; instead of a system we are meant to defy and sequester ourselves from. Avenoir Magazine is a revolutionary platform for writers, artists, photographers, and all of whom contributed to our first ever print issue, to showcase their imminent passion like no other. With the support of well-rounded, inspiring individuals we challenge ideologies that constrict, demean, or perturb our sense of worth and beauty. Welcome, and hope one’s disposition leads to the enlightenment of the Self within this fata morgana. And I thank you all for believing in it. - Founding Chief Editor Zaerën Momand
