ABOUT

HELEN IFEAGWU
Editor-in-chief
As we enter a new decade, life as we know it is shifting. Technological and social innovation are dismantling previous norms, paving the way for a new digital world. At the intersection between present and future sits Avenir magazine. We look at the world and ask ourselves: what’s next?
From queer art and social boundaries, to interactive retail destinations and digital circus experiences, Avenir explores how the exploding, global power of digital innovation is shifting tides across industries. It’s a hot ticket to the future. It’s a quest to make sense of the new decade — low-ABV cocktail in hand. For the forward-looking and curious amongst us, Avenir challenges old systems of living and working.
Instead, we propose new and unconventional ideas to usher in a new age of thinking.

Always sleeping and functioning on pizza. Love a good horror movie but will faint if you show me gore, so don’t. My life motto? If something goes wrong, take a long nap. Or two.

I like romantic dinners, long walks on the beach… Wait, this isn’t a Tinder bio? Oops… Always wanted to be in EastEnders. Catch me listening to It’s Not Right But It’s Okay by Whitney Houston on the regular. Swipe right!

Movie nerd on a diet of low-calorie energy drinks. Queer and loving it! Pretends to know what they’re talking about for a living… and a dying. An oldie but a baddie! My pronouns are Who?/Whom?
