PATINAPATINA Magazine is a print publication and cultural arts organization launched in 2024. Curious about the confusion of mixed cultural identities, the magazine works with diasporic artists whose work reinterprets tradition through contemporary lenses/contexts.
Dan's work has been recognized by organizations such as USM Modular Furniture, DesignMiami, and the Royal Ontario Museum. He is a graduate of OCAD University’s Industrial program [2023]. PATINAPATINA Issue 01 can be found in shops around the world.

Curation, exhibition design, and installation for PATINAPATINA Mag’s Issue 01 launch exhibit. For a week-long exhibit, we took over Cafeteria at 1650 Dupont, a site with a history tied to some of the city’s oldest cultural enclaves. Welcoming into the space a collection of works from artists of Toronto’s various diaspora, this exhibit brings together past and present in one place, for one moment.
Co-curated with Maham Momin, with support from the PATINAPATINA team (Ishmam Sarker + Asma Ansari).
