PATINAPATINA Magazine is a print publication and cultural arts organization founded by Dan and Maham Momin in 2023. 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.

PATINAPATINA Magazine’s inaugural issue brings together a roster of 14 local creatives, whose work engages with elements of tradition from their respective cultural backgrounds. Ranging from sculpture to photography to architecture, film, and dance -- these artists look to preserve and recontextualize the methods, stories, and customs of their ancestors. In a celebration of the past, we question the present, and consider our roles in crafting the future.
Co-curated with Maham Momin, edited by Dan Cui, designed by Maham Momin.
