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.
