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.

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.
