About Us

DASEIN Magazine is an independent, Armenia-based publication dedicated to showcasing the vibrant and diverse voices of emerging artists, creative personas, and cultural activists from Armenia and the global Armenian diaspora. Founded by three visionary women, DASEIN aims to represent and elevate our contemporary culture internationally, offering a unique platform for those whose stories often go unheard.

We aim to bridge the gap between local and global artistic communities, fostering creative exchanges that inspire and empower. We are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and versatility, focusing on highlighting the work of women, minority groups, and independent creatives.

Through our beautifully designed print issues, digital content, and collaborative projects, DASEIN provides a space for artists, designers, photographers, musicians, and more to express themselves freely and authentically. We believe in the power of storytelling and visual arts to drive social change, challenge norms, and inspire new ways of thinking.

As a non-profit organization, DASEIN operates with the support of grants and contributions from our founders, enabling us to maintain our independence and dedication to high-quality content. Our annual budget allows us to produce thought-provoking issues that are visually stunning and culturally significant.

Since our inception, we have completed over 100 collaborative projects, each contributing to a growing network of creatives passionate about making a difference. DASEIN is more than just a magazine; it is a movement that champions the voices of those who dare to dream and create.

Join us as we continue to explore and document the stories that define our time, both in Armenia and beyond.
