About the Host
Anna Sulan Masing
Anna Sulan Masing’s work consistently looks at identity, race and gender and looks to decolonise the cultural spaces we live in. In early 2014, she completed her doctorate, looking at how identity changes when space and location changes, using the lenses of dance, storytelling and food. Her career has spanned hospitality, the corporate world, media and the arts, but food has always been a huge part of her identity, and it continuously features in her writing, performance and research.
