Anna Sulan Masing

The Essentials "My work consistently looks at identity, race and gender and looks to decolonise the cultural spaces we live in." That frame places food and drink inside systems rather than outside them. Through SOURCED, Anna Sulan Masing treats them as working archives: sites where memory, power, and taste are held together, and where questions of who gets to speak are never separate from what is being served. The range of her practice matters here, but the through-line is sharper still — research used as a tool for reading the present through the residue of the past.

Signature

The titles themselves point to what the work is doing: refusing to flatten place, tracing how identity sits inside naming, and letting flavour carry more than flavour. In that sense, signature is not a fixed style but a repeated method — using food and drink to open questions of belonging, history, and memory without separating them from the table.

In Their Words “A taste of place, of time, of space, of memory. How do we find a place to belong, a way to look to the past and to build a future.” “My name is Dr. Anna Sulan Masing, and I hope to answer those questions as we explore taste and memory throughout this series.”
