Anna Sulan Masing
Co-founder of Sourced Journeys, a public research project investigating how ingredients are sourced to create change.
Dr. Anna Sulan Masing is a Malaysian-New Zealander based in London with a background in academia, theatre, journalism and restaurants. Her PhD looked at how identity changes when space and location changes, focusing on the indigenous Iban people of Sarawak, a community she is part of. The research sat in postcolonial feminst theory and performance practices, anchored in storytelling. One of the key throughlines was food, and the thesis structure looked at the cycle of farming. The work interrogated ideas around appropriation, authenticity and how race, gender and migration intersect with identity. In the last few years she has focused a lot of her writing on farmers and mapping the journey of ingredients having interviewed farmers from England, Sarawak, Texas, Los Angeles and at NASA. This has inspired her to investigate how ingredients travel and how the identities and meaning changes through the supply chain.
