Haneen Mahmood Martin is a Kuala Lumpur -born, Malay-Saudi multi-arts programmer, producer, writer, and artist based in Narrm/Melbourne. She creates and seeks art that highlights the everyday rituals that make life meaningful, the precarity of memory as a means of holding knowledge, and the connection and understanding that sharing food can bring – creating a space for our ordinary stories in the archives. In her own time, Haneen manages a directory for Malay and Malaysian creatives in Australia and hosts her Sayang-Sayang Supper Club – an opportunity to test recipes and her notions of hospitality right from her home.
