Sebastian Pasinetti

Sebastian Pasinetti is a chef, writer and community builder working at the intersection of food, culture and care. A proud Queer man of Italian and West African heritage, shaped by a layered family migration story spanning post-war Italy, Ghana and Australia. His work is grounded in a deep attentiveness to people – how they live, work and connect. Through his writing, including contributions to Broadsheet and his Substack Without Permission, he explores labour, identity and hospitality with honesty and nuance. Sebastian is committed to building more inclusive creative industries that value lived experience and reflect the complexity of contemporary Australia.
