Faculty Focus - Hanan Hameen

Hanan Hameen is inspired to dance by her ancestors.

In a recent interview for the Arts Paper, Hanan, who is currently teaching remotely from Senegal, talked about learning about herself through her art and through the people who came before her: “Who is that person? Who are all of the ancestors, all of the cultures that make up that person?”

Hanan’s family’s relationship with NMS has also been passed down through the generations: her father, Jesse Hameen II, is a jazz drummer and member of the NMS faculty.

To learn more about Hanan and her work, please watch this short introductory video she filmed recently in Senegal.
