Manar Alhinai is an award-winning writer and storyteller whose work spans writing, art, and curation. Her creative world circles the same questions: culture, identity, home, and the ways we make sense of modern life.

Her writing has appeared in Vogue, CNN, BBC, and National Geographic. She writes about life, culture, and the forces that shape who we are becoming. In her fiction, written in both Arabic and English, themes of home, belonging, and identity are threads she returns to again and again.

As an artist, she creates conceptual pieces that explore these ideas visually. Her curatorial practice brings together voices and spaces to spark connection and conversation. She is also the co-founder of Sekka and the Khaleeji Art Museum, platforms dedicated to amplifying Gulf voices through literature, art, and expression.

Storytelling sits at the centre of everything she does. Organisations, brands, and creative projects seek her perspective when they want to narrate their story authentically, clearly, and creatively.

Whether on the page, in an art space, or through narrative guidance, her work is always rooted in the same pursuit: stories that stay with us.
