Tea drinking is not just an act of drinking a beverage. It is laden with history, culture, socio-economic conditions and personal memories. Every community has developed their own way of preparing and consuming this beautiful drink through generations.

When one moves to a new country whether by compulsion or by choice, they invariably leave so much of themselves behind. What they carry with them are these cultures and memories. These memories tell stories of relationships, of objects, of spaces, of tastes, experiences and so on.

We are currently working on this project and will keep sharing different snippets of stories as we go along on our Instagram. So follow us to follow along.

The project is currently ongoing.

This commission is made possible through a commission from Essex Cultural Diversity Project supported by Arts Council England, in partnership with Colchester and Ipswich Museums.
