• Tea. A performance. A discussion. Presented by artist Aaron Hughes. Tea is an ongoing dialogue that traverses a variety of landscapes. From the tea sipped on in this installation, to a quaint coffee shop in the Lower Eastside, to a cage in Guantanamo Bay, to a motor pool in Iraq; tea is not only a favored drink but a shared moment that transcends cultural divides and systems of oppression.
