Coffee Culture is a piece of work I created in September 2021 for the RCS’s Climate Portal for COP26. Coffee Culture has a very simple concept, I invite the participant in to my space and take a seat, I make us both a coffee that we drink together, and we sit and have a chat about coffee; where it comes from, how it’s processed, why we drink it, the culture around it, and really anything else that comes up! It works as a one-on-one experience or in pairs or small groups. I gently facilitate a conversation in which we both explore our own tastes and preferences in coffee and the historical contexts and ecological ramifications of the world's coffee trade. What’s important to me is that this work is conversational, I’m not positioning myself as an expert on coffee (although I do have a lot of passion and research behind me!) but is a low-stakes friendly way for us both to think and chat about sustainability and our personal relationship to this global product.
