Tea Project is an ongoing dialogue that traverses a variety of landscapes from the tea served in the Iraqi countryside, to a cage in Guantanamo Bay, to a family gathering. Tea is both a favored drink and a shared moment that transcends cultural divides. Aaron Hughes and Amber Ginsburg collaborate with community groups to curate a series of events that use tea as a launching point to engage with issues of war, detention, and torture. Setting the stage for these events will be 779 cast porcelain styrofoam teacups inspired by a curious story of a Guantanamo Bay guard who fell in love with drawings carved on Styrofoam cups by detainees.
