A Nice Cup of Tea?

How does our daily cup of tea connect us to the untold stories and hidden narratives of empire, trade and transatlantic slavery?

The fashion for drinking sweetened tea from China inspired the luxury tea sets on display in the Ashmolean European Ceramics Gallery, but behind this wealth was the brutal exploitation of enslaved people producing sugar in the West Indies.

Crafted over cups of tea, our 'A Nice Cup of Tea?' contemporary art installation amplifies the stories, lives and resilience of Oxford’s communities, particularly those of Oxford’s Windrush generation and African Caribbean community, many of whom have family links to the transatlantic slave trade.

See it until 22 Mar 2020 in Gallery 40.
