Deep Brew: HumaniTEA Conversations

T.E.A. The Evolution Archive brings together artists of all mediums across generations for discussion and an communal herbal tea experience

Deep Brew, Humanitea Conversations on Saturday, April 11, from 1–4 PM

This gathering brings together artists of all mediums across generations for a shared reflection on the question:

What do we carry forward, and what must we leave behind as we imagine the future?

Discussion Moderated by Martinique Mims and Dr. Isaiah Hunt

Rooted in a Sankofa approach and inspired by Afrofuturist thought, the experience will center conversation, art submission, and a communal tea experience. We are extending an invitation to local artists whose work and presence have helped shape the cultural and artistic landscape of Cleveland.

We would love for you to:

● Attend this intergenerational exchange of memory, vision, and possibility

● Participate in an herbal workshop experience with Steeped Pearl Tea Co.

● Submit a 30sec to 2min clip of you responding a prompt

● Participate in an editorial Afrofuturistic shoot

This gathering is also part of a larger evolving project, TEA: The Evolution Archive, which we are developing into a potential exhibition later this year. Whatever you archived from the conversation, if you’d like during the event you can make it into a custom tea blend and portray it in curated photos to make a custom tea blend.

Your voice, perspective, and legacy would add something deeply meaningful to this space.
