Tea's Times

Tea is enjoyed across the globe by individuals and communities every day. It inspires cultural customs and national identities. It is medicinal, cleansing, addictive, it speaks of home, community, ritual, and an extractive and painful history of trade. The Horniman Museum’s origins in the profits of the tea trade are being reconsidered through a decolonial lens in their new exhibition: 茶, चाय Tea. Students, staff and alumni of UAL, through a project led by Fine Art Photography at Camberwell, have made this work in response. Their artwork explores individual and specific relationships to tea and photography.
