The Beniba Centre, The Glasgow Women’s Library and The Necessary Space are pleased to present Unsweetened Conversations (bush) Tea Services, a collaborative, interdisciplinary conversationThis fluid exchange, moderated by Dr. Peggy Brunache (Haiti/USA/Scotland), was with Barbados-based visual artist Annalee Davis, Glasgow-based artist Ashanti Harris (Scotland/Guyana), and the husband-wife team behind The Artisan Grower – Robert and Michelle Sullivan (Aruba/Grenada/Haiti/Ireland/Scotland). During the dynamic debate, Davis served (bush) tea made collaboratively with Heritage Teas of Barbados. Called Ancestral Voices, it combines breadfruit, mint and leaves with turmeric.
The pre-recorded session which explored colonial memories, shared transatlantic histories, ecological crises, alternative farming practices, spirituality, living apothecaries, extractive economies, the Black Atlantic, Scottish-Caribbean connections and potential futures, will be followed by a live Q&A with Dr. Peggy Brunache and Annalee Davis. We look forward to welcoming you to this vital exchange of curious minds!
