MAKE IT WITH TEA
What is the vitality of tea in this time of upheaval?
It is the sensibility and conductivity of it to each individual life and all things around us. It offers us various perspectives to see the world. Our instinctive ways to process and adapt during this special time through our bodies and minds is a genuine group reflection at this moment in the very world we live in.
Make It with Tea is a project of Summer Tea in Prospect Park 2020 in August, in respond to the pandemic and the new social environment we live in. Our featured artists are leading these projects into the Summer Tea. Together, they present the unique human potential to observe, process, adapt and create through tea.
Join us to create together!
Summer Tea in Prospect Park 2020 is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).
