The Expresso Project (2012)
Performance, installation with wallpaper and mini expresso bar.
Produced in 2012, The Expresso Project was a temporary espresso-bar that explored the potential of coffee as a catalyst for social change.
By creating a micro-utopian context in which visitors were invited to consider coffee’s relationship to revolutionary narratives and contemporary workers’ movements, I sought to highlight the socioeconomic and geopolitical dimensions of coffee production and consumption then. Dealing with a greenwashing and antagonistic dilemma, I served espresso-shots accompanied by a single card, exalting the qualities of our today most "exotic" beverage.
