The Taking of the Tea

Exposition name: The Taking of the Tea
Location: Salon Regional de Artistas
Date: 2009

Description: The performance features a character resembling a pin-up housewife who serves coca and poppy cakes along with tea, playfully subverting traditional notions and stigmas surrounding the consumption of coca. By presenting these substances in a domestic, almost nostalgic context, the work reimagines their cultural roles and invites reflection on normalization, colonial narratives, and plant agency. Presented at the Salón Regional de Artistas under the curatorship of Mariángela Méndez and Verónica Wiman.
