Focused on sharing tea together, this session is a performative conversation about the contradictory nature of hospitality, which at the same time that it is generous, subtly reaffirms the position of whoever is offering that hospitality. It is an exchange premised on the host being in control – something that has the potential to be productive as well as problematic.
