The ‘Nice Cup of Tea’ programme was developed with Angeli Vaid. This programme highlighted how, through the simple everyday act of drinking a cup of tea, we are all linked to the history of Empire, trade and transatlantic slavery. Myfanwy and Angeli worked with local community and university members to explore this complex legacy through exhibitions, spoken-word performances, discussions and innovative partnerships, with a lasting legacy in the city.
