SUMMARY:Thinking Through Tea
DESCRIPTION:Lunder Institute @ Yale Center for British Art Thinking Through Tea: Art, Resistance, and Global Entanglements in the Age of American Independence<br><br>Marking the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence, this program reconsiders American resistance not as a singular political rupture, but as a material and visual process shaped through objects, images, and everyday rituals. Rather than treating independence as an abstract ideal, it asks how freedom was experienced, negotiated, resisted, and contested through practices often far from the political stage yet deeply enmeshed in global systems of extraction and exploitation. From drinking tea and sweetening foodstuffs with sugar, to furnishing interiors with tropical woods, wearing imported or locally adapted textiles, or handling silver objects, these material acts encoded both refinement and refusal.&nbsp;<a href="https://britishart.yale.edu/register-thinking-through-tea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Registration recommended</a>&nbsp;<br><br><a href="https://britishart.yale.edu/exhibitions-programs/thinking-through-tea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more</a>&nbsp;
